Aerospace Forum Asia at a Glance

E-mail Print PDF

Aerospace Forum Asia (AFA) is a regional non-profit association of industry professionals dedicated to advancing awareness and discussion on all aspects of the aerospace business. Established in 1986 as an informal meeting group, AFA today plays a unique role in Asia as a regular meeting and information point for all sectors of the highly interdependent aerospace industry - and promotes positive government and media appreciation of the aerospace industry and its vital role in stimulating general economic growth.

In recent years the Forum has also been instrumental in raising funds for selected charities - particularly ORBIS, the flying eye hospital.

The Forum's continued aim is to create an Asia-wide industry networked club that reflects the fine traditions of the "Wings Club" in New York. The Forum has recently agreed, in principal, to reciprocal rights with the "Aviation Club of Great Britain" in London and has established activist members in Singapore, Tokyo, Seoul, Taipei, Bangkok, and Kuala Lumpur.

In addition, the Forum, since 1997, has played a vital role as a stepping-stone for industry representatives wishing to engage with the Greater China aerospace market. To date, nine symposiums in Beijing, Zhuhai, Xiamen, Shanghai and Singapore have been completed. The Forum helped to host and promote more than twenty aviation related conferences in Hong Kong, China, and Singapore, covering specialist fields such as Air Freight, Aircraft Finance, Airport Operation, M.R.O. and Destination Marketing.
