Return visitors to this year’s ABACE show will certainly notice something different about the venue at the host Shanghai Hawker Pacific Business Aviation Centre (SHPBAC). Gone is the large pavilion that stood outside just outside the hangar doors, as the location’s second hangar is now operational and like the first hangar, it is now packed with exhibitors. The 4,500-sq-m (48,437-sq-ft) structure adds to the existing 4,000-sq-m (43,000 sq ft) hangar, and includes more office space on three floors. Completed just weeks ahead of the show, it will provide a strong impetus for growth at the FBO, according to Carey Matthews, SHPBAC’s’s general manager.
