Eventist Collective has been confirmed as an official approved event catering supplier for the Farnborough International Airshow 2026, marking a notable return for the experienced hospitality group at one of the aviation industry’s most prestigious global events.
With full authorisation to operate on site, the team will once again support exhibitors across the show, delivering catering services that meet the strict operational and compliance standards set by FIA. For chalet holders preparing for the 2026 edition, the appointment offers reassurance that their hospitality is being handled by a supplier already embedded in the event’s complex delivery framework.
Under the leadership of CEO Tim Stevens, Eventist Collective has steadily built a reputation within the live events and aviation sectors for delivering reliable, high-quality catering in demanding environments. Its portfolio includes major international airshows such as RIAT, the Singapore Airshow, the International Paris Airshow, and previous editions of the Farnborough International Airshow.
Catering That Supports Exhibitor Objectives
At Farnborough International Airshow 2026, catering plays a critical role in how exhibitors engage clients, partners, and stakeholders. Eventist Collective’s approach centres on flexibility, offering tailored hospitality solutions designed to align with each exhibitor’s objectives rather than a one-size-fits-all package.
From all-day hospitality and working lunches to plated dining, buffets, and VIP receptions, menus and service styles are developed around the audience, schedule, and stand layout. With Farnborough International Airshow attracting a truly international visitor base, the team’s experience catering for diverse tastes and dietary requirements is a key advantage.
The Value of FIA Approval On Site
Operating as an approved Farnborough International Airshow catering provider brings practical benefits beyond compliance alone. Familiarity with the site, established working relationships with organisers, and a clear understanding of logistics and delivery protocols all contribute to smoother operations during the show.
For exhibitors, this translates into fewer operational risks and greater confidence that hospitality will run seamlessly, even within the tight schedules and high-security environment that define Farnborough International Airshow.
A Collective of Specialist Catering Brands
Eventist Collective operates through four specialist brands – AP&Co, FoodbyDish, Tapenade, and Zafferano – allowing it to match different culinary styles and service formats to individual briefs. This structure enables a more considered approach to menu design and service delivery, ensuring each chalet’s hospitality feels distinct while remaining operationally efficient.
Each exhibitor is supported by a dedicated account manager, overseeing the process from initial planning through to on-site delivery. Liaison with organisers and contractors is handled centrally, freeing exhibitors to focus on hosting and relationship-building during the event itself.
As preparations continue for Farnborough International Airshow 2026, Eventist Collective’s confirmed role reinforces its standing as a trusted supplier within the airshow circuit. With a strong track record, FIA approval, and a depth of experience across international aviation events, the group is set to play a key role in shaping the hospitality experience at the show.
