Farnborough
The Farnborough International Airshow is a week-long event that combines a major trade exhibition for the aerospace and defence industries with a public airshow. The first five days are dedicated exclusively to trade, with the final two days open to the public.[1]
The event is held in mid-July in even-numbered years at Farnborough Airport in Hampshire, England; the next event will occur in 2014.
The UK show is organised by Farnborough International Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of ADS Group Limited (ADS). According to the organisers, the 2012 Farnborough show attracted 109,000 trade visitors over the first five days, and 100,000 public visitors on the Saturday and Sunday. Orders and commitments for 758 aircraft were announced, worth US$72 billion.
From 1996 to 2010, the show had its own official radio station operated by the staff and students of nearby Farnborough College of Technology.
