What is SIAE?
The Paris-Le Bourget International Airshow (SIAE) is one of the most important international events in the aerospace sector. The trade fair is based at the airport of the same name near Paris and is organized every two years. It occurs in odd years and alternates with the Farnborough Airshow in England which takes place in even years.
There is also a competing exhibition specifically dedicated to helicopters held every year in the United States of America, but which is not linked to a particular city. For example next year will held in Seattle.
The show aims to present space, military and civil aeronautical products to potential buyers. All the main manufacturers as well as the armed forces of many countries participate in the fair.
The exhibition includes days reserved for professionals in the sector and during the week-end it is open to the public, which comes from the Paris area and beyond. Aircraft manufacturers often present their latest models and perform spectacular demonstrations in flight.
