More than 1,300 avionics manufacturers, repair stations, approved maintenance organizations and other general aviation professionals have converged at the 65th annual Aircraft Electronics Association International Convention & Trade Show, which opened today at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Louisiana. The four-day event takes place March 28-31, and it is the largest gathering of avionics manufacturers, distributors and government-certified repair stations in the world.
The event's primary focus is providing avionics professionals with educational and marketing opportunities between equipment manufacturers, distributors and government-certified repair stations.
