Airspace Asia Pacific 2025 made its debut in Hong Kong, marking the first time the long-established Airspace World expanded beyond Europe to Asia. The event leveraged Hong Kong’s position as one of the world’s fastest-growing aviation markets and the region’s leading airspace management hub.

Held from 9–11 December at AsiaWorld-Expo, the event convened more than 2,000 air traffic management leaders from 100-plus countries and regions to explore breakthrough technologies, regulatory developments and operational advancements shaping the future of aviation.

With a slate of high-level sessions, expert panels and exhibitions from industry leading companies such as Thales, Aireon and Indra Group, the event served as a crucial platform for air navigation service providers, regulators and tech firms to drive airspace modernisation and forge partnerships.

Hong Kong’s position as a leading aviation hub was ideal for furthering future-shaping discussions that drive airspace innovation – from digitalisation to AI, collaborative management of shared airspace and sustainable airspace solutions. The event has reinforced Hong Kong’s dual role as a premier MICE destination and Asia’s aviation innovation hub, aligning with the city’s vision to lead in aviation and smart mobility.
