Future airshows in prospect

Farnborough International’s consultancy business had a bumper year at this month’s airshow, with a string of new agreements for future overseas events.

Subject to political harmony returning to Turkey, the company has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Turkish event organiser MedyaCity to develop the Eurasia Airshow, which is planned for April 2018 in Antalya.

Farnborough International also has an MOU with Chengdu Hi-Tech Zone and the EU Project Innovation Centre to develop the Sichuan International Airshow, which is planned to take place at the Chengdu’s new international airport in September 2019.

And the consultancy has signed a new contract with Bahrain’s ministry of transportation and telecommunications to plan and organise the 2018 and 2020 Bahrain International Airshows, with an option for two further shows after that.  

Farnborough International has assisted Bahrain with the kingdom’s show since 2010, with the 2016 event seeing orders of more than US$9bn. The date for 2018 has been changed to November to accommodate the growing popularity.

Farnborough International chief executive Shaun Ormrod said: “As one of the UK’s largest and oldest international trade exhibitions and air displays, we are well rehearsed in the planning and execution of such events and have strong relationships with the many organisations that exhibit with us.”
