ABACE is increasingly becoming an international show with a uniquely Asian touch, according to NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen. In its eighth edition in Shanghai, the show now features more speakers and exhibitors from China and Asia.&nbsp;This year, about 40 percent of the exhibitors are from Asia and a number of&nbsp;local speakers delivered presentations and educational sessions.
“Companies big and small come&nbsp;with hopes and goals on what their&nbsp;investment is going to do and who they are going to meet," Bolen said. "They have told me that the show&nbsp;has met and&nbsp;exceeded expectations and, in some cases, delighted&nbsp;them.”
He said the presence of the various companies this year underscores their commitment to the Asian market, despite some uncertainty in the marketplace. For example, Gulfstream had&nbsp;its largest-ever presence at the show, and Bombardier showing&nbsp;off the new Global 7500 for its&nbsp;first airshow debut&nbsp;"is a strong statement," he added. “ABACE is a big stage, and [companies] put their best people and product in the bright spotlight.”
ABACE 2019 included a panel dedicated to eVTOL technology for the first time, and Bolen said next year's show will also have some eVTOL elements. Co-organizers NBAA and the Asian Business Aviation Association said they will continue to tailor ABACE to the latest trends and technology in this&nbsp;dynamic region.
