PARIS — Gov. Jeff Landry and Louisiana Economic Development Secretary Susan B. Bourgeois are traveling to Paris, France, to represent Louisiana at the Paris Air Show. 

As the world's largest event of its kind, the Paris Air Show has been a leading display of global aerospace innovation since it began in 1953. Delegations from around the world gather in the French capital to share the latest developments in planes, jets, spaceships and more. 

By attending, Landry aims to "strengthen economic ties, attract new investment and showcase Louisiana's growing role in global industries," a news release says.

Although it will be Landry's first Paris Air Show as governor, Louisiana has been at the event for nearly 20 years. Former Gov. John Bel Edwards also traveled to the show in 2023.

The 55th annual air show is being held from Monday through Sunday.
