Winslow LifeRaft Company of Lake Suzy, Florida (Stand C524), has come to MEBA with one primary mission, said George Byer, the company's vice president sales, "We need to locate a repair and overhaul facility in the Middle East" that can repair and service the company's life rafts. Byer added, "A large number of aircraft in the region have our life rafts," and the rafts must be periodically inspected and serviced to ensure they are ready for deployment in an emergency.

Ideally, Winslow wants to locate a Part 145, General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) approved facility in Abu Dhabi that has or would hire an individual who already has experience with emergency inflation systems and inflatable repairs. "We can't teach them inflatable technology," Byer said.
