Chinese Aircraft Parts Conference Postponed

I have heard from the organizers of the 5th Annual Civil Aviation Parts Management Forum (CAPMF).  They have told me that the conference is being postponed.

Originally scheduled for March 31-April 2, the Conference is now expected to be affected by both domestic and international travel restrictions.  Conference organizer YANG Yanchao (known to his American friends as “Shine”) explained:

We have to put off the CAPMF until later this year, but exact date has not been decided, simply because we have to wait until the coronavirus has been totally annihilated.

The conference has been held in a number of Chinese cities in its short history.  This year it was expected to be held in Chengdu, China: the home of Sichuan Airlines and numerous aviation manufacturing ventures.

I have explained in the past that this conference is essential for anyone who is serious about selling aircraft parts into China.  In terms of the Chinese MRO and airline business contacts, it is the best I’ve attended.  So we will carefully watch for new dates and let the aviation suppliers community know when the conference is rescheduled.

At present, there is not yet an update on the English language website for the conference.
