The APATS Aviation Education and Training Symposium (AAETS)

Join us at AAETS (The APATS Aviation Education and Training Symposium) on 10th-11th February 2015, Incheon, Republic of Korea.

AAETS is a conference and trade show that will bring together experts from around the world to develop training skills across the whole civil aviation industry. The conference will discover the latest techniques and best practices in training and education for a broad reach of aviation disciplines.
