The 2009 Asian Aerospace show in Hong Kong is set to achieve significant growth in visitor numbers with organizers reporting that pre-registrations are more than 100 percent up on the same period ahead of the inaugural show in 2007. As of this week, just over 2,250 trade visitors had registered for the September 7 to 10 event and Reed Exhibitions aims to draw more than 10,000 for the strictly business-to-business show, including 3,000 from China alone.
One new feature of Asian Aerospace will be the Asian Business Aviation show that will form part of the wider event through a recent agreement between Reed and the Asian Business Aviation Association. There are already nine business aircraft registered for display at the show and this number is expected to rise to at least 15. Dassault, Embraer and online executive charter booking service have already committed as participants.
