Defence Turkey: Did IDEF ‘19 meet your expectations? Did you have an opportunity to meet with the SSB or MoND?

Edward DRYDEN: IDEF more than met my expectations. I’ve visited many shows in the past but I think that the breadth of products, systems and solutions that are here at IDEF certainly makes it stand out for me. It’s a fantastic opportunity to meet with customers and suppliers and potential partners in Turkey. It’s a great opportunity to really meet and look for those opportunities where we can reinforce the unmatched potential and value Collins Aerospace will bring to customers to advance the aerospace and defence industry. As you know, with the bidding and engaging with HürJet and TF-X it’s not just dealing with Turkish Aerospace, it’s a joint effort between Turkish Aerospace and the SSB, so we’ve had the opportunity to talk together.
