CAPA comes to America! Las Vegas CAPA Americas Aviation Summit in April 2015

CAPA - Centre for Aviation will hold the inaugural CAPA Americas Aviation Summit, to be hosted by the Las Vegas Convention & Visitors Authority and McCarran International Airport, on 27/28 April 2015.

CAPA will convene five airline CEO Summits in 2015, one in each of the major regions, as well as its annual Asian Airline Finance Summit in March in Singapore.

Peter Harbison, Executive Chairman of CAPA, said "We're delighted to bring something different to the US conference landscape. CAPA's Aviation Summits have a simple formula: We gather airline CEOs together for candid and high-level discussions in a superb environment, and encourage them to stay on longer. This makes for entertaining and challenging discussions, as well as high level networking for our delegates. Our industry continues to evolve rapidly - incumbent airlines are adapting to the challenges and transforming their businesses, while emerging markets like Asia and Latin America are creating huge opportunities for the industry.

"Meanwhile, airline alliances are evolving, Gulf carriers are extending their influence, corporate travel is adapting to an era of austerity and a raft of technological change is driving new responses by airlines. It all adds up to an exotic strategy mix for airline executives - and some fascinating topics for discussion at our Summits".
