Farnborough 2018

16 - 22 July 2018

Every two years, the Farnborough International Air Show attracts a great amount of visitors and delegations      
from all over the globe. It is a trade show with both civil and military aircraft in attendance, although the      
main focus is on the civil side. This year, $192 billion dollars in sales were announced, of which $154 billion      
was for commercial aircraft spread over more than 1,400 aircraft.      
       
For spotters the most interesting days to attend are the trade days. Most manufacturers’ aircraft will be present from      
Monday until Thursday, with several of them flying. Several other aircraft from manufacturers can usually be seen during      
one of the trade days, such as ATR72 F-WWEN on the 18th. This year saw new flying displays by the LM-100J, Mitsubishi      
MRJ, Airbus A330neo and Embraer KC-390, among others. 109 aircraft attended the trade show, of which 84 were on static      
display. During the show, many helicopters can be seen ferrying passengers from and to the airport. Because Farnborough      
is a trade show, there are still a lot of bizjet movements before and after the flying display.      
       
Below is a list of aircraft that could be seen at Farnborough during the show, sorted by civil prefix. The list and dates are      
by no means complete and is compiled from photos and logs received. A ‘*’ in the remarks column depicts flying display data.
