Commonwealth Business Media finds continued success with international
aviation exhibitions in the face of turbulent economic times

EAST WINDSOR, N.J., Oct. 23 /PRNewswire/ — Commonwealth Business
Media, a subsidiary of United Business Media Ltd., announced today
continued growth in its aviation exhibition business.

Aviation Industry Group, based in London, focusing on the commercial
aviation industry is continuing to show positive growth of its events
products. The Airline Purchasing Expo
(http://www.aviationindustrygroup.com) is well on its way to being sold out
for 2009 anticipating that revenue growth will exceed 300% over 2006 when
the exhibition first moved to the London Olympia Exhibitions arena.

The exhibition brings together the key buyers in the Technical Airline
Procurement, Component and Maintenance Industry with leading companies in
Manufacturing, Components, Avionics/Instrumentation, Interiors, Aircraft
Maintenance, Repair Stations and Distribution/Logistics.

The exhibition is supplemented by two conferences, which take place at
the event, as well as ‘meet the airline’ and ‘meet the supplier’
speed-dating opportunities. For the first time in 2008 the Airline
Purchasing Expo also hosted the Aircraft Maintenance Outsourcing Europe
Expo. The latter has proven popular with MRO exhibitors in view of the
close liaison between airline purchasing, engineering and maintenance
personnel when making outsourcing decisions.

Attendance at the show has grown from 1,040 attendees in 2006 to over
1,800 in 2008, a 42% increase, with over 2250 attendees expected in 2009.
Paul Copping, Managing Director of AIG says “this show has been phenomenal
for us. It demonstrates that if you have the right product in the right
market at the right time you can succeed despite a weakening economy.”
