Precursor To Asian Business Aviation Conference And Exhibit

The NBAA will showcase business aviation products, services and aircraft at Hong Kong Business Aviation Center on Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) this Thursday and Friday, July 15 and 16. This Business Aviation Regional Forum is planned as a pre-cursor to NBAA's Asian Business Aviation Conference & Exhibition (ABACE), which will debut next summer in Shanghai.

Globally, tens of thousands of companies, governments and organizations already use business aircraft daily to dramatically increase employee productivity, secure competitive advantages and induce operational efficiency. With more than 3.5 billion people, a surging economy and a burgeoning transportation infrastructure, the Asian business aviation community is growing. NBAA has created ABACE to focus solely on business aviation in Asia, an emerging market with great potential for business aircraft and related products and services. Founded in 1947, NBAA is the world's leading advocate for business aviation.

NBAA's ABACE Forum in Hong Kong will feature indoor exhibits, static aircraft and a Special Forum Session. It will uniquely showcase business aviation to operators, non-operators, regulators and decision-makers from Asia and companies from the United States conducting business in that region. Exhibitors for this event will include:

• Atlantic Turbines
• B/E Aerospace
• Bombardier
• Elite Traveler
• Embraer
• Flying Magazine
• Gore Design
• Gulfstream
• Hong Kong Business Aviation Center
• Metrojet Ltd.
• Satcom Direct
• Universal Weather

On July 15, the Special Forum Session titled "What Is Business Aviation?" will discuss the issues, opportunities and challenges facing business aviation in Asia. Moderated by NBAA, it will feature speakers from Air China, Emerson Electric, Home Depot, Kodak and Wal-Mart.
