Top Speakers Announced for Aviation Electronics Europe in Munich, Germany in April 2016

Dec. 17, 2015 - PRLog -- Aviation Electronics Europe, which will take place on 20th-21st April 2016 in Munich, Germany, has announced some of the leading international experts who will be speaking at the forthcoming event, focussing on key industry topics areas, including the Single European Sky and Next-Gen initiatives.

With the global market for commercial avionics equipment set to grow at an annual rate of 4.8 percent through to 2019, the industry has not been this buoyant for some time, setting the scene for some active discussions at Aviation Electronics Europe on the future policies, performances and innovations in the aviation electronics and avionics sector.
