Shanghai Confab Only Asian Event To Focus On Biz Av
More than 1,600 Attendees were on
hand to celebrate the opening of the first Asian Business Aviation
Conference & Exhibition (ABACE2005) this week in Shanghai,
China. ABACE 2005 is the only major Asian event focused solely on
business aviation, with an exhibit floor at the Shanghai New
International Exhibition Center in China and an aircraft display at
nearby Hongqiao Airport.
The Opening General Session for ABACE 2005 was moderated by NBAA
President and CEO Ed Bolen. The session included remarks from Jason
Liao, president of the Asian Business Aviation Association, as well
as a representative from Shanghai Airport. Officials with the Civil
Aviation Authority of China and other local and regional government
entities also were present to discuss the importance of developing
business aviation in the Asian region.
"In both Asia and the US, business aviation has the potential to
increase economic development, make businesses more competitive and
enhance the quality of life for citizens," Bolen said. "That's why
the theme for ABACE2005 -- 'The Need Has Never Been Greater, The
Timing Has Never Been Better' -- is so appropriate for this, the
inaugural ABACE event."
ABACE2005 showcases more than 50 Exhibiting Companies from around
the world and 12 aircraft in current production from several major
business aircraft designers. The aircraft are as follows:
- Premier
- Hawker 800 XP
- G200

G550
- Challenger 604
- Lear 45
- Global Express
- Challenger 300

Informational sessions are scheduled to address the safety
culture of business aviation, business aviation security,
airspace/air traffic infrastructure, airport handling and support,
and more.
