As the country’s infrastructure continues to mature and accommodate private aircraft and restrictions on airspace use are relaxed, the market will grow dramatically. This is why we continue to aggressively pursue the appropriate placement of sales and support representatives in this region, and why we’re pleased to participate in this show.”
