Over 400 aviation industry professionals will gather to debate and discuss how they can work together to develop successful strategies for overcoming the challenges that the aviation industry has and will face in the coming 12-18 months, as well as capitalizing on the opportunities available in growth markets and new technologies. The summit will tackle key topics such as taxation, rising oil prices, aeropolitics, environmental factors, sustainable route development, economic development, and general regional perspectives on aviation and its continued industry growth.
