Farnborough International Airshow Celebrates 75 Years | |
The 2024 show is scheduled to take place July 22-26 at Farnborough Airport (FAB) in Farnborough, Hampshire, United Kingdom. The U.K.’s Farnborough International Airshow celebrates its 75th anniversary in September 2023. The event was established by the Society of British Aircraft Constructors in 1948, with the first edition featuring 66 British aircraft. Organizers noted that the show has seen aerospace industry milestones including the launch of the world’s first jet airliner, the de Havilland DH.106 Comet 1, in 1949, the Black Arrows’ world-record 22-aircraft formation loop in 1958 and the BAC-Aerospatiale Concorde’s Farnborough debut in 1970.
