A major international aviation event is coming to Vantaa this autumn. The 119th FAI General Conference will take place from 20 to 24 October 2025 in Vantaa, Finland. The last time Finland hosted this event was in 1969 in Helsinki. Now, the spotlight turns to Vantaa, a city known for its strong ties to aviation.
The conference brings together aviation and air sports professionals, enthusiasts, and decision-makers from around the world. Vantaa is the perfect location: it’s home to Helsinki-Vantaa Airport, a major international hub and a gateway to Finland’s rich aviation heritage.
The FAI General Conference is the annual gathering of Member Delegates to discuss key air sports topics, make strategic decisions, and help shape the Federation’s future. It also offers a valuable opportunity to share ideas, exchange experiences, and strengthen global collaboration.
In 2025, the collaborative spirit of the General Conference will be enhanced by a new forum titled “Working Better Together.” Designed to encourage practical cooperation among FAI stakeholders, it will feature workshops, keynotes, and roundtable discussions—providing space for open dialogue, innovative thinking, and joint problem-solving. The forum aims to strengthen communication, align priorities, and foster a more unified approach to the future of air sports.
