Farnborough Airshow 2026: “Exhibition Sell-Out Record, Announces New Stand Hall”

Farn­bor­ough Inter­na­tion­al Air­show has bro­ken its pre­vi­ous all-time record of sell­ing out of exhi­bi­tion stands for its 2026 Air­show (July 20th-24th) with nine months still to go, reports a press release. This has required the pro­mot­ers to add a fur­ther hall for addi­tion­al new exhibitors.

The release explains, “With this brand-new, sixth hall and a boost­ed chalet offer­ing, the 2026 event will be the largest in the show’s 78-year his­to­ry.” 

It con­tin­ues, “To date, more than 63 per­cent of the 2026 event’s exhibitors are from over­seas, mak­ing it the most inter­na­tion­al air­show glob­al­ly, with 22 per­cent of the booked organ­i­sa­tions exhibit­ing for the first time.”

Gareth Rogers, CEO of Farn­bor­ough Inter­na­tion­al, com­ment­ed, “The expan­sion of our site and the open­ing of the new hall mark an excit­ing new chap­ter, enabling us to wel­come more exhibitors and new sec­tors, show­case fur­ther cut­ting-edge tech­nolo­gies, and cre­ate even greater oppor­tu­ni­ties for inter­na­tion­al trade and part­ner­ship.”

He con­tin­ued, “This invest­ment reflects our com­mit­ment to keep­ing Farn­bor­ough Inter­na­tion­al at the fore­front of the indus­try and sup­port­ing the growth of our pri­ma­ry indus­tries.”

Next July’s event is to host the largest Amer­i­can pres­ence in the show’s his­to­ry, with the likes of the U.S Pavil­ion by Kall­man World­wide, Boe­ing, Lock­heed Mar­tin, Bell Tex­tron and GE Aero­space, occu­py­ing tens of thou­sands of square metres on the site. Unit­ed States elec­tric air taxi man­u­fac­tur­er, Archer, is one of the first exhibitors in the new hall.

With 26 already con­firmed, the num­ber of inter­na­tion­al pavil­ions dis­play­ing at the event has also increased, with the likes of India, Aus­tralia, Japan, Mex­i­co, Brazil and Switzer­land host­ing rep­re­sen­ta­tives from the glob­al indus­try.

The Covid Lock­down seems a very dis­tant mem­o­ry.

The show will see the return of the UK Gov­ern­ment Hub, Space Zone, Busi­ness Con­nec­tions Exchange, and award-win­ning Aero­space Glob­al Forum, as well as the next gen­er­a­tion of STEM lead­ers as part of the Airshow’s Pio­neers of Tomor­row, a spe­cial day ded­i­cat­ed to inspir­ing, engag­ing and recruit­ing the industry’s future work­force.

The release con­cludes, “Farn­bor­ough remains the most impor­tant inter­na­tion­al plat­form for the glob­al aero­space, defence and space indus­tries, as well as adja­cent sec­tors.”
