Farnborough Airshow opens
Airlines and aircraft manufacturers will be attempting to sound upbeat against economic gloom and record fuel prices at this week’s Farnborough International Airshow.
The event, which takes place every two years, is a showcase for new models, technology and a platform for the announcement of aircraft orders.
Middle East carriers are expected to be centre stage with airlines such as Etihad due to be making major announcements.
The giant Airbus A380 will be among the main attractions at as the show marks its 60th anniversary with more than 1,500 exhibitors.
Air India is displaying its latest long range Boeing 777-300ER with a new livery, interior and passenger amenities.
The aircraft flew in to the Hampshire airfield on Saturday in advance of today’s show opening.
