Following an agreement signed by Israel Aerospace Industries (Stand 300) and Etihad Engineering (Stand 1110) in August, the Abu Dhabi site earmarked as the likely location for the first Boeing 777-300ER conversion center outside Israel could go into operation in as little as 12 months, Yossi Melamed, general manager, IAI Aviation Group, told AIN in an interview.
