The new office will further the reach of this global consortium, opening up the Asia Pacific region to members and assisting them in engaging with organisations across the world.

MEAC members offer products, services, training and expertise to companies wishing to do business in the rapidly growing Middle East aerospace market. The new Shanghai office is a signal of the continued growth of the MEAC, demonstrating the consortium's commitment to business in the region and extending its ability to assist members from the many diverse sectors of the aerospace industry.

The Shanghai office will be run by Graham Brant, former CEO of Microsoft Hong Kong and for many years a senior advisor on technology and investment policy to technology companies and government agencies across Asia.

John Ellis, CEO of MEAC commented:

"The MEAC works to develop and maximise opportunities for industry in the MENA region through networking, collaboration and mutual trade between its members internationally. We feel that the Asia Pacific region is extremely important to the aerospace sector right now and that our presence in Shanghai will be valuable to our members across the world. Mr Brant has a wealth of experience in the region and I am sure that his expertise and contacts will be highly beneficial to the growth of the MEAC. "

Mr Brant added:

"I am delighted to be joining the MEAC at this very exciting time as it continues to develop globally. The aerospace industry in the Asia Pacific region has shown great resilience in the face of difficult economic conditions and I am excited to be working with the MEAC in Shanghai as the market in this region is set to rapidly expand in the near future."
