Airports AI Alliance’s Post

It hits differently taking to the stage after a Head of State. The President of the Republic of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, opened the CAPA - Centre for Aviation Airline Leader Summit in Belgrade today. MUFG participated to the finance outlook panel, brilliantly orchestrated by Jonathan Wober, alongside lessor Air Lease Corporation, TAP Air Portugal and Sun Country airlines.   My key takeaways: - The industry is normalising post the swift COVID rebound, but rising costs are hitting profit margins, - Balance sheet recovery is continuing albeit at a slower pace, - Business travel is lagging, but demand for premium products is now coming from leisure travelers, leading airlines to invest in their front cabins.   #CAPASummit #MUFG #GlobalAviationFinanceOffice #AviationFinancePanel

Following Heathrow's announcement of 'record' Q3 results, and an amended 2024 passenger forecast to reach 83 million passengers, BALPA General Secretary Amy Leversidge said: “Today’s announcement that Heathrow is set to reach record numbers this year is exciting news and demonstrates the strength and resilience of the UK aviation industry. The aviation industry contributes £24 billion to the UK economy and supports just over one million jobs, aviation is vital to the UK economy. With demand for flights surging globally and pilot shortages becoming more pronounced, it is crucial for airlines to recognise and invest in the skills, talent and experience of their pilots and that steps are taken to ensure that the pilot profession is accessible so that the growth of the industry can be sustained”. https://lnkd.in/d6JCGrBM BALPA is the voice of UK pilots 💙
