NEW YORK, June 15, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Focused on commercial aviation maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO), Aviation Week Network’s MRO Baltics, Eastern Europe and Russia (#MROBEER), offered a relaxed and informal networking conference for industry representatives from the airlines, OEMs, suppliers, and service providers.
Held in Ljubljana, Slovenia, June 6-7, and hosted by Adria Tehnika, this regional event attracted delegates from 33 countries and was hailed by many as one of the best attended.

Next year’s event, taking place in May in Vilnius, Lithuania, will be hosted by FL Technics.”
