The six-day biennial event of 2018 is showcasing advanced aviation technologies, many of which meet Vietnam’s demand, particularly for medium cargo aircraft such as the CASA C-212 Aviocar and DHC-6 Twin Otter models.

As part of their attendance in the show, the Vietnamese delegation met representatives from the aerospace products seller Hawker Pacific. 

Senior Lieutenant General Minh told the company about Vietnam’s interest in aircraft components, pilots’ training, and sea patrol aircraft. 

Hawker Pacific said it will help Vietnam improve local pilots’ capacity and set up a centre for aircraft maintenance services in Vietnam with a view to transferring the technology to the country.

The Airshow’s first four days is expected to welcome over 1,060 companies from 50 countries and territories, who are seeking partnerships in civilian and military aviation. It will open to public attendance on the last two days, with the management board expecting at least 130,000 visits. 

Experts said in the next two decades, demand for airplanes in Asia – Pacific will be higher than in anywhere else in the world. During the period, the region is estimated to need over 14,000 airplanes, whose total value exceeds 2 trillion USD.

This rate of growth emphasises the need for regional investment to support and expand aviation infrastructure, and the corresponding increase in demand for maintenance, repair and operations, and other auxiliary services and industries. 

The conglomerate hopes to continue supplying the latest solutions and technologies for its partners in Vietnam, including aerospace control systems, aircraft auxiliary power units (APU) and CCTV electronic security systems.
