Location
Farnborough, Hampshire, United Kingdom
Farnborough Airport is a major business aviation hub located in Hampshire, England, approximately 35 miles southwest of London. It serves exclusively general and business aviation traffic, handling private jets, corporate aircraft, and charter flights rather than scheduled commercial airline services. The airport is best known as the home of the biennial Farnborough International Airshow, one of the world's largest and most prestigious aerospace trade exhibitions, which has been held at the site since the mid-20th century. The airshow attracts aviation manufacturers, airlines, and defence organisations from around the globe. Owned and operated by Farnborough Airport Limited, a subsidiary of TAG Aviation, the airport has undergone significant investment to position itself as a luxury gateway for high-net-worth individuals and corporate travellers seeking alternatives to the congested London terminals.
