Abu Dhabi unveils new initiative for international aviation gateway
DUBAI -- Abu Dhabi is launching a unique international procurement event as part of its master plan to establish the UAE capital as one of the world's most sophisticated aviation gateways.Taking place from March 19-21 next year, the Aviation Procurement Expo (APEX) is an important new initiative to assist the ambitious expansion plans of Etihad Airways, create a world-class international airport in Abu Dhabi and reinforce the emirate's position as a major aircraft maintenance and repair hub.
It will bring together aviation industry officials, engineers and procurement specialists with the world's leading aviation suppliers for whom there are opportunities to capitalise on developments planned by the three major aviation players in Abu Dhabi.
Etihad, one of the world's fastest growing airlines with a current $8 billion order for 29 new aircraft, has far-reaching plans to expand its international route network. Passenger levels are expected to grow by 150 per cent from 1.2 million in 2005 to 3 million by the end of this year, with equally strong cargo growth. Etihad's expansion is being matched by a $6.8 billion airport expansion and redevelopment project recently launched by the newly formed Abu Dhabi Airports Company (ADAC).
"The event will allow Etihad, ADAC and Gamco to view, test and procure a wide range of new products, services and technologies right at their doorstep. It will also enable them to develop a shortlist of pre-qualified suppliers for their procurement requirements in the future."
