The Paris Air Show is the world’s oldest and one of the most influential aerospace exhibitions, held every two years at Le Bourget Airport near Paris, France. First organised in 1909, it serves as a global showcase for civil and military aviation, where manufacturers unveil new aircraft, demonstrate technologies, and secure major procurement deals. The show combines a trade exhibition with flight demonstrations and has historically been the venue where numerous landmark aircraft—both commercial airliners and military fighters—have been publicly introduced to the world. It is widely regarded as one of the premier events in the global aerospace industry.
