CAPA Global Aviation Summit Amsterdam

Friday 28 October
08:00	(Breakfast session in room Heian I): CAPA Airline & Airport Network Planning Masterclass Many airports across Europe have enjoyed strong growth in air services over the past two years, and more carriers are on the horizon. Air services incentives can help attract new airlines, but getting the marketing right is the tricky part. Tourism bodies have ever-shrinking budgets and divided loyalties – so do airports have to reach further down the value chain to ensure new air services stick? Will the dominant carriers with the best marketing come to marginalise the smaller ones? For airports with scarce slots/capacity, how to decide which carriers/routes to focus on? How do airlines set fares? Presenters: Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, Manager Traffic Analysis & Forecasting, Berend Onnes KLM, VP Network Planning, Pieter Groeneveld

10:30	China’s role in International aviation – and tourism – in 2025 China is already reshaping tourism goals of many destination countries, with up to 50% year on year increases in some cases. But China will also reshape the way the industry works – for example with multiple interest tourism and travel equity acquisitions. As China’s airlines proliferate and new gateways open up, there will be surprises; and many opportunities. One belt one road connectivity – aviation could play a big enabling role, but what will be the headwinds?

12:30	Closing Joint General Session: Meeting The 'Brexit' Challenge! The United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union threatens significant changes to international aviation regulation, border control, immigration, non-resident work rules, and regulation governing issues that could ultimately determine traffic flows, airfares and impact travellers. Even duty of care is affected. Short term implications, like plunging global markets, reflect the uncertainty and speculation that fill the void of fact. This international dialogue will be based on the best analytical data available, and provide an industry-wide forum to suggest new paths, new policies, and better solutions to the current tangle of politics and economics. Discover the extent of your “Brexit” exposure, while exploring ways to soften the impact.
