Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, 2012-09-18 — /travelprnews.com/ — Following the overwhelming success of Abu Dhabi Air Expo held at Al Bateen Executive Airport in March, ADAC will be hosting the show for the second year in a row between the 5th -7th March 2013 at its business aviation airport in Abu Dhabi.
Air Expo was launched this year in Abu Dhabi, the first time it has been ever held in the Middle East. The event saw over 100 exhibitors and sponsors and displayed 70 aircraft from light jets to helicopters, attracting more than 10,000 international and local visitors. The show also hosted a series of conferences focusing on various general civil aviation topics including training, licensing, safety, and aircraft technology.
Yousif Hassan Al Hammadi, Chairman of the Organizing Committee for Abu Dhabi Air Expo, Deputy General Manager, Al Bateen Executive Airport, said:
“Abu Dhabi is witnessing significant growth in the commercial aviation industry across all sectors including general aviation, which in turn supports the Emirate’s air transport strategy in building a strong and sustainable aviation environment. ADAC is proud to contribute to this growth through its leading initiatives in the areas of infrastructure development, quality of service and marketing.”
“Abu Dhabi Air Expo is the region’s first exhibition dedicated to general civil aviation and ADAC commits today that this show will be held in Abu Dhabi once again in 2013, highlighting the capitals position as an international hub for commercial aviation experts and professionals. This commitment is part of ADAC strategy at reinforcing Abu Dhabi’s credentials as the region’s premier venue for the commercial aviation and aerospace industry” concluded Al Hammadi.
General commercial aviation refers to all flights other than military and scheduled airline and regular cargo flights, both private and commercial. Al Bateen Executive Airport is the region’s first and only dedicated private airport and it is a ‘one-stop shop’ business jet facility for VIP passengers. The airport’s recently opened FBO, DhabiJet, was ranked in first place for the award of best FBOs in the Middle East and the fourth in Asia, Africa and Europe in the prestigious European Business Air News FBO Survey 2012.
