    With tariffs and economic conflict becoming reality, ongoing wars in Europe & the Middle East, not to mention increasing hostility towards business jets and billionaire shaming, private aviation faces a number of headwinds.

    Far from showing doom & gloom however, the data shows stable activity and is seeing small signs of growth. How do brokers and operators see current demand and how does the industry need to adapt to the current global environment?  

    Our industry panel provide expertise and unique insights on the market you won’t want to miss.

    RSVP

  • Tour Operators & the Charter Market

    Linzi Barber, commercial aviation professional

    Jochen Schnadt, Fly4 Airlines

    John Tangney, Tangney Tours

    Demand for holidays remains strong with one major operator increasing capacity by 8.5% for S25.

    Can the market sustain this growth long-term and will the major players become increasingly dominant or will the independents thrive alongside? How will this affect aircraft availability for the charter market?

    Hear our specialist panel give their thoughts on capacity and future growth in this key part of the industry.

    RSVP
