Come to find general aviation business opportunities in Chengdu


UK general aviation companies are invited to join us for the 5th China (Chengdu) International General Aviation Development Summit Forum and Presentation about General Aviation during the 17th Western China International Fair (“WCIF”) , to be held on 19th September 2018 (Wednesday) in Chengdu, Sichuan province at Fairmont Chengdu Hotel.

The 17th WCIF will gather approximately 400 attendees, including senior representatives from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China, the Civil Aviation Administration of China, the Office of the State Air Traffic Control Commission, and the Aviation Industry Corporation of China, as well as well-known general aviation experts and scholars, and representatives of Chinese and international general aviation companies.

Event Background

The Western China International Fair (“WCIF”) will attract both Chinese and international general aviation companies to Sichuan province and promote the development of, and investment in, Sichuan’s general aviation industry. This year’s WCIF will focus on both upstream and downstream companies and organisations within the general aviation industry, covering research and development, design, manufacturing and operation.

The WCIF was launched in 2000 and will be held for the 17th time this year. It is a key national-level international fair and an important platform for the Belt and Road Initiative. It brings together both Chinese and international government officials with representatives from industry associations, chambers of commerce, companies, law-makers, and scholars. WCIF is a key event for promoting investment, trade cooperation, and cultural exchange in China’s western region.
