7– 9 August 2015

Step on board a plane anywhere in the world and it is more than likely that you will be making yourself comfortable in a seat made right here, in the shadow of the beautiful Mourne Mountains.

At B/E Aerospace Kilkeel we manufacture around one third of the world’s airline seats. Our County Down factory is part of B/E Aerospace, the world’s leading manufacturer of aircraft cabin interior products, which designs, develops, and manufactures a broad range of products for both commercial aircraft and business jets. Founded on a passion for innovation, we are relentless in our pursuit to answer every challenge and deliver a new best: an ethos which underpins our diverse programme of community engagement as well as our approach to business.

Our passion for aviation is evident in everything we do. Through our longstanding support for

the B/E Aerospace Festival of Flight, created and staged by Newry, Mourne and Down District Council, we are delighted to take this opportunity to share that passion not only with local communities, but also with more than 100,000 visitors to the region.

Amongst that appreciative audience will be many of our own employees and their families, together with some of our international customers, all enjoying an event which has earned recognition as one of Ireland’s biggest and most exciting air shows; a thrilling annual highlight of the region’s busy Summer events schedule.

The B/E Aerospace Festival of Flight delivers stunning airborne spectacle, complemented by a lively ground level programme of family-friendly events and attractions. The combination of a world-class aerial display and world-famous location create a powerful draw and one which makes an

important contribution to the region’s tourism economy. We are confident that many of those who initially come to see the drama in the skies will return to enjoy our dramatic scenery at their leisure.

Our congratulations go to Newry, Mourne and Down District Council for the vision and commitment they have shown in developing this exciting initiative and, on behalf of all who will enjoy the occasion, our thanks go to the many agencies, organisations and enthusiasts who give their time and expertise to deliver the adrenaline-packed programme.
