RADAR 2026 is the applied-AI summit for the aviation ecosystem — parts trading, air show operations, border surveillance, unmanned systems and private aviation, gathered in one hangar of ideas on the Mediterranean.
From a used-serviceable-material desk sourcing a landing-gear component in Dallas, to a border patrol unit fusing radar and satellite feeds outside a private airstrip — the same class of AI tooling is quietly rewriting how the aviation world makes decisions.
RADAR brings the people who build and buy that tooling into one room for three days: procurement leads, display pilots, counter-UAS engineers, FBO operators, customs and border authorities, and the AI vendors serving all of them.
Each track runs applied case studies first — the stage is for operators, not slideware.
AI-driven sourcing and demand forecasting for aircraft parts, provenance verification, counterfeit detection, and predictive inventory across MRO and used-serviceable-material markets.
Flight-planning and safety analytics, weather and crowd-flow modelling, and airspace deconfliction tools for display teams and air show organisers.
Computer vision and sensor fusion for airport perimeters and land borders, automated anomaly detection, and decision-support for customs and border authorities.
Drone traffic management and autonomy, detection and mitigation of unauthorised UAS, and the regulatory frameworks catching up with both.
AI scheduling and turnaround optimisation, predictive maintenance, and concierge automation for private airports, FBOs and business aviation operators.
Data platforms, digital twins and decision-support systems underpinning modern ATC, ground handling and airport operations.
A working agenda — final session titles are confirmed closer to the event.
Skala Hall foyer, Radisson Blu Larnaca.
Where applied AI is actually shipping across aviation today, and where it's still slideware.

Guided operational tour, limited places, advance registration required.
Where the summit travels next, and what's on the runway for next year.
Sourcing leads, MRO buyers and USM traders looking at AI-driven supply chain tools.
Display teams, event producers and airspace planners running civil and military air shows.
Agencies evaluating sensor fusion and automated monitoring at airports and land borders.
Drone fleet operators, counter-UAS vendors and civil aviation authorities.
Private airport operators, business aviation services and ground handling teams.
Companies building the platforms the rest of the room is buying.
RADAR 2026 is hosted in Skala Hall, the hotel's 190 m² landmark event space on the 16th floor, with uninterrupted Mediterranean views along the Finikoudes seafront. Breakout sessions and workshops run across the property's mezzanine meeting rooms.
The venue sits minutes from Larnaka Marina and the promenade, with Larnaka International Airport (LCA) just a short transfer away — convenient for delegates flying in for a single day or the full summit.
Producer of major European air shows and aviation events — including Gdynia Aerobaltic and Poznań Air Show — AEROPACT brings its display and event-operations expertise to RADAR's air show track and welcome reception.
