LONDON, August 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ –

New to the series this year, the Airline E&M: North America Conference (South San
Francisco Conference Center, San Francisco, USA Oct 30 – Nov 1) offers critical updates on
airline MRO in the United States and Canada. Bringing together key decision-makers from
the region’s airlines, OEMs, independent manufacturers, suppliers and MRO providers, the
event stands out from its competitors with a speaker line-up that comprises senior
representatives from both service-providers and end-users.

Speaking on behalf of UBM Aviation, Programme Editor – Jim Whittock, described the
event as “a must-attend for all those involved in airline engineering and maintenance in
North America who want to stay informed about the strengths and weaknesses of the most
cutting-edge products and services the industry has to offer. The fact that we’ve been
able to give a voice to the end-users of those products and services – senior airline
representatives from the continent’s largest airlines – will steer the conversation away
from the standard sales pitches towards a more critical, balanced discussion”.
