Beyond its established trade and exhibition components, LIMA 2027 is expanding its programme through new initiatives designed to engage emerging talent and communities, including AeroEsport GT. The tournament reflects LIMA 2027’s commitment to embracing technology and creating new ways for younger generations and aviation enthusiasts to connect with the wider aerospace ecosystem.
LIMA 2027 is proudly supported by a strong network of corporate sponsors representing diverse industries. These include Mercedes-Benz Malaysia Sdn Bhd, Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG), PETRONAS Dagangan Berhad, TM Technology Services Sdn Bhd, AeroDarat Services Sdn Bhd, Batik Air Malaysia, AFFIN BANK BERHAD, Spritzer Bhd, Bufori Motor Car Company (M) Sdn Bhd, Twin Matrix Technologies Pte Ltd, ORIS Watches (M) Sdn Bhd, Corporate Hero Century Sdn Bhd, World Hobby Miniatures Enterprise and NAWY Venture.

Commenting on the collaboration, Mr Abd Hafiz bin A Bakar, Chief Executive Officer of Global Exhibitions & Conferences Sdn. Bhd. (GEC), co-organiser of LIMA 2027, said:

AeroEsport GT connects three important parts of the aviation journey:
August Tech powers the flying technology, using AI and predictive analytics to record and evaluate performance.
Lifted is the learning marketplace, connecting participants with aviation resources and tutors.
AeroEsport GT is the tournament league, combining remote qualification, rankings and live events.
While Microsoft Flight Simulator supports many aircraft types, the 2027 AeroEsport GT League will focus on Diamond aircraft to give every participant a consistent flying experience. August Tech’s connected system records each flight and uses AI-assisted performance analysis and predictive insights to help participants understand their strengths, weaknesses and progress, supported by learning resources and tutors available through Lifted.
Designed for participants from as young as seven through to licensed pilots, the ecosystem supports discovery, continuous learning and ongoing simulator practice. By training consistently on the same Diamond aircraft remotely, newcomers can build familiarity with its controls, cockpit procedures and flying fundamentals before transitioning to supervised flight training, while experienced pilots can continue practising and reviewing their performance.
Nicole Chong, Founder and CEO of August Tech, said:
"We’re honoured to bring AeroEsport GT to LIMA 2027. Our mission is simple: bring the precision once reserved for elite flight-training environments within everyone’s reach. Whether you are seven or already licensed, you can fly, measure your progress and keep improving. Aviation should not feel distant—it should feel possible."
Following LIMA 2027, AeroEsport GT will continue to Indonesia for its League with PMATOII and SMK Medikacom in Bandung on 22–23 June 2027.
