(August 10, 2004) - Fractional and charter operators focused on the Asian marjket should take note of a new business aviation event in that region. NBAA continues to expand its exhibition-related reach, as evidenced by its new presence in the Asian aerospace market. The organization will host the First Annual Asian Business Aviation Conference & Exhibition (ABACE2005) from August 9 through 11, 2005, in Shanghai, China. Modelled after the NBAA-sponsored events in the United States, Europe and Latin America, ABACE2005 will be the first major Asian exhibition focused solely on business aviation in Asia, which is proving to be an emerging market with great potential for business aircraft and related products and services.

ABACE2005 will feature indoor exhibits at the Shanghai New International Exhibition Center and a Static Display of business aircraft at Hongqiao International Airport. It also will offer informational sessions on a variety of business aviation issues of interest to operators, non-operators, regulators and decision-makers from Asia and companies from the United States conducting business in that region.
