The story of Airexpo.

From 1987 to the present day.

Airexpo is a long history that began in 1987 on the initiative of two students from ENAC and ENSICA, passionate about aeronautics. Located in Lasbordes and then at the Muret-Lherm aerodrome since 1992, it is the beginning of the only airshow in the world organized by students.

Over the years, the meeting has welcomed more and more visitors until it reaches its cruising altitude, hosting renowned patrols such as the Patrouille de France or even the Red Arrows. In 2001, Supaero (today ISAE-Supaero) joined the organizing team of the meeting. It is still entirely organized by the first-grade students. 2006 is the year of Airexpo’s 20th anniversary, the A380 which flew for the first time a year earlier greets the team and visitors with a very beautiful demonstration.

Some changes take place in 2009, Air Expo becomes Airexpo, the logo of the meeting is updated. The entrance is now paid, although accessible thanks to the support of the project partners. The 30th edition of the meeting is celebrated on May 21, 2016 under a bright sun, the sustainability of the meeting no longer needs to be demonstrated and despite the ever greater challenge that the organization of an air event represents, the students of ENAC and ISAE-Supaero show unchanged determination.

Today, the students who perpetuate Airexpo have no other desire than to share their passion, to trigger this spark that sometimes appeared to them younger, during an airshow. A goal that is not about to change!
