We are currently at the halfway point of the Farnborough International Airshow, and we have had the honour of engaging with great aviation sector leaders to discuss their sustainability roadmap and how a behavioural science solution can further contribute to emissions reductions and closing the gap in the pursuit of net zero. For those considering visiting the show later in the week, we extend a warm invitation to meet our team at the Signol booth in Hall 3, Area 3100, situated within the Aerospace Xelerated Innovation area until Friday. Our Head of Aviation, Phil Tanthatsawat, actively participated in yesterday's well-received 'Sustainability in Aerospace & Innovation' panel moderated by Matt Briggs. Today, he had the privilege of introducing the audience to the impactful role of positive and effective pilot engagement in driving fuel efficiency. Your presence would be most welcomed - come meet our team in Hall 3.

What a second day at Farnborough International Air Show! Aerospace Xelerated Innovation Zone was buzzing today with multiple presentations and panel discussions. The day started with my presentation titled "Reshoring Aerospace Parts Cost Effectively". If you are interested in this presentation, leave a comment and I will send it to you. We also had a catch up with colleagues at Alp Havacılık, namely Senay Idil, Mehmet Serkan Erten and Ahmet Cihan Albayrak. The day also had nice surprises. I met with my 3 classmates from the graduating class of 2003 from Mechanical Engineering Department of Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi / Middle East Technical University after a long time. Anil Mertol, Tuna KIRGIZ, Ahmet Ozsahin. Caner Songuler from 2004 class was also there:)

Day II of the Farnborough International airshow complete. The evening was rounded off with an amazing event at the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office in london. Thanks to the team Department for Business and Trade Thanks to Tiffany Burrows Glen McMahon. Joined by the one and only Nichola Bates from Aerospace Xelerated and her colleagues from Boeing. Prime Minister Keir Starmer commits to supporting and investing in the continuous development and innovation across the UK's Aerospace and Defence sector. Its clear Northern Ireland is punching above its weight. Emma Little-Pengelly BL MLA spoke with passion and clarity on the benefits of working with such a passionate and innovative culture. Without the support of Metta and the entire team at Aerospace Xelerated, start-up's like ubloquity and our cohort of innovators would not have the opportunity to showcase our solutions at such a prestigious event.
