Welcome

      MAKS is primarily a demonstration of advantages and development trends of Russian science and industry in such high-tech areas as aviation, space, missile engineering. It is also a good opportunity to prove high potential of our facilities, to establish new partnerships and make mutually beneficial deals.
     Due to participation of leading international and Russian aviation manufacturers that present their recent developments and engineering achievements, the Aviation salon is ranked high by specialists and can by right be named among world's most famous aviation. Business communication among scientists, engineers, technologists, managers and other specialists during MAKS 2009 will encourage a more efficient dialog between the government and business structures in the current economic climate. The organizers and sponsors of the event take great efforts to make exhibition conditions for participants more comfortable and also to provide best service for common visitors.  
      The following is will be done in this regard: 
      - modern temporary exhibition halls will be built in order to create more comfortable atmosphere for exhibitors and to provide best service for common visitors;
      - the length of the static display will be downsized due to the addition of areas to efficiently accommodate the samples of aircrafts and to create comfortable conditions for observation of aircrafts.  
      - the exhibition site will be equipped with a Business Center which will include a well-furnished Press Center, conference halls, the on-site exhibition office and service center (this will ensure effective business communication of the exhibitors and businessmen);
      - transport accessibility and security pass control  will be improved;
      - children under 14 will be allowed to the exhibition for free due to MAKS 2009 Children's Program. 
      I hope that all renovations mentioned above can allow us to make participants, guests and visitors of  MAKS 2009 satisfied with the upcoming Aviation Salon.
