Farnborough International Airshow 2026 – Preview - Royal Aeronautical Society

Farnborough International Airshow 2026 runs 20–26 July (trade days 20–24, public days 25–26), currently in progress as of today (23 July). EGLF (Farnborough Airport) is the dedicated airshow gateway and is operating under strict slot control with show organizer-managed PPR. Ramp space is fully allocated to static display aircraft, chalets, and VIP transports—late arrivals will be denied. EGLL (Heathrow), EGKK (Gatwick), EGJJ (Jersey), and EGSS (Stansted) serve as overflow with coach/helicopter transfers. Helicopter shuttles from EGLF to London pads (Battersea/Redhill) are heavily in demand during trade days. Fuel uplift at EGLF is restricted during show hours; coordinate with Gama Aviation or Inflite handling well in advance. NOTAM restrictions govern airspace around EGLF during flying displays. Demand is peaking now through 26 July; any operator not already confirmed should expect denial. Post-show departure rush on 26–27 July will stress all London-area airports.
