ANTALYA – Anadolu Agency
Turkey’s first aeronautical expo Eurasia Airshow saw the signing of agreements worth around $12 billion, an organizer of the event has told state-run Anadolu Agency.
“Approximately $12 billion agreements were signed during the fair. These are the exact figures that we know,” Hakan Kurt, general manager of Medyacity Corporation, said on May 29, particularly noting that Russia made some very big deals.
The Mediterranean city of Antalya hosted the expo that started on April 25, with the five-day event seeing the participation of national and international dignitaries and the attendance of 343 companies.
“During the first three days of the expo, we welcomed around 27,000 defense industry and aviation professionals from 102 countries. About 130,000 citizens visited the expo over the weekend,” Kurt said.
“This is the largest number that has been reached so far at an aeronautical fair,” he added.
“The second Eurasia Airshow will be organized again in Antalya on April 20-26 in 2020,” Kurt said.
