BIAS 2016 launches new Civil Aviation Conference

The show - which runs from 21-23 January 2016 - will showcase aerospace companies from Civil, Defence, Business Aviation and Unmanned Aerial Systems to name but a few. In addition, the exhibition feature hall will showcase companies directly involved with Bahrain’s new Airport Expansion Programme and other exciting sectors including the latest and greatest in innovation and technology.

Whilst still offering trade visitors access to the unique networking opportunities the event provides, this year Airshow organisers have introduced a new platform to further boost the show’s potential - the Civil Aviation Conference.

Civil Aviation Conference
Taking place on day two of the show, the Conference will follow the theme of 'Air Transport in the 21st Century'. Experts from within the airline, airport & aerospace industries will form two panels, discussing key issues affecting the Middle Eastern business landscape. Panellists include representatives from Qatar Airways, Kuwait Airways, NATS, Serco, Bahrain Airport Company and Lufthansa, among many others.

IATA Standard Safety Assessment Programme (ISSA) Seminar
There is also the IATA seminar which explains all you need to know about the new safety regulation which applies to airlines, cargo operators and anyone else commercially operating aircraft under 5700 kg. This will take place on 23rd January, day three of the Airshow.
