The Aero bar was made available for a short time in the United States by Nestlé during the 1980s, though it seems not to have been a commercial success.
Aero enjoys a large market following in South Africa with Aero, Aero Mint, and recently White Aero and Cappuccino Aero.
In Brazil, the bar is known as Suflair, but in 2014 Nestlé launched Aero in Brazilian market through subsidiary Garoto in Hungary, Aero is known as Boci Aero and in the Netherlands as Bros (meaning "brittle"). The flavours include Aero Chocolate and Aero Mint Chocolate, with chocolate pieces and sauce. The Aero flavoured McFlurry frozen desserts were available up until 2015, and brought back in the UK in May 2019. The packaging was in soft pink and mint shades with metallic highlights and Williamson's butterfly motif. In September 2015, fashion designer Matthew Williamson collaborated with Nestlé to release a limited edition wrapper design for Aero Milk Chocolate and Aero Peppermint bars. In February 2015, York's Chocolate Story museum celebrated the 80th anniversary of the launch of the Aero bar with demonstrations and activities. Nestlé invested over £1 million in new factory equipment in 2015 to manufacture the new Aero Mousse bars. In 2015, the factory was making more than one billion Kit Kats and 200 million Aero bars each year. That same year, Aero's packaging was updated with metallised laminate film to improve freshness. In 2008, the old Nestlé York factory on Haxby Road was closed, and a new £15 million Aero factory was opened next door, with the capacity to make 183 million chocolate bars per year. In 2004, three workers at the York factory were dismissed for intentionally misprinting rude messages on the packaging of 20 pallets of Aero bars. In 1997, Unilever sued Nestlé, stating that Nestlé infringed Unilever's patent for aerated chocolate ice cream products. Nestlé were later fined for failing to ensure worker safety by not isolating the power to the Aero mixer. He had leaned into the chocolate mixer to clean excess chocolate from the sides, and then fell, and became caught in the paddles, which started up automatically, causing severe injuries. In August 1993, a factory worker at Nestlé UK's factory in York was injured by machinery that produced mint-flavoured Aero bars. ĭuring July 1983, the heatwave in the United Kingdom caused the bubbles in Aero bars to collapse due to the chocolate melting. The 1953 Aero packaging commemorated the Queen's coronation. It included a 1950s Aero label to transform modern products.

The vintage packaging from the Nestlé UK & Ireland Archive was later released as a "reminiscence pack" on advice from the UK Alzheimer's Society. In 2014, the historical 1935 Aero packaging was placed online by historians at Rowntree's to help trigger nostalgic memories in people with dementia. The wrapping was brown (green in the mint version) and displayed the "Rowntree's" script logo and the large word "AERO", along with the slogan "Hold on tight or I'll fly away!" below the "AERO" name. In 1935, Rowntree's launched Aero into the United Kingdom, followed by the Peppermint Aero from 1959. As the chocolate cools, reduced air pressure allows the bubbles to expand inside the bar's filling. It is poured into moulds of the solid outer chocolate shell. The patent describes how the chocolate is heated and then aerated to create small bubbles.
The process of manufacture was patented in 1935 by Rowntree's in York, England.
