“This year’s applications from exhibitors has already seen a 15% increase from 2006,” says show organiser Trevor Sidebottom OBE, of Farnborough International.
“The total number of exhibitors is more than 1,500, from 40 countries, with 29 international and regional pavilions. We expect 140,000 business visitors during this week,” says Sidebottom. “This year’s show is expected to be even bigger and better than before. and what better way to start the show than with the Red Arrows,” he says.
