Speaker Highlights
Event Overview
The CAPA Americas Aviation Summit, to be held on 18-19 March 2019, will examine key commercial and operational issues affecting airlines and airports in the Americas, focusing on both US domestic issues and growth prospects in key international markets.
In line with previous editions of the Americas Aviation Summit, CAPA will challenge leaders of North America’s aviation industry to reflect on what is needed to drive the industry forward, using examples of innovation in outside markets as a benchmark to follow.
Industry rationalisation has helped the US majors enjoy very healthy profits over the last year. But this has not always been kind to airports which previously enjoyed hub status.
Also, the infrastructure that supports the airline industry’s growth is in urgent need of reform. Despite a decades-long acknowledgement that the country’s airports and air traffic management system needs to modernise, little progress has been made.
ULCCs are also making an impact, forcing the US majors to deploy an array of tactics to keep them at bay, in the form of segmented fare families and product unbundling. Further north, in Canada, ULCC start ups have injected renewed competition into the tightly held Canadian market.
Long haul low cost international operations are becoming a feature of the US-Europe market, introducing a new dynamic into the equation. These have until now been the territory of foreign airlines, but with airlines like the mid-cost/mid-frills jetBlue now about to embark on trans-Atlantic operations, a new era of competition could be in the wind.
Meanwhile, new aircraft technology is also reshaping route economics and opening up new markets in ultra long haul destinations to and from the continental US.
With aviation in a highly dynamic state, the CAPA Americas Aviation Summit 2019 will seek to tap into these changes and address the following issues:
We invite you to join us in Denver to engage in dynamic discussions and meet with senior decision makers from airlines, airports and industry suppliers.
