Leaders of some of the world’s major airlines will debate key issues that will shape the future of the aviation industry at the 2nd Annual Doha Aviation Summit which will be held at the Grand Hyatt Hotel from 30 October 30 to 01 November 2010.
Those issues include the drive for greater airline efficiency and the quest for growth in the post-recession period, the effectiveness of aviation bilateral agreements and managing airlines in a crisis, among others.
A 60 minute question and answer session with Akbar Al Baker, CEO of Qatar Airways and Adel Ali, CEO of Air Arabia, and Monhla Hlahla, CEO of Airports Company South Africa will respond to questions over international regulation and route capacities which could reignite tension between the airlines in more mature markets with those intent on rapid development.
Other topics for discussion include: the human resources challenge in the Arab world; sustainability and uncertainty over aviation emissions regulation; and ‘towards world class airports.
In addition, the Doha Aviation Summit will feature the Leaders in Aviation Awards which will recognize and reward individuals and organizations for their contribution to the industry.
