Farnborough International Airshow has experienced unprecedented demand for its 2026 instalment with more than 85% of the show floor and chalets already reserved or sold.

Following its success in 2024 with a 33% increase in visitors, 57% increase in delegation attendance and more than $105bn in commercial deals announced by industry titans, Farnborough International Airshow has cemented its reputation as an unmissable event in the aerospace calendar. The sold-out show, which took place in July 2024, welcomed over 100,000 visitors, 1,500 exhibitors from 60 countries, featured 90 civil and military aircraft, hosted 390 delegations (civil, military and space) with the 2026 event set to exceed these numbers.

Returning to the calendar 20-24 July 2026 at Farnborough International’s Exhibition & Conference Centre, Hampshire, UK, companies including Airbus. BAE Systems, Lockheed Martin, Bell, Viasat and MBDA have already secured their stands at the award-winning event. Kallman Worldwide was the first international partner to sign for the event securing a record 2,500sqm pavilion space, strengthening the relationship between US and UK industries.

Gareth Rogers, CEO of Farnborough International, said: “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.”

The premier event to engage with industry peers on a global stage, Farnborough International Airshow 2026 offers a unique opportunity for leading innovators in aerospace and defence industries to showcase their advancements and develop business opportunities through the convening power of its award-winning organising team.
