Military Airlift: Current Missions and Capability Conference 2014

The 15th annual Military Airlift conference is the largest bespoke military airlift conference in Europe.

Military Airlift 2014 will focus on ongoing missions being carried out across the world and how the correct and appropriate airlift capability is deployed and the development of new capability. There will also be an emphasis on the changing landscape of airlift with changes in multinational commands such as the EATC, the specific challenges posed by African missions including Operation Sangaris in Central Africa and much more.

We are proud to be supported by many significant multinational commands in Europe such as European Air Group and Movement Coordination Centre Europe as well as many Air Forces from across Europe.
