Farnborough International Airshow 2026 will run from 20 to 24 July at Farnborough in the United Kingdom, with a first aircraft selection already circulating for the flying and static displays. The early line-up points to a show built around commercial aircraft, military platforms, business aviation and emerging technologies, alongside a sold-out exhibition floor.
The organiser has placed the 2026 edition around defence, sustainability, future flight, space, and workforce themes. That framework is likely to shape the aircraft mix, with emphasis on lower-emission civil types, advanced military systems, drones and eVTOL concepts, and other demonstrators suited to live display. The public day, Pioneers of Tomorrow, is scheduled for 24 July and is intended to support careers outreach across aerospace and defence.
Farnborough remains one of the sector’s key venues for programme signalling, fleet positioning and technology validation. The 2026 edition follows the 2022 post-pandemic return and is being positioned as a major industry meeting point for order activity, defence messaging and new mobility concepts.
