Military Airlift: Current Missions and Capability

SMi Group’s 15th Annual Military Airlift: Current Missions and Capability 2014 will be held on 2nd-3rd December 2014 in Italy's capital Rome. The conference will focus particularly on ongoing missions being carried out across the world and how the correct and appropriate airlift capability is deployed and the development of new capability. There will also be an emphasis on the changing landscape of airlift with changes in multinational commands such as the EATC, the specific challenges posed by African missions including Operation Sangaris in Central Africa and much more.

The SMi Group’s Military Airlift event has been running for fifteen years and is the largest and best supported conference of its kind in Europe. We have the support of many significant multinational commands in Europe such as the European Air Group and Movement Coordination Centre Europe as well as Air Forces from across Europe.

Last year’s event in conjunction with the Spanish Air Force was a huge success and because of the launch of the A400 M we held the event in Seville to include a site visit to the Airbus Military Facility.

This year, we have the full support of the Italian Air Force and the programme will feature some key speakers from the host nation. We also have a fantastic opportunity for all delegates to attend a Post-Conference site visit on 4th December to Pratica di Mare Airbase featuring the KC 767 Tanker by Boeing for Italian Air Force, the launch customer for the aircraft.
