Advanced air mobility is a market largely being driven by startups new to aviation challenging the “business as usual” approach to air travel. Honeywell Aerospace is one of the first, and biggest, of the established system suppliers to fully embrace this new industry, seeing it as a catalyst to bring an entirely new generation of avionics, in terms of capability and cost, to the wider aviation market that it already services. How does Honeywell see this new sector evolving and how it is placing its bets? Join us to find out.

The Asia-Pacific region was initially hit hard by the pandemic, probably more so than the other regions. But some of the key Asia-Pacific markets have also recovered more quickly than those in other parts of the world. While borders generally remain closed, or are subject to quarantine restrictions that have a similar effect on travel, there have been some so-called green lanes established for essential travel, but in general the hoped-for travel bubbles have been slow to develop.

Recent weeks have seen increased waves of the virus resurfacing in countries who had believed to have COVID-19 under control. This return however is not unexpected and has emphasised the need for practical, data-driven steps to opening up in a safe means. In this session we explore these methods and provide clear examples of required action. 

• How are markets performing in Asia-Pacific? 
• What practical, data-driven steps should each country take to opening up? 
• Are governments investing enough in technology, processes, infrastructure?  
• What impact is this having on hubs like Singapore? 
• Are bilateral corridors effective in opening up markets?

It cannot be denied that leading any part of an airline in 2021 is going to look very different than ever before. The impact of COVID-19 has required all airlines to reassess their processes, innovate and adapt to a new world order.

In November, CAPA’s Chairman Emeritus stated: “It is important to have some sort of reality check now that we’re nine months on from the onset of this COVID-19 disaster. Fundamentally, we’re looking at a new platform from which the industry will build over the next decade.

What will the new situation be like? Most people realise now, unless they're really deluding themselves, that it is going to be a structurally very different industry”.

As we look further into 2021, we ask key airline executives to explore how they will run their business differently and what they expect from the year ahead.

• How has COVID-19 impacted processes within airline management?

• How has the additional focus of staff and passenger safety changed the way airlines are run?

• What will recovery look like?

On 01-Apr-2020, ex-IAG CEO, Willie Walsh officially took on the role of Director General of IATA, succeeding Alexandre de Juniac.

In a statement released to the industry, Mr Walsh said: “I am passionate about our industry and about the critical work that IATA does on behalf of its members, never more so than during the COVID-19 crisis. IATA has been at the forefront of efforts to restart global connectivity, including developing the IATA Travel Pass. Less visible but of equal importance, airlines continue to rely on IATA’s financial settlement systems, Timatic and other vital services to support their day-to-day operations. I am grateful to Alexandre for leaving behind a strong organization and a motivated team. Together, the IATA team is absolutely focused on restoring the freedom of movement that airlines provide to billions of people around the world. That means your freedom to visit friends and family, to meet critical business partners, to secure and retain vital contracts, and to explore our wonderful planet.”

In this catch-up we explore Mr Walsh’s plans for the future of IATA, the IATA Travel Pass and delve into some of the key data points captured by the association.
