FARNBOROUGH, United Kingdom, July 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Boeing [NYSE: BA] has tailored its presence at the 2024 Farnborough International Airshow as the company focuses on strengthening safety and quality and meeting customer commitments, while also highlighting next generation technologies and capabilities.

With these priorities in mind, we have reduced our commercial airplanes display and flight demonstrations at the show, and will focus on new technology, sustainability, security and services solutions," says Dr. Brendan Nelson AO, president of Boeing Global.
