FIA 2014 sales already exceeding targets
Airshow Organisers, Farnborough International Ltd (FIL) has confirmed that combined sales of exhibition and chalet space for the Farnborough International Airshow 2014 have reached unprecedented levels with around 40% of total space already sold. To date, 38% of its shell schemes stands, 35% of its self-build
stand space and 56% of outdoor space have been booked for the show which will take place from 14-25 July 2014. Just seven months since the close of the 2012 event, the impressive sales are due to many companies taking advantage of the organiser’s ‘Early Bird’ deal offering exhibitors a saving of 4% on the advertised rates. While the offer has provided a great incentive to book early, with the closing date not until the end of June, the volume of repeat customers is exceptional. Speaking about the positive sales, FIL commercial director, Amanda Stainer said: “While orders and commitments may have totalled US$72 billion at FIA2012, the true value far exceeds this as it moves across the supply chain. The early commitment from our exhibitors further reflects the show’s value. The early booking offer is open until 28th June 2013, so there is still plenty of time for companies who have not yet
booked to take advantage of this incentive.”
