• U.S. aerospace firms converge at Le Bourget to highlight innovation, sustainability, and global partnerships

Waldwick, NJ, USA & Le Bourget, France . 02 June 2025 . More than 320 U.S. aerospace and defense companies from 36 states will come together at the 2025 Paris Air Show under the banner of the USA Partnership Pavilion, organized by Kallman Worldwide. Marking its 30th anniversary at the world’s premier aerospace event, the Pavilion is a powerful symbol of American industry’s enduring commitment to international cooperation, innovation, and shared progress.

Spanning over 8,000 square meters and including over 100 first-time exhibitors, the Pavilion is the largest international group exhibit at the show. The Kallman Worldwide presence also includes the largest Chalet group with 12 units representing 14 American companies. This milestone year reflects not only the growth of American presence in the global aerospace marketplace but also Kallman Worldwide’s steadfast dedication to supporting U.S. exporters abroad.

“The Paris Air Show has always been more than just a marketplace—it’s where history, innovation, and global collaboration converge,” said Tom Kallman, President and CEO of Kallman Worldwide. “This anniversary is a celebration of American leadership and lasting partnerships built over decades. The USA Partnership Pavilion and Chalet program have more than tripled in size from when they first started at Paris Air Show in 1995.”Launching this special anniversary is the Endeavour Victory Ride, a three-day, 240-mile cycling journey from the Normandy American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer to Le Bourget Airfield. The ride honors the 80th anniversary of the end of WWII and pays tribute to the enduring transatlantic alliance and the resilience of U.S. industry.

Cyclists representing the Endeavour Scholarship, U.S. and French air forces, and veterans including wounded airmen will carry American and French flags flown over the cemetery in an observance service hosted with American Battle Monuments Foundation (ABMF). The flags will then be formally presented at the Pavilion’s Opening Ceremony to invited industry leaders where they will remain on display throughout the week.

The USA Partnership Pavilion Opening Ceremony, taking place on Monday, June 16, will feature a ribbon cutting, remarks from distinguished speakers, and special photo opportunities. Invited Guests of Honor include:

  • Kelli Seybolt, Deputy Under Secretary of the Air Force for International Affairs
  • Eric Fanning, President and Chief Executive Officer, AIA
  • Frédéric Parisot, Chief Executive Officer, GIFAS

Showcasing U.S. leadership and innovation, the USA Partnership Pavilion will host some of the world’s most advanced defense technologies. This includes the display of a Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA), an unmanned aircraft “wingman” and cutting-edge development poised to reshape modern air combat created by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems.

Other planned events include a series of thought leadership sessions at the Pavilion’s Forum that explore topics such as women in aviation, cybersecurity, aerospace innovation, and next- gen training systems. Continuing its commitment to inspiring the next generation of aerospace leaders, Kallman Worldwide will host the Endeavour Scholarship Award Ceremony at the Paris Space Hub on-site at Le Bourget, on Friday, June 20, where four French students and one educator will be announced as recipients of scholarships to attend Space Camp USA.
