CAPA Live September 2021 Highlight: Tony Douglas Group CEO Etihad
Network Planning was almost like an annual cycle as part of next year's budget. Even pre-pandemic for Etihad every three or four weeks we'd do a big deep dive in terms of adjustments to our network. It's almost a daily dynamic activity right now. The 56 or so destinations we fly into, one might have been on a red list yesterday and is on the green list today, and somewhere else might have been green yesterday and is now red.

CAPA Live September 2021 Highlight: Ed Sims President and CEO WestJet
One of the key lessons that's come out of COVID for me is that airlines like WestJet can become too dependent on commercial passenger traffic and not develop more ancillary revenue streams, whether that's through the rewards and frequent flyer programmes or whether that's through areas like cargo.

CAPA Live September 2021 Highlight: Air New Zealand's Chief Operational Integrity and Safety Officer, Capt. David Morgan talks sustainability efforts
As far as Air New Zealand is concerned, we see sustainability as a clear platform in our strategy. And the reason for that is because the clock is ticking. The industry has got commitments to live up to and to deliver, and as long as we prevaricate and delay, we're not going to, as an industry, solve the problem that we have to solve. Fundamentally, for us, it's about decarbonisation. And decarbonisation is largely achieved by two things. One is zero emissions aircraft and the other is a sustainable aviation fuel supply chain and production."
