TOKYO, Sept 17, 2024 - (JCN Newswire) - The Society of Japanese Aerospace Companies (Chairman: Tomomi Nakamura, Chairman of SUBARU CORPORATION) and Tokyo Big Sight Inc. (President: Nobuhiro Maeda) are proud to announce the Japan International Aerospace Exhibition 2024, to be held over four days from October 16 (Wed.) to October 19 (Sat.), 2024, at Tokyo Big Sight (3-11-1 Ariake, Koto-ku, Tokyo). The Japan International Aerospace Exhibition 2024 will promote trade and information exchange in the aerospace industry, as well as promote the industry, public understanding, and interest among the younger generation through a wide range of exhibits that will include new fields such as AAM and decarbonization, in addition to the manufacture, operation, and MRO for aviation, space, and defense technology, as well as new areas such as AAM and decarbonization. This year, 663 companies/organizations (as of August 31) will exhibit.

The main theme of this year's exhibition is "SOARING for DIVERSITY, over the GLOBAL-SKY, into SPACE". The environment surrounding the aerospace industry has changed drastically and is expanding in new ways. The main theme represents the future expansion and diversification of the aerospace industry and the desire to promote the aerospace industry together, and "SOARING for DIVERSITY, over the GLOBAL-SKY, into SPACE" is initialed "SDGS," symbolizing the establishment of a new exhibition on the SDGs, which the aerospace industry is now required to address.

In addition, three sub-themes have been established to provide a clearer direction for JA2024. This year, JA2024 will expand beyond traditional exhibition areas to include new fields such as decarbonization (covering SAF, hydrogen, and electrification), advanced air mobility (featuring flying cars and drones), and space business (including small satellite applications and space exploration), which have been drawing increasing interest in recent years.

The sub-themes
1. SDGs in Aerospace Industries
2. Transportation System for Emerging Sky
3. Challenge to New Domain for Human Activities, Outer-Space & Cyber-Space
