Corporate air travel market being transformed: CAPA Events to follow Sydney with Amsterdam summit

Corporate travel remains a critical sector for airlines but rapid change is making it increasingly challenging to navigate for both buyers and suppliers. Competition is intensifying as full-service carriers continue to introduce product improvements and as an increasing number of low-cost carriers start to target corporate buyers. At the same time corporate buyers are seeking to cut costs and leverage new technology to make smarter travel decisions while taking advantage of the cut throat competition.

One month ago CAPA held its inaugural Corporate Travel Innovation Summit in tandem with CAPA's Australia Pacific Aviation conference in Sydney. The one-day summit featured over 30 panellists and more than 160 delegates from across the corporate travel sector, including leading airlines, corporate travel agents and corporate travel buyers. CAPA's successful foray into the dynamic corporate travel sector will be followed by the Corporate Travel Innovation World Summit 2013, which will be held in Amsterdam on 25-Nov-2013 in parallel with the 2013 CAPA World Aviation Summit and CAPA Aviation Awards for Excellence.
