Accreditation

All members of the media including technical support must be accredited in order to attend the Farnborough International Airshow (FIA) free of charge and to access the onsite Media Centre during the show.

The media accreditation application process for FIA 2014 will open in February 2014.

There are three methods by which to apply for media accreditation:

1. ‘Fast Track’ Advance Applications (FIA 2012 accredited media only).

All media who were accredited at FIA 2012 will be eligible to apply for accreditation in advance via the Fast-Track application system from February 2014. Please note however that this does not guarantee a media pass for FIA 2014 and proof of recent work and proof of employment will be required with all Fast Track applications.

FIA 2012 accredited media will be sent an email containing a link to an application form that has been pre-populated with the details they submitted in 2012. Applicants will be required to update these details and upload proof of recently published work and proof of employment in a news gathering capacity for the Airshow. Once the application has been submitted it will enter our system for processing. Successful applicants will be notified by email and media passes will be mailed. Please note the following cut-off dates for media pass mail out:

Non-UK Media – Friday 13 June 2014
UK Media – Friday 27 June 2014

Once these dates have passed, successful applicants will instead be sent a confirmation code via email which they will be required to present at the gate upon arrival at the show in order to collect their media pass.

The deadline for Fast Track applications is Friday 27 June 2014.

2. Online Advance Applications (Media who did not attend FIA 2012).

Alll media that did not attend FIA 2012 can apply for advance accreditation for FIA 2014 from February 2014 by completing the online form. Advance applications will continue to be received until Friday 27 June 2014.

An individual submission and photograph will be required for each media representative, including camera/production crew. Supporting documentation by means of proof of employment in a news gathering capacity and proof of recently published work will also be required for each submission.

Please note that media accreditation will only be granted to active members of the media attending the show in a news gathering capacity. Please note also that media accreditation will only be given to photographers commissioned by a news gathering agency. Advertising, marketing and sales personnel are not eligible for Media Passes.

To apply for advance media accreditation for FIA 2014 online, you will be required to submit the following:

• Personal details
• Supporting documentation by means of uploadable or web based proof of employment for the show.
• Supporting documentation by means of uploadable or web-based proof of work published since July 2012.
• An active email address to activate your media pass.
• A full colour, digital headshot photograph which should be 300 dpi, no smaller than passport sized with a maximum file size of 2MB.

Successful applicants will be notified via email and their media pass mailed to them. Please note the following cut-off dates for media pass mail out:

Non-UK Media – Friday 13 June 2014
UK Media – Friday 27 June 2014

Once these dates have passed, successful applicants will instead be sent a confirmation code via email which they will be required to present at the gate upon arrival at the show in order to collect their media pass.

THE APPLICATION PROCESS FOR ADVANCE MEDIA ACCREDITATION will open in February 2014

3. On-the-day Applications.

There will be a limited facility for issuing media passes from the onsite Media Centre during the show itself from 14-20 July 2014. Please note however that in order to access the show site upon arrival without a media pass, you will be required to purchase a Trade Visitor Pass which is non-refundable, even if a media pass is obtained thereafter.

Any media who have purchased a Trade Visitor Pass that wish to attend subsequent days of the show without charge will be required to visit the Media Centre once onsite to apply for a media pass. There will be no ‘Fast Track’ accreditation on-the-day and the criteria detailed in Section 2 will apply to all. Supporting documentation must be presented in hard-copy at the accreditation desk.

The on-the-day accreditation process may be subject to some delays due to the busy nature of the Media Centre. We would therefore strongly recommend that media who wish to attend the show apply for accreditation in advance.
