Twenty exhibitors from across the country are showcasing their technological capabilities in areas where Naval Aviation requires handholding on account of diminishing product support from Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM). Senior military airworthiness certification officials are also attending the exposition for the ease of understanding of aviation product standards by the industry.

The objective of the exposition is to bring leading private players to the Aircraft Yard to fight the bane of obsolescence of vintage systems through technological substitution and innovative repairs.
