The Farnborough International Airshow, is also set to host its largest Barrie Wells Trust’s Box4Kids charity event on July 26, 2024, during its Pioneers of Tomorrow day.

This year, the event will welcome over 200 guests and 30 volunteers from the charity, with Farnborough International and its partners offering unique experiences for seriously ill and disabled children and their families. Participating aerospace industry leaders, including Accenture, Embraer, Deutsche, Honeywell, Kallman, ATI, AIA, and Boeing, will provide exclusive chalets, aircraft tours, and opportunities to meet pilots, enhancing the immersive experience for attendees.

Barrie Wells, founder of the Barrie Wells Trust and Box4Kids, expressed his enthusiasm, commenting: “Farnborough International Airshow is a fantastic event, and we are thrilled for Box4Kids to return for the fourth time this summer. The private tours of the American planes and meeting pilots are just some of the additional highlights the Airshow are able to help us create, and I am certain this year will be another incredible event.”

Joe Muir, Commercial Aerospace Director at Farnborough International, highlighted the ongoing support for the charity, explaining: “Farnborough International Airshow has been a proud host of Box4Kids since 2016, and we value the opportunity to support the charity and our exhibitors in providing experiences that are cherished by the guests. Supporting the next generation is a key focus for us and we look forward to hosting the families at our Pioneers of Tomorrow day at the airshow.”
