This weekend the Women in Corporate Aviation will be hosting a booth in the sunny south of France at the 6th International Exhibition of General Aviation in Cannes. Members Kristina Tervo and Valerie Langford will be at the Cannes-Mandelieu Airport´s stand, representing the WCA in Southern Europe’s only general aviation exhibition. The Cannes Airshow describes itself as a show “designed for pilots, owners, enthusiasts and professionals in general aviation from all over Europe.”
In addition to over 100 exhibitors, there are many informative conferences to attend. For instance, Zurich eyewear will hold sessions to discuss the unique, and often overlooked importance of proper eye care for pilots above the clouds.The Fédération Française Aéronautique (FFA) will also host a session entitled,"Fly Safer" with Daniel Vacher, Chairman of the FFA Safety Commission.
Since 2005, Mr. Vacher has been active in overseeing accident research and implementing action plans designed to improve flight safety. “Light aviation in France is bigger than anywhere else in Europe,” said Mr. Vacher in a special Issue of ApaveMag last year. In his remarks, he will draw from statistics that show what accidents continue to occur and how to find solutions to issues such as fuel starvation, weather, controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) and loss of control while landing. From his experience and data analysis, Mr. Vacher will also expert insight for safer light aviation practices.
Last month, light business aircraft filled the airspace above the French Riviera en route to the well-known film Cannes film festival. Numerous planes with celebrities and creators of cinema resided in nearby runways. The FFA’s Kevin Dupuch will discuss ways to organize a trip by light aircraft in another information session during the conference. Business aircraft charters and brokers are integral in this process in all parts of the globe.
This event is billed to be one of the best trade shows in the aviation industry and will bring exhibitors together in one place to offer the latest and most innovative designs in aviation.
In addition to light aircraft, there will be a wide range of the aviation industry represented. Transcontinental jets, kit aircraft, helicopters and turboprops are all expected at the show. The exhibition will be open from Thursday June 7th to Saturday, June 9th at the International Airport of Cannes-Mandelieu (LFMD). Be sure to drop by and say, ‘bonjour’ to Kristina and Valerie at the WCA stand!
