Panel Session
Industry Challenges Part 1: Capacity, Congestion, Competition - Current Challenges for European Aviation
Europe has seen unprecedented growth in trade and tourist links in the last decade. This has been underpinned by a safe, efficient, liberalised and affordable air transport system and the revolution in low-cost air services has created an ever-expanding network of air services.
However the region is now entering a period of change with political unrest, terror threats, over capacity, congestion, competitive threats from Middle East carriers and rising oil prices. Leaders will debate how the industry is responding to these challenges and what the future of European aviation will be.

Discussion
Living the dream - Long-haul low-cost becomes a reality
Long-haul low-cost is finally turning into a profitable reality. Norwegian and WOW Air are already making this happen with transatlantic routes and IAG and Air France are set to introduce enter this market. Air Asia X is looking at a possible return to Western Europe and Scoot will start Singapore to Athens route later this year.
How does the Low-haul low-cost market in Europe differ from Asia? How are the European full service carriers reacting and what is the best model to adopt for the full service carriers to compete? How important is short-haul feed to the success of a long-haul low-cost product? Will long-haul low-cost carriers (LCCs) stimulate new markets or capture market share? Which LCC will develop a long-haul product next? How will the new Boeing 737 Max, A320 neo and the A321 neo LR change this market? Will we see new long-haul routes between secondary airports?

21st century analytics and their role in identifying traffic leakage
Nearly every airline in the world has a website, so most airlines can have access to user IP addresses (and thus users’ exact location) and with the low cost of storage, airlines can also gather what travellers search for, not only the final purchase. This presentation will look at what we can achieve if we broaden the data landscape to include “internet searches” as a first step and how this data can be used to identify traffic leakage.

Panel Session
The Rise of the Regionals
Many of the mainstream markets in Europe are saturated. So where are the next growth opportunities? Do they lie in new and unfolding secondary routes? Can regional airports seize these new opportunities and find ways of developing feeder traffic into hubs? What part can regional carriers play in developing these markets? Which regional airports are making this work? How is new aircraft technology re-shaping route opportunities?
