March 12, 2025
The Farnborough International Airshow is set to reach new heights in 2026, with over 85% of its show floor and chalets already reserved or sold. The overwhelming demand follows the record-breaking success of the 2024 event, which saw a 33% increase in visitors, a 57% rise in delegation attendance, and over $105 billion in commercial deals announced.
The 2024 instalment of the biennial event welcomed more than 100,000 visitors and 1,500 exhibitors from 60 countries, featuring 90 civil and military aircraft displays. With 390 delegations from civil, military, and space sectors in attendance, the airshow solidified its reputation as a must-attend event for aerospace and defence professionals worldwide. Organisers expect the 2026 edition to surpass these figures.
Returning to Farnborough International’s Exhibition & Conference Centre from July 20-24 2026, the event has already secured commitments from industry giants, including Airbus, BAE Systems, Lockheed Martin, Bell, Viasat, and MBDA. Kallman Worldwide, a key international partner, was the first to confirm participation, securing a record 2,500 sqm pavilion to further strengthen US-UK industry ties.
Gareth Rogers, CEO of Farnborough International, expressed confidence in the continued momentum of the event: “After reaching unprecedented heights in 2024, we can see clearly that demand will once again exceed availability of exhibition space in 2026. From dynamic UK start-ups to global industry innovators, the exhibition halls and chalets are incredibly diverse and reflective of the global aerospace, defence, and space sectors today. With no sign of slowing down, combined with our unrelenting focus on customer experience, we are projecting that 100% of all exhibition space will be secured before the end of this year. We look forward to welcoming the industry to the world’s best airshow in 2026.”
Farnborough International Airshow continues to be the premier event for engaging with global industry leaders, fostering innovation, and driving business development. With its award-winning organising team at the helm, the 2026 instalment promises an unparalleled platform for aerospace and defence professionals to showcase cutting-edge advancements and forge strategic partnerships.
