Embraer is organizing the 6th China Regional Aviation Forum (RAF 2023) in the city of Qingdao from November 7th to 8th, 2023. The event’s theme is “Connectivity and Differentiation – New Momentum in Regional Aviation Development.”

The forum is set to welcome over 150 participants from government agencies, domestic and overseas airlines, airports, lessors, institutes, trade associations, and other relevant organizations.

Speakers will include airline executives, industry experts, and think tanks, who will lead discussions on various topics, including the development of the global and China regional aviation market, successful business models, and sharing experiences among airlines.

Arjan Meijer, President and CEO of Embraer Commercial Aviation, stated, “Embraer is providing a platform through the forum that gathers the wisdom and experience of the most qualified and knowledgeable individuals to discuss and debate how to expand regional networks and boost connectivity.

The key is to offer efficient and rightsized aircraft to build China’s connectivity. The E2, which complements China’s indigenous products perfectly, is the ideal aircraft for achieving this, as it will connect second and third-tier cities, as well as remote regions.

China Civil Aviation embrace a more sustainable aviation future

With both the E190-E2 and E195-E2 certified by CAAC, we are confident about our prospects in China, supporting growth and helping China Civil Aviation embrace a more sustainable aviation future.”

Guo Qing, Managing Director and VP Commercial Aviation at Embraer China, commented, “We believe the regional market is a key driver of future growth. There are one billion people living in China who have never taken a flight.

China Civil Aviation Authority places significant importance on the integration of the overall network, connecting trunk and regional routes to feed traffic to each other. In this context, our E2 aircraft will be an efficient tool to assist small and medium-sized airlines in focusing on the regional segment by differentiating their business models, market access, product, and service offerings.”

The China Regional Aviation Forum was previously held in Kunming, Yinchuan, Guiyang, Ordos, and Sanya. This year’s event is being jointly organized by China Aviation News and Civil Aviation Management Institute of China (CAMIC).
