Out with the old, in with the new The year of 2024 has finally come to an end and when everyone on the gram is reflecting on their progress this year, we, too, were tempted to follow suit. In that light, we chose introspection – recognise and redesign – which is key to bettering ourselves. This has also become our mantra for 2025. In the last magazine issue of 2024, we take a look into how the aviation industry has fared in 2024 – industry experts, leaders and visionaries have voiced their opinion of what has been and what can be. Each of the ten individuals we interviewed had a perspective on what’s happened and what lies ahead. Featured in the cover story -- Akram Alami, Anand Yedery, Antony Marke, Adani Airport Holdings Ltd, Khaled Hashem, Kiran Jain, Linus Benjamin Bauer, Nazareno Ventola, Shabab Attarzadeh, & Yvonne Winter. Speaking of perspectives, Aviation 360 was front and centre at three of the most prestigious shows of 2024 – Super Terminal Expo, AIR EXPO ABU DHABI, and MEBAA Show. Our conversations with key industry figures gave us the inside scoop on some of the exciting developments we can expect in 2025. We’ve featured intriguing interviews with Shafiul Syed from RoyalJet, Marios Sentris from Parsons Corporation, Ashwin Bhat from Lufthansa Cargo, Alain Champonnois from Chapman Freeborn Airchartering IMEA, and Frederick Overton from AVIAREPS Group. These leaders shared their valuable insights into their respective fields, businesses, and more. To make the issue more interesting, Sanjeev Kumar, Vice President of SITA at Airports, Borders, Communications & Data Exchange, in his own words, has thrown open the gateway to the future of travel. One of the most exciting reads in this issue is the exclusive interview with iGA Istanbul Airport CEO Selahattin Bilgen who has revealed the strategic and innovative techniques implemented to manage this iconic airport. Lastly, since all of us at Aviation 360 are in a festive mood, we decided to whip up an engaging feature – a deep dive into the airport retail sector during the holiday season. Trust us – it’s a holiday read you won’t want to miss with interesting take on the airport retail sector from Ramesh Cidambi from Dubai Duty Free, Lal Arakulath from Kreol Group & Sharath Kanth from Avolta. The year 2024 has been all about learning, hopefully, 2025 will be a great adventure to embark upon. On that note, I would like to sign off by wishing everyone a joyful end-of-the-year holiday!
