State of the Airline Industry in the Americas (LIVE)
We continue to feel the impact of COVID-19 on our industry in the Americas region on a daily basis. While the domestic market in the United States continues to recover strongly, the situation in Canada and across Latin America and the Caribbean is less positive and we have seen an increase in new restrictions over the past few weeks.
This session will outline the latest news on the state of the industry in the Americas, including how the region could tackle their largest threat, COVID-19, and how it could be more competitive in the longer term in the areas of infrastructure, taxes & charges, regulatory framework and environmental sustainability.

Matthew Cornelius, Executive Vice President, Airports Council International (ACI) – North America

Airports and airlines are united in the call for governments to partner with the industry to prepare to restart global connectivity when the epidemiological situation allows, and the unprecedented global vaccination effort offers a beacon of hope that a return to normality is a possibility in the near future. Hear from ACI NA on the impact of COVID-19 on the airport business in the Americas and the path to recovery.
