What trends and opportunities await our industry? What strategic challenges and risks are we set to face in the year ahead? Discussions will cover Europe's aviation relations with the world, a post Brexit world and its repercussions, North America's approach to open skies, how open skies have helped Asia's emerging markets, Africa and SAATM, airport privatisation and infrastructure, air cargo and industry sustainability.
Last year, at the inaugural CAPA Qatar Aeropolitical and Regulatory Summit, it was claimed that "aviation remains trapped in a web of protectionism". National University of Singapore professor of aviation law Alan Tan noted "most states are enamoured by the outdated, archaic idea that flagship carriers are spreading the brand of the nation".
European Commission director general mobility and transport Henrik Hololei noted that aviation is not punching above its weight when it comes to government importance. "It is not necessarily seen on a political agenda to the level its statistics suggest," he explained.
The current alliance system was described as "old fashioned" by Qatar Airways Group CEO Akbar Al Baker, who claimed they simply allow airlines to "burn miles on each other and use their lounges". Meanwhile, Arab Air Carriers Association secretary general Abdul Wahab Teffaha stated "fair competition is like beauty, it is in the eyes of the beholder".

It's hardly a secret that the airline industry is facing myriad challenges, notably in the marketing and distribution areas, as companies with personalised data, and the analytics and artificial intelligence to go with it, become greater threats to the stability of the traditional airline model.
This event, hosted at the Sheraton Grand Doha Resort & Convention Hotel, is a forum for debate and discussion of strategic issues facing the aviation industry and it is attracting delegate interest from across the globe.
