FIRST-EVER AEROSPACE & DEFENCE TRAINING SHOW 2010 TO INSPIRE AVIATION PROFESSIONALS OF THE FUTURE

In a first for the Middle East, F&E Aerospace will launch the Aerospace & Defence Training Show (ADTS), from 3 to 4 March 2010, in association with Halldale Media, specialists in simulation and training information.

The inaugural ADTS at Airport Expo in Dubai will be the one-stop solution to the growing demand across the Middle East for civil and military aerospace training, recruitment and simulation.

Alison Weller, Director of organiser F&E Aerospace, said: “As the aviation industry recovers from the economic downturn and airlines prepare to raise their staffing levels to meet demand, training and development specialists within the industry will be looking to equip their teams with the necessary skills to enlarge their pool of professionals.

“Similarly, with current predictions of increased defence spending across the Middle East, a good proportion of funds will be earmarked for military training systems and equipment. I am confident that the Aerospace and Defence Training Show in March will be a welcome platform from which aviation training institutes, airlines and aircraft manufacturers can attract and inspire aviation professionals of the future.”

ADTS comprises an exhibition and two simultaneous conferences; the civil airline training conference will be led by Halldale’s CAT magazine; the other, on defence training, will be led by its MS&T magazine.

Delivering the keynote speech on the first day of the civil conference, entitled ‘Training for the 21st Century’ will be Martin Mahoney, SVP Flight Training at Emirates Aviation College in Dubai. Also speaking are Mohammed Ahmed from Air Arabia and Rick James of Abu Dhabi-based Etihad Airways.

The defence training conference will be held under the auspices of the UAE Ministry of Defence and a team of Middle East military speakers and international industry specialists will present on key topics.

The supporting exhibition will feature companies offering the most up-to-date training courses and simulation equipment and programmes, in addition to recruitment agencies, vocational and academic institutes and universities.

ADTS aims to attract visitors from regional airlines, airports and air forces, as well as professionals in HR and training & development, students, trainees and apprentices.
