For 7 years, the Winter Aviation Summit (WAS) has been bringing together a highly selected community of business aviation dealmakers; people who buy, sell, operate, maintain, finance, and advise on aircraft sales. From its unique setup in Vevey, Switzerland, The WAS is a staple conference for international professionals in the business aviation industry covering all aspects of the sector: bankers, lawyers, manufacturers, fiscal experts, pilots, brokers, and more.
OOAK AGENCY is teaming up with Elite Wings to bring this unique event to North America for the summer of 2023. The Summer Aviation Summit (SAS) will be hosted in Montreal, Canada.
