The Global Aerospace Summit, an Abu Dhabi-based aviation event that will take place for the second time in April, has announced speakers to take part on the first day of the summit.

Hosted by Mubadala Development and organised by Streamline Marketing Group, the event will see James Hogan, president and CEO of Etihad Airways, Marillyn Hewson, president and CEO of Lockheed Martin and Tony Douglas, CEO of Abu Dhabi Airports, as opening speakers on April 7, 2014. The conference runs for two days through April 8.

Mr. Hogan will address the topic of partnerships and collaboration as Etihad extends its business model of minority equity investments in airlines around the world.

The inaugural event attracted 900 visitors from 52 countries in 2012. The summit team will be at Mubadala’s stand (1906) at the Dubai Airshow.
