ASK THE EDITORS

One word: activity. Aircraft that are moving need maintenance. The Chinese market’s steady climb and indications that China’s government is eyeing the addition of more international flights (which have been severely limited compared to domestic activity, to help keep the novel coronavirus at bay) are positive signs. Word that U.S. carriers are steadily ramping back up adds more hope.

TODAY'S WEBINAR
 
As the markets in Asia-Pacific, China and Australasia begin to open and airlines and airports across the region restore their networks, traffic demand is returning. As the rest of the world follows, are there lessons learned that could be applied to other regions?

What are the economic and virus-control drivers across this vast region that are helping spur air travel restoration? How are LCCs faring against legacy carriers in the pick-up? Which countries have “air corridor/quarantine bubbles” and how is that affecting demand?

Former IATA Director General and CEO Tony Tyler will discuss these questions and more with ATW Editor-in-Chief Karen Walker. Tyler is a leading expert on the global air transport industry, having led IATA from 2011 to 2016. Before that, he spent 30 years at Hong Kong-based Cathay Pacific Airways, rising to the position of CEO. He is now on the boards of Qantas, Bombardier, Trans Maldivian Airways and lessor BOC Aviation.

Join us as Tyler discuses lessons from the Asia-Pacific area that can be learned by the regions of the world where most fleets remain grounded. This interactive webinar featuring audience questions will be live on Wednesday, June 17 at 9am Hong Kong time. It will also be recorded so registrants outside of Asia-Pacific time zones can watch at their convenience.
