Farnborough airshow

First held in 1948, the biennial Farnborough Airshow has turned into one of the industry's largest events alongside the Paris Airshow taking place on alternate years. After the last show in 2018, the airshow decided to scrap its public weekend days, focusing on the trade show from Monday-Friday. The public are still invited to purchase tickets for the final day of the show.
