Central European Private Aviation:
CEPA Expo to focus on impact of Ukraine unrest

The impact of the recent unrest in Eastern Ukraine on the Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) market will be a focus of CEPA's 2014 EXPO being held in Prague on 19th and 20th November.

As events have unfolded and the effects felt across the whole of Europe, the EXPO team has been ensuring that the topics covered at CEPA Expo will reflect the real concerns of the aviation community doing business in the CEE.

CEPA Chairman, Roger Whyte commented “This year, as with every year, there is a packed and relevant programme planned for delegates. There will be a full assessment of the CEE market by experts and a dedicated session on the business implications of the Russian and Ukrainian situation. The ramifications of the unrest reach far and wide so we will have bankers, lawyers, OEMs and operators represented who will be able to give up-to-minute information on developments within their business areas."

CEPA Founder, Dagmar Grossmann added, “We have previously reported statistics on the growing wealth within the Ukraine and the impact of Russia on the CEE aviation market, so it

It is the role of CEPA and the EXPO to continue to help organisations understand current conditions as well as how to navigate within them.

In brief the CEPA EXPO programme will include:

  • Russia and Ukraine - Implications for business
  • Current issues in CRM & latest safety solutions
  • Regulatory and legal developments
  • Operating cost control & fleet upgrading
