Showcasing the strategic and economic importance of the country and wider region for business aviation, the Paris Air Show gets underway today and runs until June 22.   Officially named the Salon International de l’Aéronautique et de l’Espace, the airshow is held every two years at Le Bourget Airport (LFPB) and attracts over 300,000 visitors over seven days.   It will see thousands of OEMs, FBOs, MROs, industry associations and operators exhibit, make connections, and create partnerships, as well as feature developments in SAF, electric and hybrid aircraft systems, and AI.   Operators should be aware that restrictions apply for the duration of the show.
