Langkawi International Maritime & Aerospace Exhibition '93

A proposal to organise an international maritime and aerospace exhibition was forwarded to the Government in 1990. The proposal was approved as it was consistent with government’s programmers to develop maritime and aerospace technology in the country. The government decided that the exhibition be held at Langkawi, an island situated in the north of Peninsular Malaysia between latitude 6 10’N to 6 30’N and longitude 99 35’E to 100 00’E. The aim of having the exhibition in Langkawi was to develop the island commercially especially in the fields of maritime and aerospace and at the same time to promote the island as a popular tourist destination. The first Langkwai International Maritime & Aerospace Exhibition was held in Langkwai from 11 - 15 November 1991.
