Well, unless you’ve been hiding under a rock recently it won’t have escaped your attention that the Farnborough International Airshow is almost upon us. As well as seeing many planes, seasoned travellers to this showcase event will also be seeing many trains and automobiles too. Will it look good from afar, but be far from good once inside the exhibition halls? Amid growing optimism in the UK economy, organisers Farnborough International Ltd is confident that there is a strong demand from international primes and tier supply chain aerospace companies, organisations and delegations for the 2016 event. And among many exciting announcements, this year’s Farnborough ‘firsts’ will include a show debut for the F-35 Lighting II. Airshows like Farnborough continue to promote success by way of the signed agreements for orders that take place throughout the halls – many of which will go on to generate business for everyone connected with this global industry. After all, where else in the world are the sector’s major players brought together as a captive audience in one week and under one roof? Regardless of whether your company is a major OEM or SME, walk around Farnborough’s busy halls this year and at its very heart you’ll find teams of committed people attending and exhibiting for the sole purpose of networking, forming partnerships and making it a pleasure to do business.
