In the four years since the Paris Air Show was last staged at the Le Bourget site in June 2019, the most visible change by far is the exhibition center’s new Hall 3. The eye-catching structure has taken seven years to build and was completed on January 31.

The ambitious expansion has boosted the available space for exhibiting companies by 60 percent from 12,040 square meters to 19,260 square meters (207,319 square feet), which covers more than the area of three soccer pitches. To give more scope for larger exhibits, the height of the ceiling has increased from five to nine meters.
