BMW i7 goes front and centre at Farnborough
Farnborough airport and BMW UK have launched a brand partnership that will add a touch of sophistication to the customer journey from arrival to departure, chauffeuring passengers in the first all-electric 7 series BMW.
The all-electric BMW i7 will be available for ground transfers at Farnborough.

As part of Farnborough Airport's Brand Partnership Programme, it has partnered with BMW UK to have three BMW all-electric i7 cars chauffeur guests to and from their aircraft for a four week period. The BMW i7 will also take centre stage on approach to the airport terminal in a unique display.

CEO Simon Geere says: "We are delighted to be partnering with BMW to elevate the travel experience at Farnborough Airport. The collaboration with BMW and the showcase of its all-electric i7 not only reflects our dedication to providing a unique guest experience, but it also highlights our commitment to innovation."

James Morrison, head of business development at BMW, adds: "A game changer in its own right, the BMW i7 is the first fully electric BMW 7 Series, and it combines electric driving with a new luxurious interior. It also features an industry-first ultra-wide 32:9 8K rear-passenger theatre screen, and we can't wait to hear feedback from Farnborough Airport passengers in coming weeks."
