A US company specializing in aerial cargo from the air is seeking a Middle East joint venture opportunity at the eighth international aerospace exhibition - Dubai 2003 - being held next month.  

 

Airlift Technologies International (ATI) offers aerial cargo delivery systems technology for parachute airdrops. The Florida-based company is also a key contractor for NASA, successfully moving more than $11 billion worth of components for the International Space Station during the past five years. ATI flies the very large objects in Super Guppy heavy lift aircraft to the Kennedy Space Center in preparation for launch into space.  

 

“We will be exploring the possibility of forming a joint venture with a company in the region to improve sales for our ground handling and platform component business,” said ATI President Bryon L. Woram.  

 

ATI is one of around 500 companies that will be exhibiting at the eighth international aerospace exhibition being held at the Airport Expo from December 7-11. Dubai 2003 is being organized by Fairs & Exhibitions (F&E) in conjunction with the Department of Civil Aviation, Government of Dubai and in co-operation with the UAE Armed Forces. — (menareport.com)
