Alabama’s aviation and aerospace industry continues to soar.

Hoar Program Management (HPM), a Birmingham-based program management firm, is taking part in the 2023 Paris Air Show and trade fair. The 2023 show will mark almost 10 years of the company’s participation in the event.

HPM President Ryan Austin, Vice President of Business Development Jay Daily, and Vice President of Business Development Andi Sims will be attending the event, which will be the first to take place since 2019 after a COVID-19 cancellation in 2021.

“After a hiatus due to the pandemic, we are thrilled to be back in Paris once again collaborating with our peers and clients within the aerospace and aviation industries,” Austin said. “There is no better place to discover the very best in aerospace, and the level of innovation and connectivity at the Paris Air Show is unparalleled.

“We look forward to showcasing our capabilities alongside the best in the business, and as our offerings and specialized expertise in the sector continues to grow, we are excited to strengthen HPM’s presence at the air show as the years progress.”

The event is June 19-25 at the Paris–Le Bourget Airport. It is organized by the French Aerospace Industries Association and features more than 2,500 companies.
