June 2017 – Meetings and exhibitions

“This 52 nd Paris – Le Bourget Air Show was a remarkable success with a record number of exhibitors and 150 billion dollars’ worth of orders announced, despite the slight drop in the number of visitors. The impressive demonstration flights of Dassault Aviation’s Rafale, by a French Air Force pilot, of Dassault Aviation’s Falcon 8X, the presentations of the A380 by the French aerobatic demonstration team, the Patrouille de France, the Airbus A350-1000 and A400M, and other aircraft delighted the French President as well as the public from the first to the last day of the show” declared Emeric d’Arcimoles, the Paris Air Show’s Chairman and CEO.

“The Careers Plane exhibition which has now amalgamated with GIFAS’ Job-Training Forum, enabled 55 000 mainly young visitors to discover forty or so aeronautics and space sector careers through French aerospace group employees. There are immediate recruitment needs for these jobs. Paris Air Lab, the new attraction that puts the spotlight on the research and innovation efforts of the major groups and institutions such as start-ups, attracted 50 000 visitors” he added.
