I was delighted to attend last week's Farnborough International Airshow to engage with the representatives of leading aerospace companies and to promote the Polish aerospace and aviation sector. Thousands of exhibitors and guests descended on the halls and surrounding grounds of the Farnborough airport (these days servicing business aviation) for five days of exchanges, networking and measuring the pulse of this critically important industry in these uncertain, turbulent times. In particular, I had the honour to inaugurate an event showcasing the Polish Aviation Valley - Aviation Valley | Dolina Lotnicza - a cluster of aviation companies both small and large, now in the third decade of development. In my opening remarks I said: "→ The Polish aviation industry spans well over 80 years of scientific and engineering work, centred in Poland’s south-east regions. Cities like Świdnik or Mielec are the cradles of Polish aviation and innovation. Last year, the Polish Aviation Valley, with Rzeszów as its centre, celebrated 20 years since its inception. → The region has since become a crucible of various undertakings involving international business partners. It was not a lucky coincidence, but rather a matter of a conscious choice. The Aviation Valley owes its remarkable success to the combination of factors: highly skilled engineering staff, a deep pool of talent attracted by leading academic and scientific institutions, as well as a pro-business mindset of local authorities. → As a result, today the Aviation Valley is an indispensable part of not just local, but national economy. It contributes to Poland’s image as a country of innovation and engineering prowess, on par with similar clusters around the globe." These words of praise are well deserved! I am grateful to the hosts Aviation Valley | Dolina Lotnicza and Farnborough Aerospace Consortium, as well as Polish Investment and Trade Agency (PAIH) London Office for the opportunity to represent Embassy of the Republic of Poland in London at this important event. Special thanks go out to Rafal Owczarek and Karol Cienkus, Ph.D. I will finish on a more personal note: it was great fun to once again, albeit for just one day, to become part of the global community of aviation and aerospace professionals. Indeed, aviation sector was one of my specialties when working for the U.S. Commercial Service some ten years ago (a big shout out to Brenda VanHorn, my boss at that time!). This experience really helped to keep up with the industry representatives as they presented their products and solutions!

Aviation-Event had an opportunity to meet Andreas W. Schulz , and discuss about "Current crisis situation at Hamburg airport in regard to the cost factors" during Abend der Luftfahrt”, or “Evening of Aviation” organized by BDL German Aviation Association. He quotes "Hamburg Airport, like other airports, has come under scrutiny from airlines. Both airports and airlines in Germany face high operational costs compared to other European countries. Even a moderate fee increase of €2.30 per passenger, such as the one in Hamburg, can significantly impact airlines, which often operate on very thin profit margins. This situation highlights the financial pressures within the aviation industry, where even small cost changes can have substantial effects on profitability” #AviationEvent #aviationindustry #europe #Frankfurt #Germany #europeanaviation #Aviation #Business #Event #Infrastructure #aviationbusiness #Conference #Networking #Luftfahrtbewegt #abendderluftfahrt Marcel Riwalsky Siddhanth Sukumaran Anna Jordy Katharina Vasilyeva BDL – German Aviation Association andreas w. schulz

This impressive figure underlines the event’s status as the pinnacle of the global aviation industry and highlights the resilience and innovation of the UK aviation sector. Of the deals concluded, 163 firm aircraft orders, worth £4.6 billion, stood out for the UK. These significant orders are testament to the strong demand and confidence in British aviation capabilities. In addition to the aircraft orders, the deals also included 28 firm engine orders, boosting the overall value of the transactions. Today’s agreements included 114 aircraft and optional engine commitments, as well as various service agreements, indicating a strong pipeline of future business. The figures have been published by the ADS Group, a trade association representing the UK’s aerospace, defence, security and space sectors, and organisers of the Farnborough International Airshow.

Aviation continues – as ever – to face multiple challenges. Supply chains are stretched and new aircraft are in short supply. There are skilled labour shortages and questions about how attractive an aviation career is these days. Geopolitical events are having direct and knock-on impacts on many aspects of aviation. At the same time, aviation has been working hard to make multiple improvements in environmental performance while governments and regulators increase pressure on the industry. I look forward to discussing how we meet all these challenges with great panellists in two sessions at Routes Europe in Aarhus. Please join me, Montserrat Barriga Andrés, David Surley and Dr. Henri-Charles Ozarovsky on Monday 22 April for Navigating Challenges: confronting supply chain woes, geopolitical turbulence and labour shortages. Or come to Navigating the skies: Governmental pressure on European aviation on Tuesday 23 April when I’ll be joined again by Dr. Henri-Charles Ozarovsky as well as Mads Brandstrup Nielsen and Miguel Oliver Come and take part in the discussion!
