Aviation Leaders Renew Commitment to the Doha Declaration

CAPA - Centre for Aviation, the world's most trusted source of market intelligence for the aviation and travel industry, together with award-winning Qatar Airways, have renewed their commitment to the Doha Declaration, this year citing sustainability as the key focus. The second iteration has been penned off the back of the 2020 CAPA Qatar Aviation, Aeropolitical and Regulatory Summit in Doha, Qatar on 5-6 February.

The maiden Doha Declaration was announced following the sell-out inaugural CAPA Qatar Aviation, Aeropolitical and Regulatory Summit held in 2019, and called into question the modern-day relevance of the global aviation principals outlined in the Chicago Convention, released more than 75 years ago. The original manifesto addressed liberation of the skies, market access, sustainability and active engagement in aeropolitical discussion at the highest level, and urged aviation stakeholders around the world to join in support of the "business of freedom".

Based on the critical discussions held at this years' Summit, CAPA and Qatar Airways have zeroed in on the growing impact of sustainability on the industry.
