2024 Farnborough International Airshow gets underway

Global aviation's biggest players gathered at the Farnborough International Airshow on Monday.

Some 75,000 visitors and 1,200 exhibitors are expected to attend the five-day event southwest of London at an airport that is usually used by private jets. Held every two years, Farnborough is one of the industry's biggest shows alongside Dubai and Paris, a chance for companies to show off their latest defense hardware or lower-emissions aircraft.
