Aventure to Meet with C-130 Operators
at HOC in Atlanta and TCG in Orlando

Aventure Aviation, a leading parts supplier for C-130 transport aircraft, will attend two major annual C-130 conferences this month. Aventure encourages attendees to reach out to their onsite representatives (listed above) before, during, or after the show.

Lockheed Martin's Hercules Operators Council Conference (HOC) will take place October 17– 20 at the Renaissance Waverly Hotel in Atlanta, Georgia. It will focus on areas of interest to C-130 operators, such as aircraft structural integrity, increasing fuel storage, special mission applications, and global supply chain services.

C-130 TCG International Technical Program Review (ITPR) will be held October 24–28 at the Caribe Royale in Orlando, Florida. The event provides opportunities for customers, vendors, TCG staff, and US government parties to discuss items of common interest related to operating C-130 aircraft.

"These two annual events have long been of immense interest to us," commented Amyr Qureshi, Aventure's Senior Vice President. "They provide us a centralized way to offer the world's C-130 operators short- and long-term parts support contracts."

Aventure Aviation, a leading global supplier of aftermarket aviation parts, has taken first prize in the 2016 Atlanta Metro Export Challenge, a JPMorgan Chase-powered grant program created to support the exporting programs of companies.

Aventure, which already brings in some 80 percent of its sales from overseas, will use its $20,000 prize to go toward expanding into new markets.

An initial group of 35 grant recipients, who each received $5,000, was narrowed down to five finalists after a judging round in a "Shark Tank"-style pitch competition. The top three winners were selected through a combination of the judges' decisions and public voting.

“We are delighted the MEP has recognized the export growth potential in our region,” said Talha Faruqi, Aventure’s Vice President of Operations. “We look forward to their continued support and guidance as we pursue our goals.”

Aventure Aviation attended the F-16 and Proven Aircraft Technical Coordination Group (TCG) Worldwide Review, held September 12–15 in Ogden.

The event allows members to gather in one location to discuss common issues and meet with F-16 vendors and representatives.

"TCG is always a wonderful opportunity to discuss our capabilities with receptive F-16 users from all over the world," said Walid Zaatarah, Managing Director for Aventure Aviation Middle East.
