For suppliers in the aerospace technology and equipment industry who wish to directly contact with domestic and foreign buyers and achieve business cooperation, the effective way to achieve their goals is to participate in the Purchasing Fair of Golden Commercial.

AIE CHINA 2027  is committed to providing a unique business opportunity for suppliers to directly contact global target buyers, as well as deepening the cooperation and exchanges and improve sales performance.

Concurrent Activities

Focusing on cabin refurbishment, interior upgrades and aviation engineering innovation, the show will connect industry expertise with technical solutions and business opportunities. During the exhibition, the exhibition will also feature three signature events, including the 10th International Aviation Engineering Summit, Business Matchmaking Meetings and Cabin Refurbishment Technical Workshop. These events will address key industry trends, regulatory compliance, targeted business matchmaking and practical technology applications, bringing together aircraft manufacturers, airlines, MRO providers and supply chain partners to create a focused and results-driven platform for industry exchange and business collaboration. Companies from across the aviation value chain, including aircraft manufacturers, airlines, MRO providers and supply chain partners, will gather in Shanghai to discuss hot issues on key industry trends, regulatory compliance, business matchmaking and practical technology applications, promoting high-value industry exchange and business collaboration.

• 10th International Aviation Engineering Summit

As the core conference of AIE CHINA, the 10th International Aviation Engineering Summit will be held under the theme of “Redefining Cabin Value through Retrofit & Refurbishment,” focusing on emerging trends in aircraft cabin refurbishment. It will attract aviation authorities, OEMs, airlines, research institutions and industry leaders, to exchange their ideas on airworthiness requirements, airline cost efficiency and the global expansion of China’s aircraft interiors industry in forms of keynotes, panel discussions and case studies. Key topics will include airworthiness certification and compliance risk management, modular interior solutions and lifecycle cost optimization, technology advances and localization across the supply chain, as well as global market opportunities and competition for China-developed aircraft interior products.

• Targeted Business Matchmaking Meetings

To connect qualified suppliers with defined procurement and project requirements, the meetings combines pre-event matching with targeted on-site meetings. Before the start of the exhibition, detailed supplier profiles covering product portfolios, technical capabilities, project credentials, service expertise and business objectives will be compiled into a dedicated sourcing database. In parallel, procurement, retrofit programs, supplier qualification and project requirements will be collected from major industry buyers, including COMAC, China Eastern Airlines and GAMECO. Following data-based screening and expert review, qualified buyer-supplier meetings will be scheduled on site, focusing on procurement, retrofit projects, technical collaboration and supply chain integration, while accelerating supplier engagement, improve sourcing efficiency and facilitate project-level business opportunities.

• Cabin Refurbishment Technical Workshop

Focused on the technical and operational challenges encountered in cabin refurbishment, the workshop will adopt a small-group, practice-oriented format featuring hands-on technical sessions, real-world case reviews, expert troubleshooting and engineering best-practice exchange. The workshop will be structured around three technical areas. The first will focus on advanced repair and refurbishment of cabin interior panels, components and soft furnishings, covering repair procedures, restoration techniques and defect rectification. The second will address aircraft ground-time optimization, with a focus on work planning, task sequencing and concurrent maintenance to shorten turnaround time and minimize operational impact. The third will cover seat refurbishment compliance, including flammability requirements, modification procedures, airworthiness approval and end-to-end compliance control, which contributed to in-depth technical engagement and hands-on engineering and compliance capabilities.

Major Exhibits

The exhibits cover a wide range of fields, including cabin equipment and management systems, aircraft seating, galley systems, in-flight entertainment and connectivity, lighting and LED solutions, composite materials, interior coatings and decorative surfaces, textiles and leather, cabin cleaning and disinfection solutions, flooring materials, onboard emergency equipment, as well as cabin design, retrofit and refurbishment solutions.
