Ireland and the UK will undertake their first ever joint trade mission at the Singapore Airshow - Asia's largest airshow.
The trade mission is part of a programme of cooperation to strengthen relations over the next decade led by UK prime minister David Cameron and Irish Taoiseach Enda Kenny.
It is being headed up by Ireland's jobs minister Richard Bruton, UK transport minister Stephen Hammond and Northern Ireland enterprise minister Arlene Foster with support from UK Trade & Investment (UKTI),Enterprise Ireland and Invest Northern Ireland.
Bruton said the mission was an important part of a “wider programme of cooperation between Ireland and the UK”.
"The aerospace industry is one of Ireland's most valuable and technically advanced industries. Today, Ireland is recognised as a leading location for aviation, MRO, technology, engineering and aviation finance.
"This first joint mission has attracted an impressive list of companies from Ireland, Northern Ireland and the UK that will demonstrate our considerable combined strengths in the aerospace sector at Asia's largest air show."
