Boeing
today concluded a two-day conference in Warsaw, Poland, designed to build relationships and create networking opportunities for more than 20
airlines -- most of them from Central Europe -- as well as Boeing executives,
leasing companies and engine manufacturers. Representatives from nearly 15
countries participated.
"We wanted to bring the airlines of the region and the aviation industry
together to better understand our collective and individual business goals and
challenges," said Marlin Dailey, vice president of Sales for Europe, Boeing
Commercial Airplanes. "We've had intensive discussions about how Boeing and other companies can help our customers meet growing air-traffic demand
with high-value products and services."
Airlines participating in the conference, the second held by Boeing in Central
Europe in the past two years, included CSA Czech, JAT Airlines, LOT Polish
Airlines, Malev, and Travel Servis.
"As a committed and valued partner for the last 15 years, we know our Central
European customers very well, but it is vital we stay in tune with emerging
developments, especially as many parts of the region are on the verge of
joining the European Union," Dailey said. "This and an increasingly de-regulated market will lead to new opportunities and new challenges for all
of us."
Boeing is broadly integrated in the European aerospace industry. Its network
of more than 600 European partners and suppliers provides components, services and systems valued between US$4 and US$5 billion every year and
supports thousands of jobs across the region. |
