THE ROAD TO FARNBOROUGH ‘ 22

Farnborough is a small town in Hampshire , England , just 20 miles west of London and at its nearby airfield , one of the largest biennial events in the aerospace defense industry takes place , the Farnborough International Airshow ( FIA ). It is a must do for decision makers in the aerospace defense industry for 2022 !

It ’ s maybe a surprise that Farnborough still has pulling power , as in years gone by the airshow was primarily a showcase for the U . K .’ s once mighty domestic aerospace and defense industries to advertise their wares to the world . Therefore , it ’ s worth remembering that Farnborough International is a wholly owned subsidiary of ADS Group Limited , the trade body for the U . K . aerospace , defense , security and space sector representing more than 1100 U . K . businesses .
