As the largest and longest-running aerospace trade show in the world, the Show has been at the center of developments in the global aerospace market since the show’s inception in 1909. Among the more notable events relating to the show throughout its history:

  • In 1927, Charles Lindbergh had landed at Le Bourget airport following the first non-stop flight between New York and Paris. This made Le Bourget the best-known aviation platform in the world, and particularly in the United States.
  • In 1969, the Concorde, the world’s first supersonic commercial aircraft, and the Boeing 747 jumbo jet were on display at the Show.

Today, the full scope of the International Paris Air Show includes a diverse range of industries relating to and involved with aerospace including:

  • Aircraft: construction, assembly, and sub-assemblies
  • Space, spacecraft, satellite telecommunications
