At the Farnborough International Exhibition & Conference Centre in Farnborough, Hampshire, UK, on the site of the historic Farnborough Aerodrome. It is reachable by rail and road from London in roughly an hour.

Exhibitors from around 41 countries are expected, making it one of the largest aerospace and defence gatherings in the world.

For 2026 the weekdays run Monday–Thursday (20–23 July) as trade and business-only days. Friday 24 July adds a public element — the 'Pioneers of Tomorrow' STEM and family day — alongside continued trade access. There is no separate Saturday/Sunday public weekend; check ticket details on the official Farnborough International website.

Every two years, in even-numbered years, alternating with the Paris Air Show in odd years. The 2026 edition follows 2024 and precedes 2028.

It is the world's premier aerospace trade event, known for major commercial aircraft orders, defence and space announcements, live flying displays, and sustainable-aviation showcases.

Exhibit space — shell-scheme stands, pavilion shares, exhibition halls, and flightline chalets — is booked through Farnborough International, typically 12–18 months ahead.
