FIA, a bi-annual trade show, is one of the worlds' most iconic global aviation events and takes place July 19-25. The first five days of the show are traditionally trade days only, followed by a weekend where the exhibition is opened up to the public. FIA is expecting 1,300 exhibitors from the private, commercial, civil and military sectors. The show is specifically designed to facilitate tailor-made and unrivalled opportunities to meet, negotiate and announce business transactions.
The most recent airshow, FIA 2008, was a record-breaking year for business with $88.7 billion worth of orders announced during the show. 2008's event also featured 165 aircraft in static displays and spectacular flying displays and the public weekend attracted a staggering 153,000 visitors.
