Langkawi International Maritime and Air Show
- Langkawi International Maritime and Air Show
Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition (LIMA) brings together the latest technology and products from the aerospace industries. LIMA is now established as one of the major airshow in the world. As a biennial event, the next series will be held in Langkawi Island, Malaysia in 2009. It will be held at the Mahsuri International Exhibition Centre (MIEC), only a stone's throw away from Langkawi International Airport.
A brainchild of Malaysia's former Prime Minister, Dr Mahathir bin Mohamad, LIMA series of exhibition has proven to be an excellent platform for aerospace manufacturers and related industries to display and promote the latest aerospace technology to senior Government officials, both civil and military and leaders of industries from Malaysia as well as the Asia Pacific region. It represents a unique showcase for both the aerospace and maritime industries in the fast-expanding Asian commercial aviation, airport and defence markets.
What began in 1991 with the aim of making Langkawi as the venue for light and experimental aircraft to fly unhampered by heavy traffic modelled after the EAA AirVenture in the USA, LIMA is now on the world's airshow calendar where major players cannot afford to miss. Unlike anywhere in the world a four-hour flying display is held daily throughout the show and is a definite crowd puller. Almost at every LIMA business deals were clinched as well as memorandum of understanding was signed. The LIMA '03 exhibition for example generated business totaling RM 2.182 Billion (USD 575 million) through 30 contracts, letter of offer and acceptance or intent and memorandum of understanding.
