Trappier Steps In as New Gifas President
Trappier does not see weakness in industry going forward.

Eric Trappier—the newly elected president of the Groupement des Industries Françaises Aéronautiques et Spatiales (Gifas), which organizes the Paris Air Show—told journalists that he was "satisfied with the first two days" of the show. "The new Président de la République, Emmanuel Macron, spent more than five hours visiting the airshow. For us, it’s the best acknowledgment of our profession," said Trappier, who is also president and CEO of Dassault Aviation. Macron met representatives of the American Aerospace Industries Association (AIA), which is the U.S. equivalent of Gifas.
