A delegation of the Bahrain International Air Show (BIAS) Supreme Organising Committee headed by the Minister of Transportation and Telecommunications Kamal bin Ahmed Mohammed attended the 51st edition of the International Paris Air Show at the Le Bourget Parc des Expositions, France.
Speaking about the event, the Minister said that the BIAS Committee was focused on showcasing the BIAS at major international events to attract the largest global companies in the aerospace industry to participate in the 4th edition of BIAS to be held from January 21 to 23, 2016 at Sakhir Air Base.
On the sidelines of the show, the Minister met with 16 international companies with the aim of increasing cooperation, exploring business opportunities and encouraging participation at the upcoming BIAS.
The BIAS organisers also announced a number of new initiatives for the show, including a hosted buyer programme and “The Air Transport in the 21st Century Conference”, which will be held on day two and three of the show. The “Manama Air Power Symposium” will also be held before the start of the show to discuss the leading issues of the day.
Minister Kamal bin Ahmed said, “We are always looking for more networking and business opportunities for participants at the show. The ‘Air Transport in the 21st Century’ conference will provide a real forum for debate while the hosted buyer programme will provide a great opportunity for direct face-to-face contact with key decision makers in the aviation industry.
“We are confident that we can continue to build on our successful track record, and with the addition of these new activities and events, we will enable the participants to have even more networking opportunities,” he added.
The 2016 edition will include an exhibition feature hall focused on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and airport infrastructure.
