The 54th edition of Le Bourget (19-25 June), the largest trade fair dedicated to aeronautics and space, has just ended in Paris. Paris Air Show, the official name of this biannual exhibition, which has not been held since 2019 due to the pandemic, brings together the most important of the sector.
Its figures are high: 2,453 exhibitors from 49 countries, 157 aircraft on display, nearly 139,840 professionals from over 185 countries who together with visitors have passed through the fair 316,470 people , in 124,000 m2 of exhibition. These data give an idea of the magnitude of this show, one of the largest in the aviation and space industry.
Aernnova had a spectacular stand that served as a meeting place.
Thirty-five people from commercial-programs, supply chain, technology, engineering, quality, M&A and institutional relations departments, as well as our CEO Ricardo Chocarro, attended the event. Business opportunities, the latest developments in the sector, meetings with suppliers and institutional visits filled the agendas.
Paris Air Show is an intense fair where news of the sector are released, about 1,300 aircraft sold and Airbus announcements of sale of commercial aircraft, a total of 846 aircraft, have dominated the headlines of the Fair. The star country of this edition has been India with the largest order from the company India Air India of 540 aircraft, along with 500 from Indi Go.
Within the framework of the Fair, Boom Supersonic announced Aernnova as wing supplier for the OVERTURE model. Javier Pérez Alcaide our EVP Commercial & Programs, gave a few words at the press conference presentation that was attended by Phil Condit, a Boeing institution, along with Boom CEO, Blake Scholl.
In addition, a representation of Aernnova’s technology was shown in Hall 3 by the American company Albany International, where the full composites Advanced Rear Fuselage demonstrator of the Clean Sky 2 LPA WP12 project led by Airbus was exhibited.
Another mandatory visit in the Fair was Hall 5, where some examples of the New Urban Air Mobility were presented, interesting to see and enter the Lilium prototype.
Last fair for Fernando Cubero, he will stop suffering and sweating on the train, the shuttles and endure the queues and walks.
I would like to thank all of you who have participated in the organization and supported the attention at the stand.
