About the Conference

Aviation continues to play an inst،ental role in connecting people internationally as well domestically. From a commercial viewpoint, post-pandemic recovery has been impressive indicating enhanced confidence of the consumer in the industry.

At the same time, recent mid-air incidents have seriously threatened the safety in the aviation sector necessitating prompt regulatory intervention. This is coupled by the challenges posed by increasing incidences of unruly p،engers threatening the safety and security of aviation. Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) are increasingly being deployed strategically as well as commercially.

Efforts are also underway on the part of the stake،lders to ensure that environmental footprints of aviation are brought within the stipulated limits in a time bound manner as per agreements reached at the international fora.
