My Objectives and Aspirations for Being Involved in Cedar Routes:
- The multiple talents and capabilities represented by this impressive group extend far beyond civil aviation. It also includes expertise in aerospace and a wide range of other aviation-related industries. This valuable pool of knowledge should be used to harness and channel the wealth of talent that exists in Lebanon`s excellent academic and technical institutions to develop new ideas designed not only to enhance the contribution of great historical sites in terms of tourism development, but more importantly to identify potential synergies in the various aviation-related industries that exist in Lebanon and throughout the region. This requires good ideas, knowledge, opportunity, financing, entrepreneurial spirit - and a willingness to take risks.
