USA - The second edition of the US Air, Trade and Technology Expo (ATTE) has been cancelled by the organisers.
Due to run alongside the Dayton Vectron Air Show at the Dayton International Airport in July next year, ATTE was planned to run every two years from its July 2009 launch. However, the expo’s board of directors has announced the next edition will take place in 2013.
Board chairman Kent Owsley said the cancellation was due to several reasons, including needing more time to obtain US Department of Commerce accreditation and efforts to bring more military and civilian aerospace representatives to attend. He added that sluggish economic conditions are discouraging companies from funding travel to special events.
The Dayton Vectron Air Show will continue as scheduled.
