<p>NBAA will again host the Asian Business Aviation Conference &amp; Exhibition (ABACE), on January 18 and 19, 2011. The recession prompted the association to cancel the ABACE show that was to have been held earlier this year in February. At the time of the cancellation last December, NBAA said that it “remains committed to business aviation in Asia, and we intend to resume production of ABACE as soon as market conditions allow.” NBAA is partnering with the Asian Business Aviation Association (AsBAA) to hold ABACE as well as with the International Business Aviation Council (IBAC) to provide education session content. ABACE will also include the Business Aviation Safety Seminar, which will be organized by AsBAA, the Flight Safety Foundation, IBAC and NBAA. ABACE 2011 will be held at the Hong Kong Business Aviation Centre at Hong Kong International Airport. The exhibit area and education sessions will be housed inside hangars while the static display will be on the ramp next to the Business Aviation Centre’s hangars.</p>
