INDIA. Two of the most influential figures in India’s aviation industry are among further additions to an already outstanding programme for next month’s Trinity Forum in Mumbai (12-14 September).
The legendary GVK Reddy, Founder, Chairman and Managing Director of GVK will present an opening address, followed by Airports Authority of India Chairman Dr Guruprasa Mohapatra.
