The EXIM Annual Conference is EXIM's flagship event for the year. The one-day, in-person and virtual event features high-level dialogue with innovative leaders in business, finance, government, policy, and media.

During the conference, Aventure shared valuable insights during the panel session "Expanding Globally: How Small Businesses are Reaching New Markets." Aventure discussed ways EXIM can help small business exporters accelerate growth in international markets, fund overseas expansion, engage in emerging economies, and mitigate risk.

"Aventure continues to offer a unique global aviation investment platform for investors, leasing companies, and owners," said Aventure President Talha Faruqi.

"With our experience with aircraft teardowns and a significant global customer base, we have solutions to deploy capital, provide asset management services, and material consignments for stakeholders," continued Faruqi.

Aventure is in active discussions with owners, financial institutions, lessors, and airlines to find revenue-generating teardown solutions for idle aircraft. Aventure will be available for meetings at the Airline Economics Conference and ISTAT event, taking place January 15–18 in Dublin, Ireland.

NACA Food Drive Includes Aventure

NACA members prepare donated food items for distribution.

Team members from Aventure Aviation's Atlanta headquarters joined the local chapter of the National Association of Chinese-Americans (NACA) for a holiday season food drive.

They donated several boxes of non-perishable food items to St. Vincent de Paul Society, in Atlanta, Georgia.

"We always try to have a positive impact within our community, especially when people need it most," said Aaron Winfrey, Aventure Aviation junior sales representative.

Donated items were collected by NACA at their annual holiday dinner. "It's always great to have dinner with friends, but even better when you can help other families have dinner as well," said Lani Wong, NACA Chair.

Since COVID started, NACA has provided over 30,000 meals to the Atlanta Food Bank, $2,500 for children dealing with food insecurity, $2,500 to help families with rent and utilities, and over 20,000 N95 surgical masks for the community.

NACA is a non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of cordial relationships between the U.S. and China.
