Twinned shows go annual and dates set for 2013

The successful co-location of the Middle East's aircraft interiors and MRO shows has led to both shows now running together on an annual basis.

F&E Aerospace confirmed today that the next co-located Aircraft Interiors Middle East (AIME) and, in partnership with Aviation Week, the Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO ME) shows will be held on 22 – 23 January 2013 at DWTC – Dubai World Trade Centre.

The previous event held in February 2012 drew 200 exhibitors from 70 countries and 2,427 visitors with an increase of 33% on the 2011 show.  

Michele Van Akelijen, Aerospace Director at F&E Aerospace, said: “Both shows have grown and developed along with the current state of the aviation industry in the region. The last show was heralded a success and we have witnessed an overwhelming amount of re-bookings from companies such as UAE’s Airchem Consumables, France’s Gerflor and UK’s Botany Weaving.”

“After witnessing a sold out exhibition hall and record-breaking numbers of attendees at the last show, we are proud  to announce the dates for our fifth running MRO Middle East Conference and Exhibition, part of Aviation Week’s global series of MRO events,” said Lydia Janow, Director, Events and Tradeshows, for Aviation Week.
