Etihad Airways is the official airline for IDEX 2007 to be held at the Abu Dhabi International Exhibition Centre between 18-22 February.

The eighth International Defence Exhibition & Conference will be a focal point for the Middle Eastern, Gulf and Asian defence markets and provide key decision-makers with the opportunity to network with leading equipment suppliers and system solutions companies.

Up to 45,000 visitors are expected to attend the five-day conference, which is owned and organised by Reed Exhibitions.

Geert W. Boven, executive vice president, sales & services, Etihad Airways said: “IDEX is far more than a defence exhibition. It has built a formidable reputation for commercial deal-making in the last eight years, and is one of the major highlights on the Abu Dhabi exhibition calendar. We are pleased to be the official airline for delegates.”

Etihad, having signed an AED 3.5 billion deal with Rolls Royce at last year’s show, is offering special air fares for flights to Abu Dhabi from various destinations to participate in the premier industry event.
