The travel and tourism sector in the Australia Pacific region faces a mixed outlook. While travel is close to a full recovery, profits are falling across the sector as travellers are becoming increasingly concerned about stretching their dollars. While there are still plenty of upsides, there are also threatening clouds on the horizon.
With this in mind, the 2025 edition of the CAPA Airline Leader Summit Australia Pacific is set to examine the topics that matter most to the industry. This ranges from regional forecasts for airline capacity, developments in consumer and passenger spending, changes in thinking around tourism and the influence of impending government regulations on travel.
CAPA - Centre for Aviation, Events Director, Claudia Kunz, said:
"We are delighted to be bringing CAPA's home Summit to Cairns, Australia in 2025.

As we gather industry leaders, government officials, and experts from around the globe, our goal is to foster insightful discussions and provide actionable intelligence that will shape the future of air travel. We look forward to a productive two days of knowledge exchange and networking in Cairns."
Cairns Airport, CEO, Richard Barker commented:
"We are thrilled CAPA has selected Cairns to host the Airline Leader Summit Australia Pacific 2025. This is a fantastic opportunity to welcome the cream of the region's aviation sector to the northern gateway of Australia. For new visitors to our region, and those returning, we hope to showcase why Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef remain iconic drawcards for international visitors and why Cairns Airport is working closely with its airline partners to increase air access options to Tropical North Queensland."
The summit will bring together strategic insight and expertise from the highest levels of the aviation, tourism and hospitality industries.
