“Bringing aspects of the show to the global aerospace industry”
Speaking about the launch of FIA Connect, Gareth Rogers, Chief Executive of Farnborough International said: “The cancellation of the Airshow in response to the COVID-19 pandemic was a major shock, however the team is determined to create something that brings as many aspects of the show to the global aerospace industry as possible.”
“Through our biennial Airshow, we have been privileged to serve as a platform for connecting industry, facilitating business growth, and showcasing the very latest in innovation and technology.
“The Farnborough International team is working hard to deliver a week of world-class content and thought leadership in order to provide some support to industry at a time when we cannot meet.”
