Where to next for European aviation?

Avoiding the pitfalls of 2022
Where to next for European aviation?

European aviation may be back to around 90% of pre-pandemic traffic levels, but 2022, and especially the busy summer season, has been hugely turbulent. Staff shortages across the value chain have created a perfect storm for travellers, while rising fuel costs and spiralling inflation triggered by Putin’s war of aggression in Ukraine threaten a difficult winter for aviation and for Europe’s citizens.

To take us through a rollercoaster year, we have invited a stellar cast of industry thought-leaders to share their insights and identify what needs fixing immediately, as well as examine the major trends for European aviation in the medium term.
