    Fiona O’Sullivan, event organiser, envisioned bringing the thrill and excitement of aviation directly to the next generation. “We want students to not just learn about aviation but to experience it first-hand – to smell it, breathe it, touch it, and feel it,” Fiona remarked. “This event will immerse them in the fascinating world of aviation through interactive exhibits and experiences.”

    The day’s festivities will be kicked off by the dynamic duo of Ally Garvey and Karl Bowe, who will serve as hosts for AvCon Talks on the Main Stage, welcoming students and guiding them through the exciting line-up of events. It will be open exclusively to schools, with group bookings available. Described as the Comic Con event of Aviation, this unique gathering will feature over 100 exhibitors, offering a comprehensive insight into the multifaceted world of aviation.

    Please note that this event is available to school groups only and is not open to the general public.
