We are delighted to announce the Military Airlift and Air-to-Air Refuelling 2021 conference, taking place in London on the 30th November and 1st December.
Building on our critically acclaimed 2020 edition, the 22nd annual conference remains the preeminent forum for the international air mobility and airlift community - providing critical perspectives from heavy and tactical airlift, rotary wing and AAR industries.
