The 49th Farnborough International Airshow (FIA) will help mark a memorable summer in the UK next year as the eyes of the world focus on the biennial FIA ahead of the London 2012 Olympic Games. In 2010, Farnborough attracted some 250,000 visitors over a period of seven days and hosted 1,455 exhibitors from 40 countries. As always, logistics will present organizers with an enormous test, but visitors can rest assured that the show team will do all it can to again meet the challenge.

Meanwhile, Farnborough International continues to work with the Civil Aviation Authority and Olympic Air Restrictions Committee to secure special dispensation from the airspace restrictions put in place as a security measure for the Olympics so the airshow can stage its four-hour flying displays during the public weekend on July 14 and 15.
