Farnborough International Airshow 2026: Exhibitor List and Floor Guide

Farnborough International Airshow 2026: Exhibitor List and Floor Guide

Farnborough is one of the two great biennial aerospace shows, and in 2026 it is back on home soil. If you are exhibiting, walking the floor for business development, or scouting the aerospace and defence supply chain, this guide gives you the confirmed facts, points you to the full exhibitor directory, and covers how to work a five-day floor without letting leads slip.

We only state details we can confirm against the official source. Anything not yet published, we leave out and point you to the organiser.

Farnborough 2026 at a glance

The show combines a large-scale exhibition with an agenda-setting conference programme and the flying displays Farnborough is known for. The early days are focused on trade, with the public day aimed at families, students and aviation enthusiasts.

How to use the exhibitor directory

Farnborough draws a large international exhibitor base across commercial aircraft, engines and propulsion, defence, space, MRO, sustainable aviation and a growing advanced air mobility presence. That is a lot of ground to cover in five days, and a printed floor plan will only get you so far.

Rather than restate a list of hundreds of companies here, we keep a searchable directory you can filter and plan from. Use the Farnborough International Airshow 2026 directory to browse exhibitors, and check the wider shows directory if you are planning your season across more than one event.

A sensible way to work it:

• Filter to your target categories first. Do not try to see everyone. Build a shortlist of the primes, suppliers or buyers that match what you sell or source.
• Group by hall or zone. Cluster your shortlist geographically so you are not crossing the site four times a day.
• Flag your must-see stands. Mark the handful of conversations that would make the trip worthwhile on their own, and protect time for them.

Planning a five-day floor day

Farnborough is big, and the trade days move fast. A little planning turns a chaotic week into a productive one.

• Book the key conversations ahead. The people you most want to see are the busiest. Where you can, line up meetings before you arrive rather than hoping to catch them.
• Leave slack for the unplanned. Some of the best conversations at a show like this are the ones you did not plan. Do not schedule yourself wall to wall.
• Plan your feet. Comfortable shoes, a water bottle, and a route. Five days on a hard floor is a marathon, not a sprint.
• Have a capture plan. Decide before you walk in how you are going to log every worthwhile conversation, because you will not remember them all by Friday.

Capturing leads on a floor this size

Over five days you could have dozens of conversations across a sprawling site. The ones you cannot reconstruct afterwards are the ones you lose. That is a capture problem, not a memory problem.

The fix is to log each lead the moment it happens, with enough context to reopen the conversation later. On a floor with patchy signal and no time to type, the fastest ways are voice and camera: dictate a quick note as someone walks off, or snap their card and move on. Beagle does exactly that, works offline across the whole site, and hands you a ranked follow-up list when the show ends, so a busy week turns into a clear list of who to chase first. You can try it free before the show and walk in with your capture sorted.
