ATC Global Attracts European Support for Beijing Event in September 2014

London (ots/PRNewswire) -

ATC Global is receiving strong European support as the event gets
set to take place in China for the first time. This world class
Conference and Exhibition which has previously attracted in excess of
5,500 attendees from 116 countries will continue to unite the
international ATM community when it takes place 17th - 19th September
at the China National Convention Centre (CNCC), Beijing.

The move to Beijing positions the event in a region that is
experiencing exceptional growth and although the event is moving from
Europe after 23 years, it is retaining its strong European following
while at the same time becoming more accessible to ANSP's and
suppliers from Asia. As the only large scale ATC exhibition and
conference to have the full backing of the ATMB/ CAAC, ATC Global is
uniquely placed to provide links between China and the rest of the
world's ATM community and will provide a bridge between Europe and
Asia.

European organisations such as Eurocontrol and SESAR have
confirmed their participation along with leading European suppliers
including Thales, Northrup Grumman Park Air Systems, Terma, Rhode &
Schwartz, Selex ES, LPS SR, Airtel ATN, Entry Point North, Barco and
Frequentis.

Paula Milburn, Development Director for Aviation at UBM Live
comments "ATC Global aims to unite the international ATM community
and provide a platform to drive forward a global agenda.
Participation from all parts of the world is essential in achieving
this goal and it is wonderful to see so many past supporters of the
event in Europe following it to Beijing with such enthusiasm."

Mr Frank Brenner, Director General, Eurocontrol explains: "China
is the fastest growing aviation market in the world and as we strive
to improve the performance of the air traffic management network, we
need to look beyond Europe in order to develop connections with the
global network. We therefore look forward to ATC Global and the
opportunities that it can offer."

Charles Houseago, Managing Director, Northrop Grumman Park Air
adds: "Considering the potential offered by the growing Asian market,
relocating ATC Global to Beijing makes sense and is a positive step
towards opening up business opportunities for international
suppliers."
