The Farnborough International<br />
Airshow <strong>2016</strong> is a melting pot of<br />
everything related to the aviation<br />
industry. Held once every two<br />
years, it is a meeting place for<br />
the aerospace industry both for<br />
the defence and commercial<br />
sectors and offers both visitors<br />
and exhibitors to meet new and<br />
potential business partners,<br />
government officials, colleagues<br />
and existing business customers.<br />
This year, the airshow took<br />
place between 16 and 22 July<br />
and was held at the historical<br />
Farnborough Aerodrome in<br />
Hampshire, United Kingdom.<br />
In order to position itself as a<br />
global leader with a vision of<br />
transforming the airport vicinity<br />
into a world-class airport<br />
city, Malaysia Airports<br />
took the opportunity to<br />
showcase KLIA Aeropolis<br />
and announce four<br />
partnerships at this year's<br />
airshow.<br />
Malaysia Airports'<br />
Managing Director,<br />
Datuk Badlisham Ghazali<br />
said, "We are very clear<br />
in our KLIA Aeropolis<br />
development strategy.<br />
The three development<br />
clusters identified, namely<br />
Aerospace & Aviation, Air<br />
Cargo & Logistics and MICE & Leisure are synergistic to the<br />
larger airport system and will serve to not only benefit the<br />
airport operator but also the aviation supply chain as a whole.<br />
These clusters were also identified in view of the strong global<br />
demand available today and over the longer term."<br />
