Farnborough International gets new schedule
The number of trade days at the next Farnborough International Air Show (July 18 to 23, 2006) has been reduced from five to four.

The number of trade days at the next Farnborough International Air Show (July 18 to 23, 2006) has been reduced from five to four. Instead of starting on Monday, as it has in the past, the event will run from Tuesday through Sunday, and the first four days will be reserved for professional visitors, while the weekend will continue to be set aside for the public. There is no officially designated media day. Possible changes in the show’s organizers and scheduling were a subject of discussion at this year’s July show.

On Monday afternoon there will be an eve-of-show aerospace industry conference for senior executives and government officials followed by the annual Farnborough International dinner. Organizers have made the changes in response to exhibitor complaints about the rising cost of participation.
