Premier Aviation Maintenance Event to be Hosted in Beijing: AVIATION WEEK's MRO Asia 2011

NEW YORK, July 19 /PRNewswire/ -- AVIATION WEEK, the largest multimedia information and services provider to the global aerospace and defense (A&D) industries, together with its longstanding Chinese partner, International Aviation Group, the largest independent aviation media group in China, and China Aviation News (CAN), one of the leading aviation business newspapers in China, will bring its MRO Asia 2011 Conference and Exhibition to Beijing, China in October 2011 as part of its long-term commitment to host the event regularly on the mainland. AVIATION WEEK, International Aviation Group and CAN are partnering to host this world-class event in China every two years.

Asia's airline and aftermarket industries are the fastest growing in the world, and China's MRO industry is the largest and fastest-growing in the Asia-Pacific region, which positions Beijing as the perfect site for the leading MRO conference and tradeshow in the Asia-Pacific region. Each year, AVIATION WEEK's MRO Asia attracts more than 2,000 airline and government officials and maintenance and safety experts from around the world, representing all major Asian airlines and many others from the Middle East, Africa, Europe and the United States.

"Our MRO Asia series is firmly established as the high-quality venue to exchange both global best practices and business cards. Nowhere else can you find the high-level networking opportunities available to executives from global airlines, OEMs, suppliers and third-party maintenance providers," said Greg Hamilton, AVIATION WEEK's Publisher of Strategic Media and Events. "Partnerships make it happen, and our long-term relationships with International Aviation and CAN provide the local leadership and know-how needed to guarantee a successful business exchange for all participants at our Chinese events." 

AVIATION WEEK and International Aviation, which have partnered for 22 years to produce Chinese-language International Aviation magazine, Beijing and Zhuhai ShowNews, and related websites, have co-hosted three MRO Asia events in China since launching the series in Hong Kong in 2001. Now joined by CAN for the 2011 event, these organizations' combined efforts consistently result in a successful partnership, providing customers with global perspectives through authoritative, in-depth news and analysis and prestigious events featuring management-level discussions and sold-out exhibition halls.

Every other year, MRO Asia will be held in Singapore, an established hub of MRO activity for the Asia-Pacific region. MRO Asia 2010 will be held November 2-4, 2010 at the Suntec Singapore International Convention & Exhibition Centre.
