The biennial event features major aerospace players like Airbus and Boeing, as well as emerging firms in defence and drones, while the sector navigates production delays and supply constraints.

Organisers expect record attendance and strong business interest this year, including new segments like a space technology summit, even as global manufacturers adjust to shifting demand.
