Reasons for cautious optimism as air travel re-starts (Air Passenger Forecast update)
Travel remains restricted in many countries around the world, but an increasing number of routes are starting to open up. We will discuss the extent to which an easing of restrictions is likely in the second half of this year and beyond; on which types of route this is most likely; how much this restored capacity will be supported by passenger demand; and major risks to the outlook. Current trends will be described as well as the key drivers of demand for both a short- and longer-run outlook. Major risk factors and reasons for some continued caution in the outlook, including the potential proliferation of new variants, will also be highlighted.
Please note that we will be repeating the same webinar to cater for the difference in time zones between EMEA, the Americas and APAC:
- EMEA – Wednesday 28th July | 10:00 BST
- Americas – Wednesday 28th July | 16:00 EDT
- APAC – Thursday 29th July | 10:00 HKT

Sustainability risk is business risk
Sustainability risk is business risk. Companies are vulnerable to disruption to their business activities from a wide range of sources, this includes climate change, nature loss, and human rights issues. Much of this exposure to risk is ‘hidden’ as it materialises in a company’s supply chain. For example, a company may be exposed to economic disruption many tiers up their supply chains from sustainability-related risks in seemingly unrelated countries and sectors. This disruption can work its way to the company’s operations affecting its ability to conduct business, and reducing its ability to make a profit. Better understanding and managing these risks will enable better risk management, and more resilient businesses. Join us for a 30-minute discussion as we explore the often-hidden sustainability risk to businesses, including what they are and how they can be identified and managed.
