Air Passenger Forecasts Webinar: Growth outlook defies macroeconomic challenges

Date: Wednesday 27 September 2023
Time: Global Sessions (EMEA, APAC and Americas sessions. See exact timings in the note section below)

Despite a subdued macroeconomic backdrop, air passenger traffic growth has remained steady through to July. Further, ticket sales indicate sustained demand in the months ahead. In this webinar we will discuss the industry’s recent performance, its short and long-run prospects, and the underlying macroeconomic climate. Potential risks which could derail the outlook will also be explored.

Note: Please note that we will be holding one webinar each for APAC (10am HKT), EMEA (10am BST), and Americas (11am & 4pm EDT) friendly time zones. Can’t make it to any of the sessions? Feel free to register for any session and we will automatically share the recording with you 3 hours after the webinar has finished.
