Over 1,100 companies from 18 countries and regions have confirmed their attendance at the 16th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition, which will be held in south China's coastal city of Zhuhai in November, according to a recent work-coordination meeting for the event.

The biennial event, also known as Airshow China or Zhuhai Airshow, is China's largest arms show and is seen as one of the world's most important defense exhibitions.

Organizers said that preparations for the event are progressing steadily, with the indoor exhibition area exceeding 120,000 square meters. Exhibitors include world-renowned aerospace and defense companies such as Boeing, Airbus, Safran, CFM, GE, and Rolls-Royce. National exhibition groups from countries such as Germany vowed to expand their participation.

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Zhuhai Airshow. Based on the aerial performances and dynamic ground equipment displays from previous years, this year's event will further enrich its content and broaden its exhibition scope. The organizing committee will also coordinate efforts to ensure a safe visitor experience and facilitate the implementation of industrial projects, thereby promoting the development of the aerospace and maritime industries in Zhuhai.
