Dear members and friends,

It is our pleasure to invite you the Thailand Aerospace Forum 2014.

The global airline industry achieves around 32 million commercial flights a year, transporting 3 billion passengers and 50 million tonnes of freight. The industry’s global economic impact has been estimated at $2.4 trillion annually, providing employment for nearly 60 million people. According to Airbus, air traffic is predicted to double over the next 15 years and over 31 thousand new aircraft, worth a total of around $4.6 trillion, will be needed between now and 2033. The Asia Pacific region will provide the most dynamic growth region during this period with almost 40% of new aircraft being destined for this part of the world. This growth presents exciting opportunities for Thailand and Thai companies if the right decisions are made.
