A Day to Remember at the 2025 Paris Air Show with the USAIRE Student Awards Finalists! 🛫

On June 20th, we had the immense pleasure of welcoming the 2025 finalists of the USAIRE Student Awards for a full day of discovery, exchange, and inspiration at the hashtag#ParisAirShow.

The day began with a warm breakfast hosted by ARESIA, where the CEO Sylvain Rousseau delivered an inspiring speech to the finalists, encouraging them to pursue bold ideas and lead the aerospace industry of tomorrow.

The official kick-off session followed, led by CARL CHEVILLON (President of USAIRE), Héloïse Conte and Quitterie Magnin de Montlivault (President and Vice-President of ORAJe). Their words set a motivating tone for the day ahead!

Throughout the day, the finalists engaged in thought-provoking discussions with industry professionals of Embraer, Airbus and MBDA, diving deep into the 2025 essay topic and gaining valuable insights into current and future challenges in aerospace.

One of the highlights was the testimonial session featuring past laureates Maxence Cardona, Adrien Picouet Pombo, Kanto Lalaina Ravelojaona, Victor Pouille and Valentin Pruvost who shared their journey, key learnings, and advice with authenticity and enthusiasm.

This unforgettable day embodied the mission of USAIRE and ORAJe: to connect, inspire, and empower the next generation of aerospace leaders.

Huge thanks to our incredible partners Airbus, ARESIA, Embraer and MBDA for making this experience possible.

The future of aerospace is in great hands! ✈️
