Ed Bolen, president and CEO of the National Business Aviation
Association (NBAA) today presented Shanghai Airport Authority (SAA) President
Jing Yi Ming with an Innovation Award honoring SAA's leadership and commitment
in co-hosting the annual Asian Business Aviation Conference & Exhibition
(ABACE), which has taken place in Shanghai, China since 2012.
The award was presented during the 2016 European Business Aviation
Convention & Exhibition (EBACE2016), taking place May 24 to 26 at the
Palexpo center and Geneva International Airport in Geneva, Switzerland.
"Mr. Jing is a champion for ABACE, and a tireless advocate for the
industry in China and across Asia,” said NBAA President and CEO Ed Bolen. “The
success and significance of ABACE simply would not have been possible without
strong support from Mr. Jing and the SAA.”
As an example, Bolen noted that, with the SAA’s support, ABACE has
featured a variety of fixed-wing androtor aircraft in the show’s aircraft
display at Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport.
The 2016 event, which took place April 12 to 14, showcased the
largest-ever footprint for the show’s exhibit floor, upon which 40 percent of
the 165 exhibiting companies were based in the region. ABACE2016 attracted
attendees from more than 50 countries. The static display, with 30 aircraft,
was more diverse than ever this year, featuring the full spectrum of general
aviation aircraft.
