In an increasingly competitive world both within and outside the industry, it is those that continue to be innovative and extraordinary that deserve recognition for their efforts.

As aircraft become more ‘connected’ than ever before, a whole new layer of sophistication is being added to the avionics systems on aircraft. For the first time, Avionics Magazine will reward and showcase the best of the best when it comes to new technologies in these areas. The Awards are an exciting addition to our line-up, and we look forward to celebrating and working with the industry to making these Awards a key industry event,” says Mark Holmes, Editorial Director, Aerospace (Via Satellite and Avionics Magazines).
