CAPA – Centre for Aviation (CAPA) is extending its global thought leadership event calendar to include a dedicated Canada Aviation Summit, held in Winnipeg on 9/10-Sep-2019.

Canada's airline and airport systems include many features unique to that country and there has been a dearth of public discussion on many of the key strategy areas. CAPA's high level Summit will seek to address many topical issues. As a flurry of new airline entry appears in the market, a novel level of turbulence is creating waves.

With industry leaders from Air Canada, WestJet, Transat, Swoop, Sunwing, Flair, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, United, Air China, Cathay Pacific, major Canadian airports, academics, government officials and many more, the level of discussion is guaranteed to generate many thought provoking moments. Emirates President Sir Tim Clark will also deliver his thoughts on the Canadian system via video.

Supported by Winnipeg Airports Authority, the 2-day Summit is expected to attract over 250 delegates, making it one of the most sought after strategic events of its kind in the region.
