A delegation of the UAE Ministry of Defense, headed by Major General Pilot Abdullah Al Sayyed Al Hashemi, Assistant Under-Secretary of Defense for Support Services, attended the opening of the Australian International Airshow and Aerospace & Defense Exposition 2019, which is being held in Melbourne from 26th February to 3rd March.
The delegation toured the exhibition, which includes several pavilions of countries and international companies that specialize in military aviation, where they were briefed about the latest technologies and equipment, as well as the latest developments in the international aviation industry, especially in the area of defense.
Al Hashemi highlighted the global importance of the exhibition and appreciated the invitation to attend it while praising its organization and the participation of major aviation companies, according to Emirates News Agency WAM.
According to the organizers, the Australian International Airshow and Aerospace & Defense Exposition is one of Asia-Pacific’s most prestigious aviation and aerospace events and the most comprehensive aviation, aerospace and defense exposition in the southern hemisphere.
Avalon, staged in parallel with the Airshow, hosts multiple concurrent conferences and expo streams, across the spectrum of Defense, Airlines, Business and General Aviation, Sport and Recreational Aviation, Airports, MRO, Space, Unmanned Systems, Air Safety and Ground Equipment.
Avalon supports multiple ways to engage with government, industry and defense opportunities; including indoor and outdoor exhibitions, chalets, sponsorship, and networking events.
While Australia and New Zealand prepare major Defense modernization programs, civil aerospace companies are pursuing the rapidly-growing Indo-Asia-Pacific airline and civil aerospace market, and the public will view the history as well as the margining future of air transport and air power.
The Asia Pacific region is undergoing major growth in defense and aviation, with budgets in many countries continuing to rise and an ever increasing level of sophistication in technologies, equipment, systems and operational methods.
Staged at Avalon Airport, Geelong, Victoria, AVALON 2019 will again present a unique opportunity to showcase products, technologies and services to an informed target audience and to demonstrate a marketing presence in this vibrant and vital region. High levels of economic growth and technological development have resulted in growing demand for aviation and aerospace services, products and technology, right across the spectrum from General Aviation to airlines, air forces and space.
