Farnborough Airshow 2026

The Farnborough International Airshow is one of the world's leading aerospace, aviation and defence exhibitions. Held every two years in Hampshire, it brings together aircraft manufacturers, defence organisations, suppliers, governments and engineering companies from around the world.

The Farnborough International Airshow takes place between 20th and 24th July 2026.

Trade visitors attend from Monday to Thursday, with Friday featuring the Pioneers of Tomorrow careers event.

The event takes place at the Farnborough International Exhibition & Conference Centre in Hampshire, England.

The venue is easily accessible by road, rail and nearby airports.

Most of the event is reserved for trade visitors.

However, Friday's Pioneers of Tomorrow event provides opportunities for students, apprentices, young people and aviation enthusiasts to experience the exhibition.

The exhibition welcomes professionals from aerospace, aviation, defence, engineering, manufacturing, government and associated industries.

Registration is required before attending.

Previous events have featured leading organisations including major aircraft manufacturers, defence contractors, engine manufacturers, technology providers and hundreds of specialist engineering suppliers from around the world.

The official flying display programme is confirmed closer to the event.

Visitors can typically expect demonstrations from commercial aircraft, military aircraft, helicopters, business jets and emerging aerospace technologies.

Farnborough is recognised as one of the world's premier aerospace trade events.

It is where significant commercial agreements are announced, new technologies are unveiled and organisations develop international partnerships.

Both events are regarded as two of the world's leading aerospace exhibitions.

The Paris Air Show is generally larger in overall attendance, while Farnborough remains one of the most influential events for aerospace, defence and advanced manufacturing.

The UK is home to world-leading aerospace and defence organisations, including aircraft manufacturers, defence contractors, propulsion specialists, systems integrators, advanced manufacturing companies and a highly developed supply chain supporting global programmes.

Large industry events provide organisations with opportunities to network, discuss future programmes and engage with recruitment specialists who understand the technical skills required to deliver them.

Many hiring conversations begin during Farnborough before recruitment campaigns launch later in the year.
