Bringing Washington's aircraft interiors industry to a global stage
Washington has long been a hub for entrepreneurs and innovators. From Bill Boeing’s early seaplane production on the Duwamish river to today’s commercial satellite constellations, Washington has built a $71 billion aerospace industry, reflecting a steady rollout of innovation brought to market over the past century. It’s simply a remarkable evolution. Innovation is a part of our DNA and nowhere is that more apparent than in aerospace.
At Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX), Commerce is proud to lead a delegation of Washington companies offering world-class products and services to a global stage. This is the industry’s premier international supply chain event for buyers, designers and experts who focus on enhancing the passenger experience on every airplane that flies, today. As an efficient export hub with an expert entrepreneurial workforce, we are eager to do business with you. Come and visit us at Aircraft Interiors Expo. We invite you to familiarize yourself with those joining our Washington state delegation.
