Formula One racing star Lewis Hamilton says that saving time on his busy travel itinerary is a big priority.

Close to $40 billion worth of business was announced by the close of July's Farnborough international show. Some 1,480 exhibitors from 35 countries took part, according to Trevor Sidebottom, md of organisers Farnborough International. New products on display included business jets and the Airbus A380.

Around 30 business aircraft are expected to be displayed at this year's Farnborough International Air Show, which takes place from July 17 to 23. The Business Aircraft Park dedicated display area has encour-aged more aircraft manufacturers to bring their aircraft to Farnborough. Others, including Cessna, who return to Farnborough after a prolonged absence, have elected to locate in the main display area.
