According to Josh Earnest, SVP and COO of United Airlines, the aviation industry is now past the point of shock and awe and is instead focused on the recovery stage.
I’m therefore delighted to be participating once again in FlightPlan, the aviation industry’s largest-ever virtual assembly which returns on 10 November.
Hosted by Inmarsat and APEX, the unique event will delve into the industry’s biggest challenges in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and explore strategies to accelerate recovery.
The discussion will be open and wide-ranging, with an emphasis on technology and innovation, passenger experience, airline operations, sustainability and digital transformation. A key highlight will be the results of the largest global passenger confidence survey completed since the pandemic began.
Philip Balaam, President of Inmarsat Aviation, said aviation has proven itself to be a more resilient industry than most and, once this pandemic is finally contained, airlines must be given a fighting chance to lead a global economic recovery by re-connecting the world. ‘FlightPlan: Strategies for Recovery’ returns on 10 November to give the industry a much-needed shot in the arm.”
Dr Joe Leader, Chief Executive Officer of APEX, added: “The event will delve into the solutions and strategies that will genuinely advance aviation into recovery. We are moving into an era where blockade-like quarantines will be replaced with strongly validated testing. We are flying forward in a manner where, despite the challenges, our airline industry sees the light of returned success on the horizon for 2021.”
I’ve already finished recording some fascinating interviews, which you will see on the day, and more are lined up from leading industry voices.
