The key to restoring international travel Restoring confidence, global solutions, building business

Aviation has been shell-shocked by the impact of Covid-19 but with a pent-up demand for restriction-free travel how will the aviation industry help the tourism industry recover?
During this session our panel of experts will discuss a range of issues including; how airlines are deciding on which routes to restart and with the Middle East region being hit particularly badly, how can governments help? Many are already reviewing disjointed regulation, but what more can they do? What is the future for long haul destinations with analysts reportedly predicting a slower return for wide-body long-haul aircraft? Could private aviation and other on-demand charter companies, carve out a niche for a more inclusive offer for the travelling public? Inevitably profitability will determine the strategy many airlines adopt, but how will that affect low-cost carriers and full-service carriers and in terms of sustainability how can airlines afford to embrace a more environmental corporate culture and still remain profitable and competitive? Will environmentally-conscious passengers be more forgiving initially?
