Conference session 2

Senior leadership panel – the challenges ahead beyond sustainability
With discussions in our post-recovery world mainly focussed on sustainability and our mission to decarbonise, what other challenges have been shadowing our industry and how serious are they? The pressing issue of a global skills shortage, for both crew and engineering, is a critical concern, together with matters closer to home in Europe such as boosting regional connectivity, competition and consolidation. What are the challenges for our industry beyond the sphere of sustainability and how can we ensure air transport’s growth and prosperity? This session will be moderated by Wouter van Wersch, Executive Vice President, President of Region & Sales – Europe, Airbus and include contributions from:
• Ahmed Aly, CEO, TUS Airways
• Teresa Gonçalves, CEO, Azores Airlines
• Tanja Grobotek, Director European Affairs, CANSO Europe
• Jiri Marek, CEO, Air Serbia
