Aerospace leaders are gathering at the Farnborough Airshow in southern England amid mounting geopolitical tensions and ongoing supply chain challenges. Among the event's key highlights is a UK-led initiative promoting green jet fuel, which experts believe needs global adoption to truly revolutionize cleaner flying.
Defense firms at the airshow remain confident in the likelihood of Western governments ramping up weaponry spending to counteract the influence of Russia and China. Furthermore, a recent U.S. move to ease restrictions on the transfer of military gear and technology with Britain and Australia is expected to strengthen the AUKUS security alliance among the three nations.
On the commercial front, the airshow witnessed a surge in plane orders despite supply chain pressures and delivery delays. Companies such as Boeing and Airbus are advancing their production strategies, while airlines like Qatar Airways and Japan Airlines finalized major aircraft purchases.
