Flying private to Farnborough International Airshow

The Farnborough International Airshow is held at Farnborough Airport itself, a business-aviation-only airport southwest of London, in even-numbered years. During the show the airport is shaped around the exhibition and flying display, so normal private operations are restricted.

Most visitors fly into Luton, Biggin Hill or Blackbushe and drive the last stretch, or arrive by helicopter. The trade days, early in the week, are the busiest for business travellers.

Business jets seen on the ground at FAB and BBS each day, from public ADS-B signals. A jet counts once per airport per day, so one that stays three days counts on each. Jets that do not broadcast a position are missed, so real numbers are higher. Anonymous: no registration, owner or flight is stored. Today is the count so far.
