context_page_description: The Paris Air Show is the largest air show and aerospace-industry exhibition event in the world, measured by number of exhibitors and size of exhibit space. In second place is UK's Farnborough, followed by Dubai Air Show or Singapore Airshow.
  The latest was the 53rd Air Show which was held from 17 to 23 June 2019 with 2,453 exhibitors from 49 countries over 125,000 m2
  It claims to be the world's calendar-oldest air show.
  Established in 1909, it has been held every odd year since 1949 at Paris–Le Bourget Airport in north Paris, France.
  It is a large trade fair, demonstrating military and civilian aircraft, and is attended by many military forces and the major aircraft manufacturers, often announcing major aircraft sales.
  It starts with four professional days and is then opened to the general public followed from Friday to Sunday.
  The format is similar to Farnborough and the ILA, both staged in even years.
  It is organised by the French aerospace industry's primary representative body, the Groupement des industries françaises aéronautiques et spatiales.
