Statement from the Organisers of the Dubai Lynx

27 May 2009 – Following the events of Dubai Lynx 2009, the organisers have been in consultation with industry leaders in the MENA region and beyond. To establish the way forward industry opinion has been gathered from both the organisers of Dubai Lynx and the IAA UAE board
