Sydney Flies Into the Future with Aviatex Expo in 2018

Sydney's Bankstown Airport to become the new home of Aviatex - Australia’s largest annual general aviation trade show and careers exposition

SYDNEY, NEW SOUTH WALES, AUSTRALIA, January 24, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Bright Events Pty Ltd and Sydney Metro Airports Corporation have announced the commencement of an exciting partnership which will see Aviatex – Aviation Exposition & Careers Showcase relocated to Bankstown Airport in November 2018.

Aviatex Expo is the premier trade show in the Australian market for general aviation products and services, and was previously held in conjunction with the Wings Over Illawarra Airshow in Wollongong. The strategic relocation to Bankstown, in the heart of Australia’s largest city, will give greater scope to take in the education and training sectors covering all areas of the aviation industry, which is a key focus for the airport going forward.

CEO of Sydney Metro Airports, Lee de Winton, said “This is an exciting time for our airports, General Aviation in the Sydney Basin area and also the Community. I am pleased to welcome Aviatex to Bankstown in 2018 especially as we need to attract the next generation of pilots, engineers and other aviation professional to meet the needs of both the imminent Western Sydney Airport and the wider Australian Aviation Industry. It is also a great opportunity to show off our airport. Bankstown is home to not only over 15 flying schools and an ecosystem of supporting businesses but also boasts the majority of the State air emergency services which provide essential support to millions in Sydney and wider NSW.”

School leavers in particular will be actively encouraged to attend the expo to sample a wide range of potential career streams on offer, ranging from flight training to engineering, management to air traffic control, light aircraft to airlines, civil and military.

Mark Bright, Director, Bright Events said “ We are excited to provide the general aviation community a platform to showcase their products and services in such a prime location. We encourage the aviation industry to take advantage of this opportunity to engage with other industry professionals and career seekers.

The expo will also provide an outstanding venue for business leaders to network, with specific areas set aside for seminars and private conferencing. ”

This year's event will be held over three days between November 15 and 17, and is open to the general public. General admission tickets are $10 each, and can be purchased online or at the gate.
