LONDON, Sept. 22, 2013 /PRN=KYODO JBN/ --

    - Leading annual event for the ATC community will be held in China for the

first time

    UBM, the organisers of ATC Global, today announced that the ATC Global

Conference and Exhibition will be held in the capital of China for the very

first time in 2014.

    Taking place from 17-19 September at the China National Convention Center

(CNCC) in Beijing, ATC Global will once again unite the international Air

Traffic Management (ATM) community for three days of business and networking,

and will also facilitate high-level discussions around common industry issues.

    Hosting ATC Global in China for the very first time reflects the growing

importance that the region plays within the aviation industry as a key

transport hub, both regionally and internationally, whilst also recognising its

strategic location between Europe and the Americas.

    Paula Milburn, Development Director - Aviation for UBM, explains: "We have

been monitoring the global market with an eye on Asia for several years and

have spent the last two years conducting in-depth research whilst also

establishing relationships that will underpin the next chapter in the

development of ATC Global. Over the last 23 years the event has achieved strong

growth and international reach from its regional roots in Europe. As the show

continues to expand, the new location of Beijing will assist in bringing the

global ATM community together to seek solutions to the current challenges

facing the industry and to conduct business."

    UBM is working closely with the government and relevant authorities in

China and the event has the support and backing of the ATMB CAAC. An Advisory

Board comprising of senior representatives from the ATMB CAAC and the

international ATM community will steer the event and help to ensure that it

best reflects the needs of the industry.

    According to CAPA aviation is a key sector in driving China's economic

strategy and as such US$230 billion has been committed to developing civil

aviation as part of the current 5 year plan.

    Mr. Wang Liya, Director General of ATMB, added: "We are delighted that the

ATC Global Conference and Exhibition 2014 will take place in Beijing. We have

attended the show for the past few years and feel that this is a great event

that serves the ATM community well. ATMB look forward to working closely with

the ATC Global team and other senior stakeholders within the industry to create

a truly global event that covers all the key issues surrounding this dynamic

sector along with exploring the crucial role this region will play in this."
