2011 Conference
The 2011 conference celebrated the success of the Aircraft Registry and showcased the Island's wide range of aviation interests that goes far beyond the register into engineering and manufacturing, design and maintenance.
The conference attracted industry professionals from off island who in many instances had already participated in the island's aviation story but who had not yet heard about the wider aviation opportunities on offer nor seen the Isle of Man for themselves.
The 2011 conference was opened by keynote speaker Hon Alan Bell MHK, in his capacity as Minister of Economic Development at that time. The high calibre list of Isle of Man based speakers included Brian Johnson, Director of Civil Aviation, Adrian Moore, Development Manager Industry and Space for the Department of Economic Development, Tim Craine, head of the Business Development Agency, Courtenay Heading of Bladon Jets Holdings Limited, Martin Sanderson of Aerotech International and Mark Byrne of ICM Aviation. We were very proud to present two off Island speakers, Thierry Betbeze of Dassault Aviation and David Velupillai of Airbus Corporate Jets.
