AVALON 2023

Showcasing the latest in aviation, aerospace, defence and space technologies The AVALON Australian International Airshow and Aerospace & Defence Exposition is one of the Indo Pacific’s most prestigious events and the most comprehensive aviation, aerospace and defence exposition in the southern hemisphere.

It is also one of the world’s great airshows, delivering aviation enthusiasts a three-day festival of historic and modern aircraft display flying, from the very early days of flight to today’s fifth-generation military jets. Nowhere else can the Australian public connect with such a large array of sport and recreational aircraft, business jets, helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles and the latest military aircraft in service with the Royal Australian Air Force, Royal Australian Navy and Australian Army.

Away from the public flying displays, AVALON’s international industry exhibition, conference program, innovation awards, STEM and Careers and Skills programs enable critical engagement and promotion for industry.
