FIA 2016: Farnborough signs to continue organising Bahrain Airshow
Farnborough International has assisted the Kingdom of Bahrain in the planning and organising of the Bahrain International Airshow since 2010, with the 2016 show seeing orders of over $9 billion and a date change to November 2018, to accommodate the growing event.
Speaking about Farnborough International’s growing business, Chief Executive, Shaun Ormrod (right) said, “We are extremely pleased that our expertise is being called-upon. As one of the UK largest and oldest international trade exhibitions and air displays we are well rehearsed on the planning and execution of such events with strong relationships with the many organisations that exhibit at the show.”
Farnborough International’s Commercial Director, Amanda Stainer, further added: “The aerospace supply chain is always looking for new technological advancements that will enable it to complete orders quicker. Furthermore, the MRO sector is set to grow with more and more aircraft coming online to satisfy the demand for air travel. As such we are experiencing more enquiries from international event organisers and governments looking to explore the business opportunities in their own geographic region.”
