CAPA Aviation Awards for Excellence 2019: Nominations now open

Analysis

CAPA - Centre for Aviation (CAPA) welcomes nominations from across the aviation industry for the 16th annual CAPA Aviation Awards for Excellence.

Established in 2003, the awards focus on recognising successful airlines, airports and related businesses (i) within the Asia Pacific region, and (ii) Global Awards, acknowledging excellence on the global stage.

In a year when global trade uncertainty exists and many indicators point to challenging times for airlines and airports, the importance of strategic leadership is never more important.

Merely repeating well-tried solutions may not be enough to weather changes in both the operating environment and in airline distribution.

  • The awards recognize successful airlines, airports, and related businesses in the Asia Pacific region and globally.
  • The awards focus on strategic leadership and innovation in the aviation industry.

  • The CAPA Global Awards for Excellence will be announced in Malta on December 5, 2019.
