Registration is Now Open for the 21st Annual Military Airlift and Air-to-Air Refuelling Conference

London, United Kingdom, June 28, 2020 --(PR.com)-- As strategic and heavy airlift continues to drive expeditionary capability – the market capitalisation of this mission critical sector continues to grow. Delivering "boots on the ground," as well as military support to civilian authorities in the recent COVID-19 epidemic, means that there has never been a more important time to view how armed forces, industry and governments are developing this force multiplier.

With this in mind, SMi Group are pleased to announce the return of the 21st Annual Military Airlift and Air-to-Air Refuelling conference and exhibition, taking place on 1st-2nd December 2020 in Seville, Spain, where key upgrade programmes for the A400M are underway.

For those interested in attending, the biggest early bird discount of £400 is expiring on Tuesday 30th June 2020. Register at http://www.military-airlift.com/pr1
