Redefining Aerospace Materials: Knight Group Brings Europe's Largest Nickel Alloy Inventory to Paris Air Show 2025

Explore cutting-edge nickel alloys, advanced processing tech, and custom metal solutions from Hall 2b, Stand H174.

The World's Premier Aerospace & Defence Event

Paris Air Show 2025 – undoubtedly the world’s largest aerospace and defence exhibition – returns to Le Bourget Airport, Paris, from June 16–22. Since 1909, the Paris Air Show has been the global epicentre of aerospace innovation, bringing together industry leaders, manufacturers, suppliers, and decision-makers worldwide.

While celebrating 100+ years of aviation history, Paris Air Show represents far more than a legacy exhibition for the aerospace and defence sectors. It’s an event where billion-dollar deals are negotiated, groundbreaking technologies unveiled, and the future of aerospace and defence is reimagined and redefined. The combination of impressive static displays, breathtaking flying demonstrations, and unrivalled access to expertise and innovation at the trade exhibition makes it the essential event place for anyone operating within the aerospace and defence supply chains.
