Aviation is among the industries most impacted by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East: as jet fuel prices rise, airlines’ razor-thin operating margins are placed under even greater strain.

Join us at 11AM BST next Thursday 16th July for a free 45-minute webinar with World Aviation Festival Editor Elsie Clark and industry analyst John Strickland. Together, they’ll will discuss how the industry can best manage these ongoing challenges.

Looking at financial reports, aircraft orders, and potential mergers and acquisitions, they’ll analyse how the industry has reacted so far. They’ll also consider what we might expect to see heading into the winter months, as well as strategies for making operations as efficient as possible while fuel prices remain high.

The informative session will include a dedicated Q&A. Register now to secure your place. If you’re unable to join us, a recording of the webinar will be circulated to all registrants and a summary will also be posted here on the blog.
