Tangent Link announces next year’s Europe and Australia aerial firefighting shows
The 2025 conference series will include two global shows, which will take place in France and Australia
Following the successful completion of the 2024 Aerial Firefighting North America show, on 21 March Tangent Link announced that the conference series is set to run again next year.
The French show will be held from 25–27 March in Bordeaux, France, in partnership with the French Ministry of the Interior and France’s aerial firefighting agency, Sécurité Civile. The three-day show will include conference sessions, a trade show, technical workshops, and various technical demonstrations.
John Longhurst, CEO of Tangent Link, commented: “We look forward to returning to France in 2025 and wish to express our deep appreciation to the French government and regional agencies that are supporting this important event. We also look forward to adding Bordeaux and its rich aviation history to the list of cities to have hosted AFF Europe.”
Alongside this, Australia’s Aerial Firefighting series will return in August 2025, to the popular destination of Dubbo, in New South Wales. The conference will again be supported by the New South Wales Rural Fire Service, hosting the event at the RFS academy campus adjacent to Dubbo Airport.
“The people of Dubbo and the New South Wales Rural Fire Service assisted in making the Australian AFF show in 2023 a resounding success, and we look forward to returning in 2025 to continue to facilitate business and agency successes in the Asia-Pacific region,” added Longhurst.
Earlier this year, the AMR team discussed special training for aerial firefighting pilots with Conair Group.
