With Aircraft Interiors Expo cancelled for 2020 and uncertainty about how and when the industry will come together in person again a new plan is emerging. Spearheaded by Inmarsat Aviation and backed by APEX and other industry leaders, the day-long live-streamed webinar series ‘FlightPlan: Charting a Course into the Future’ will examine the current state of the aviation market and the latest predictions for recovery. The event takes place on 29 April 2020 and registration is now open for this free event.
Inmarsat and APEX have developed FlightPlan as a platform that brings these people together to share information, insight and direction at this pivotal moment. It has already received an extremely positive response and we look forward to welcoming anyone that works in the industry or has an interest in aviation to register their interest online and join us on the day.
– Dominic Walters, Vice President of Inmarsat Aviation
The goals of FlightPlan extend well beyond rehashing the economic impact of COVID-19 or discussing the recovery models for airlines and the industry. Discussions will cover wider industry issues, from next generation passenger trends and the future of air travel technology to short and long-term solutions for tackling aviation sustainability. In addition, the live-streamed event will include global and regional news updates, as well as a state of the industry analysis.
