“The 2010 Farnborough International Airshow has been very successful and the figures demonstrate the mood of strong optimism that there has been around the show this year, which is very encouraging given the current global economic climate. To see over $47 billion dollars worth of business done and the quality of the business transactions at the show is a testament to the endurance of our sectors, their positive contribution to UK and world trade as well as the significance of the show itself’, Ian Godden, Chairman of A|D|S. “We thank all our guests at this year’s show for attending and contributing to a successful Airshow. We hope very much to see them again in 2012. The FIL team has done a marvelous job and they deserve both my thanks and the thanks of our guests this week for ensuring such a smooth-running event. We’re looking forward to welcoming around 3,000 young people today, Futures Day, plus an expected 160,000 people for the public weekend to round off what has been a tremendous week at Farnborough”, said Shaun Ormrod, Chief Executive of FIL. |
