Boyd Group Featured At AviationPros LIVE

Dec. 27, 2012
Well-known consultant will discuss issues affecting our international industry

Most of us are taking time off between Christmas and Jan. 2, the official first work day of 2013. However, we’ve put many of the finishing touches on next year’s AviationPro LIVE, March 13-14, at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

We've mentioned some GSE-related events a couple of blogs ago. However, the show will also feature Michael Boyd, chairman of Boyd Group International, in a keynote address covering the major issues facing the international aviation market. In addition, the Boyd Group will offer a separate educational session delving more deeply into these major issues including taxes, regulations and fuel issues.

This year, Ground Support Worldwide will host two seminars each on March 13:

  • Funding Options For Electric GSE, 11 a.m.-12 noon

Neal Wolfe, a senior consultant with LeighFisher, to discuss not just VALE grants, but other state and local alternatives.

  • The State Of The Electric GSE Market, 2-3 p.m.

A panel discussion including GSE professionals from airlines and battery makers to talk about the results of a survey of Ground Support Worldwide readers on their buying trends for electric equipment.

Another draw for our readers is sure to be an expanded outdoor exhibit area, which will offer booths and plenty of room to demonstrate GSE.

Also, we’ll be announcing the winners of our Ground Support Leaders at the Opening Night Reception, 6 p.m., March 13.
