Aero Friedrichshafen Cancelled

[Deleted]

Just seen on the LAASi site that Aero Friedrichshafen has been cancelled due to the concerns re Covid -19. First of many I'm afraid. No new date given if any.



Don't panic buy, and wash your hands.

This is the message from the organisers:-


As Head of AERO Friedrichshafen I have experienced many situations during the last 30 years which have affected the global economy and the aerospace industry in a negative way. But never before an incident had such a strong impact on the global economy like the new Coronavirus.



I always believed in the saying: There is no total safety. There are only various levels of uncertainty.



Until we received this information, my team and I were convinced, that this would also be valid in dealing with the Coronavirus and that despite existing uncertainties we can run AERO Friedrichshafen 2020 with around 700 exhibitors as planned.



Since the last days we have received a growing number of cancellations and explicit signals by our exhibitors and visitors, which makes an implementation of AERO Friedrichshafen 2020 not possible anymore. In addition to these economical reasons, we have to ensure the health and safety of our attendees in the best possible way. This means that we have to postpone AERO Friedrichshafen 2020 to another not yet defined date.



I would like to use this opportunity to express my special thanks for your support of AERO Friedrichshafen. In aviation we have to stick together in tough times, therefore I hope that you remain a loyal partner for the upcoming editions of the show.



With kind regards

Roland Bosch

Another from the LAASi website- in relation to the virus- info that Airbus Tours around Toulouse are also suspended. Not sure how good the info is.
