IATA’s director general recently announced that ‘Asia and Latin America are driving the recovery’ of the aviation industry. As the market expands to meet burgeoning demand for air travel, it looks like 2010 is the year that Latin American aviation will soar to new heights.
Now in its 6th year, Euromoney Seminars’ and Airfinance Journal’s Latin America Airfinance conference is the premier Airfinance event for the region. It is the only opportunity to meet all the key players under one roof.
Attend and you will meet with CEO’s and CFO’s of major airlines, manufacturers and lessors as well as ECA representatives, key lenders, lawyers, regulators and government officials. You will network with professionals in the industry, share expert experience and gain valuable advice.
With over 150 delegates attending last year, this is the established event for anyone serious about doing business in Latin America. Save the date in your diary for this must-attend event.
