Masterclass: How Airlines Navigate the Winds of Change

Grounded aircraft. Brexit. Global pandemics. Travel bans. Inconsistent testing, quarantines. Bankruptcy. Soaring inflation. War. Airspace restrictions. Trade sanctions. Pilot shortages. Labor strife. Delivery delays. Jet fuel spikes. Climate change. 

Somehow, some way, airlines manage to navigate through this turbulence. How do airlines survive and thrive during such huge disruptions to travel demand and operations costs?

What are the keys to success in airline or aerospace government affairs? Is normalcy around the corner, and what will it look like? In this session, we’ll get insider tips for effective responses to crisis and events that can buffet smooth flying for the industry, with particular focus on the current state of the market  and how the industry can work with governments to:

• Ensure more rapid, uniform responses from governments in assistance.

• Advance methods for managing the COVID-19 virus as it evolves from a pandemic state to an endemic phase.

• Minimize aviation’s impact on the environment.

• Allow for consolidation and evolving ownership & control structures.
