Qatar Airways (QA) will be hosting aviation industry leaders from across the globe following the announcement of the speaker line-up for the inaugural ‘CAPA Qatar Aviation, Aeropolitical and Regulatory Summit’ to be held in Doha on February 5-6.
The high-level forum, the first aeropolitical event of its kind to be held in the Middle East, will feature more than 35 experts from across the airline, legal and government sectors. They will be discussing the latest developments in international aviation regulations, in the Gulf region and globally.
Senior decision-makers from across the international aviation industry are set to attend the two-day event, which will also include a gala dinner hosted by Qatar Airways.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Akbar al Baker said, “With so many developments in the rapidly-evolving airline industry and the global regulatory environment, we are delighted to see such a wealth of industry experts have been lined-up for the inaugural summit.
“We look forward to welcoming them to Doha and to engaging in some meaningful discussion on the issues and challenges faced by the global industry, as well as developments in aircraft technology and airspace capacity.”
Key international industry speakers set to present at the event include Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Akbar al Baker; IATA Director-General and CEO Alexandre de Juniac; European Commission Director-General Mobility and Transport Henrik Hololei; US Department of Transportation Director, Office of International Aviation Brian Hedberg; FedEx Express Senior Vice-President and General Counsel Rush O’Keefe.
Others are Malaysian Aviation Commission (MAVCOM) Director of Aviation Development Germal Singh Khera; JetBlue Airways Senior Vice-President Government Affairs and General Counsel Robert Land and African Airlines Association (AFRAA) Secretary-General Abderahmane Berthe.
Registrations are still open for the event and delegates can register their participation through the https://qatar19.capaevents.com/home
CAPA – Centre for Aviation Executive (CAPA) Chairman Peter Harbison said, “For an industry as global as the airline business, it seems impossible that there could be major constraints on international cooperation and national ownership.
“But there is a growing belief in the airline industry that the 70-year-old provisions restricting the foreign ownership and control of airlines are archaic and should be significantly liberalised or abolished. Whether that can happen or not depends on establishing a powerful case for a new system. Bringing together the industry’s leaders under one roof to discuss these issues is one step in that direction.”More than 35 industry experts to speak at the event
