At the end of a busy trade week, orders and commitments announced
at this year’s Farnborough International Airshow have been
confirmed at US$72 covering a total of 758 aircraft.
The figures represent a 53% increase on the 2010
show and close to the 2008 figure when sales peaked at
US$88billion. To add further weight to the shows success, 20% of
exhibitors have already rebooked for the 2014 show.
Over the five days of the show (Monday-Friday) ,
the event attracted just over 107,000 trade visitors and over 1500
exhibitors with representation right across the supply chain. Over
70 military delegations from 46 countries attended with a further
13 delegations from the civil sector.
Shaun Ormrod, Chief Executive of FIL, said,
“2012 marks another successful year for the Farnborough
International Airshow. Our growth in exhibitor numbers and
continued patronage from organisations such as EADS, Finmeccanica
and Boeing keeps us at the top of the aerospace events calendar.
It’s also rewarding to see recognition for our efforts in creating
a more diverse event with Sir Richard Branson choosing the show to
debut the Virgin Galactic and make a major announcement. We’re
looking forward to welcoming an expected 120,000 people for the public
weekend to round off what has been a tremendous week at
Farnborough.”
