Military Airlift 2014
September 16 - 18, 2014
london , United Kingdom
Despite the end to the conflict in Afghanistan, there will always remain a requirement for transport that can enable deployment at short notice; the French operations in Mali and the Central African Republic are testament to that.
Militaries around the world are faced with the challenge of plugging the capability gap between these growing operational, multifaceted demands and the stark reality of their limited current available assets. Purchasing new airlifters outright is not feasible for every state, particularly with the persistent squeeze on national defence budgets and so ensuring cost-effectiveness is of paramount importance.
Against this backdrop, our eleventh Military Airlift conference will offer you the opportunity to:
- Network and share ideas and perspectives with colleagues from around the world
- Engage with our most prestigious speaker panel to date, 70% of whom have never presented at this event before
- Analyse the lessons learnt from recent airlift and AAR operations in Africa and Afghanistan
- Discuss and compare the operational performance of competing platforms including the Airbus A400M, the Alenia C-27J Spartan, the Lockheed Martin C-130, the Airbus A330 MRTT and the Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker
- Hear about forthcoming airlifters and air-to-air refuellers including the Embraer KC-390 and Boeing's KC-46 Pegasus
- Get an industry perspective from Airbus Defence and Space, and Alenia Aermacchi
- Learn about the latest developments in cost-saving and capability enhancing solutions, from air charter to pooling and sharing agreements
- Discover innovative approaches to airdrop
