Farnborough and Bahrain shows mean business
It is not too late to sign up to exhibit at next year’s Farnborough International  airshow, but the remaining chalets and indoor exhibits are selling

It is not too late to sign up to exhibit at next year’s Farnborough International  airshow, but the remaining chalets and indoor exhibits are selling fast. With barely eight months to go before the event opens on July 19, 2010, organizers have announced plans to make the site more accessible by adding a new bus terminal near the main pedestrian entrance at Gate B, a car-free zone at the center of the show site and a plan for all traffic to flow in the same direction along the chalet lines.

Outside the show site, dedicated bus lanes will be extended on local approach roads to make the use of shuttle buses from local rail stations, Heathrow Airport and central London more attractive to visitors than private cars and so reduce congestion. One of the key aims is to make the heart of the show site more user-friendly for pedestrians so they do not have to weave through heavy traffic.
