Austrian Business Aviation Association (ABAA)’s Post

As Passenger Terminal EXPO & CONFERENCE ✈️ 2024 draws near, we are presented with a wide array of speakers and captivating topics. In this regard, we wish to highlight a speaker who we are particularly eager to listen to: Ryan Cant, the Chief Digital Officer at Manchester Airport Group (MAG).  MAG is one of our strategic business partners, sharing our common purpose of creating a Connected Operations platform for all operational areas at MAG's three airports, Manchester Airport, London Stansted Airport, and East Midlands Airport.     Ryan Cant will discuss, among other topics:  - How MAG has transformed the way it thinks about technology and change delivery, pivoting to a business-partnered, product delivery model. - How a product-led technology operating model can transform your business - How to partner with the business to develop integrated product roadmaps.    We've included a clip from a recent webinar we co-hosted with MAG, focusing on connected airport operations. In this clip, Ryan Cant shares his introduction and his vision to establish the most intelligent airport in the world. We believe this serves as an excellent teaser of what to expect from his presentation at PTE. #IntelligentAirport #Aviation #PTE2024 #ConnectedOperations

Super excited to confirm we will be returning to North America in 2025 and hosting an industry Conference and Awards — where we will once again bring together senior leaders from the global Advanced Air Mobility market. An exact location hasn’t been confirmed just yet, but the format will remain the same as our recent Montreal event: an industry tour will be planned for Wednesday, April 9th with a pre-event drinks reception also taking place that evening. Our full-day conference will be on Thursday, April 10th and feature presentations, panel debates and fireside chats on a host of topics. This will include both industry leaders and those from outside the market, who can provide greater perspectives on the challenges and opportunities as we move closer towards global commercialisation. Once our conference finishes, our 2025 Global AAM Awards Ceremony will take place in the evening. More information about the categories and entry process will be announced in due course. Then on Friday, April 11th, we will conclude our event schedule with another industry tour — likely to take place in the morning before finishing early afternoon. https://ow.ly/s9i250ROPPH #evtolinsights #northamerica #advancedairmobility #event #networking #electricaviation #airtaxi #evtol #conference

I was delighted to attend last week's Farnborough International Airshow to engage with the representatives of leading aerospace companies and to promote the Polish aerospace and aviation sector. Thousands of exhibitors and guests descended on the halls and surrounding grounds of the Farnborough airport (these days servicing business aviation) for five days of exchanges, networking and measuring the pulse of this critically important industry in these uncertain, turbulent times. In particular, I had the honour to inaugurate an event showcasing the Polish Aviation Valley - Aviation Valley | Dolina Lotnicza - a cluster of aviation companies both small and large, now in the third decade of development. In my opening remarks I said: "→ The Polish aviation industry spans well over 80 years of scientific and engineering work, centred in Poland’s south-east regions. Cities like Świdnik or Mielec are the cradles of Polish aviation and innovation. Last year, the Polish Aviation Valley, with Rzeszów as its centre, celebrated 20 years since its inception. → The region has since become a crucible of various undertakings involving international business partners. It was not a lucky coincidence, but rather a matter of a conscious choice. The Aviation Valley owes its remarkable success to the combination of factors: highly skilled engineering staff, a deep pool of talent attracted by leading academic and scientific institutions, as well as a pro-business mindset of local authorities. → As a result, today the Aviation Valley is an indispensable part of not just local, but national economy. It contributes to Poland’s image as a country of innovation and engineering prowess, on par with similar clusters around the globe." These words of praise are well deserved! I am grateful to the hosts Aviation Valley | Dolina Lotnicza and Farnborough Aerospace Consortium, as well as Polish Investment and Trade Agency (PAIH) London Office for the opportunity to represent Embassy of the Republic of Poland in London at this important event. Special thanks go out to Rafal Owczarek and Karol Cienkus, Ph.D. I will finish on a more personal note: it was great fun to once again, albeit for just one day, to become part of the global community of aviation and aerospace professionals. Indeed, aviation sector was one of my specialties when working for the U.S. Commercial Service some ten years ago (a big shout out to Brenda VanHorn, my boss at that time!). This experience really helped to keep up with the industry representatives as they presented their products and solutions!

Today marks the first day of MCE 2024 in Milan, and the Turbo Mango team is happy to be here! 🇮🇹 We're looking forward to meeting and exchanging insights with an array of amazing AEC market professionals. Let's make this event unforgettable! 💼🚀 #MCE2024 #TurboMango #AECNetworking"

Europe is an economic region with enormous economic and political power. For me, there is no alternative but to strengthen Europe. Left to its own devices, Germany, and every other European country, would hardly stand a chance in a global competition, becoming more diverse and challenging. Together, we will be able to master the challenges ahead. For Lufthansa Technik, with its significant presence in Europe, this backbone gives us the strength to compete globally. For our economic prosperity being part of the EU is without alternative. But everything is based on our democratic values – and only if we protect and strengthen these values, we will have a strong, powerful Europe. A powerhouse that stands clear against the autocratic systems worldwide guaranteeing freedom, economic prosperity and peace.    That is why: go and use your right to vote June 6 to 9, 2024! #LufthansaTechnik #SayYesToEurope #UseYourVote    

Why does the SAF and aviation community attend congresses and events? Typically it's a combination of learning new business strategies, networking with project partners and, of course, a bit of socialising 🍻 . Not to mention being prepared for impending regulatory changes (e.g. RefuelEU Aviation) or incentives that are set to impact the entire industry. With less than six weeks to go until the European edition of Sustainable Aviation Futures in Amsterdam, we thought it would be best to ask some of the event's Advisory Board members why they are supporting SAF Congress this year and what they are looking to get out of their participation. If you are still sitting on the fence as to whether you will attend www.safcongress.com, why not hear from Aaron Robinson, Claudia Huegel, Jan Lueckhof, Mohamed Pourkashanian OBE, Patrick Edmond 🇺🇦, Dr. Ulrike Ziegler and Ralf Diemer --> https://lnkd.in/eKNK6RPj This is the last week to take advantage of the 3 for 2 offer at Sustainable Aviation Futures EU, taking place in Amsterdam from 21-23 May.
