Singapore to host 67th Annual General Meeting of International Air Transport Association

The 67th IATA AGM is the aviation industry's premiere executive event and attracts about 800 delegates.

According to IATA, the delegates will include some 150-200 CEOs from airlines, manufacturers, airports and other industry partners.

“Singapore is a great aviation city having built its success on global connectivity. The government has always facilitated a healthy aviation sector – one that can drive the greatest economic benefits for the national economy. Today Singapore is home to one of the world’s top airlines and one of its best airports. It will be a great host for the 67th IATA AGM,” said Giovanni Bisignani, IATA’s Director General and CEO.

This will be the second time that Singapore will host the IATA AGM. The last time the IATA AGM was held in Singapore was in 2004 when the industry took the historic decision to move to 100% e-ticketing globally. This year, the AGM will take place as the industry continues its recovery from the global financial crisis. The meeting’s agenda will comprise the major topics facing air transport today, including the drive for even better environmental performance, the impact of rising fuel prices on weak industry profitability and efficiency gains through technology. One highlight of the event will be a long-term look at aviation’s future with the presentation of the results of IATA’s Vision 2050 initiative.

The 67th IATA AGM was originally scheduled to be held in Cairo, Egypt. “We regret not being able to host this event in Egypt as originally planned. We look forward to hosting a future AGM in Egypt when its political transition is complete,” said Bisignani.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
