The Aviation Industry Expo took on a new flavor this year, with the AMTSociety providing the maintenance-related content and joining the National Air Transportation Association (NATA), which was in Dallas with its second annual FBO Leadership Conference. This year was the AMTSociety’s first Annual Aircraft Maintenance Summit; the Professional Aviation Maintenance Association used to hold its annual conference at AIE but is no longer part of the show. “We’re trying to build the maintenance portion of this event,” said group show director Jill Ryan. “It’s an important segment of the show.”

In addition to training sessions, the AMTSociety held a Snap-On toolbox raffle, Texas hold ’em tournament and sessions on the personnel shortage, safety management systems and technician certification.
