There will be hundreds of participants from different countries, including high-profile executives, leaders and experts in aviation and transportation, suppliers and airport representatives, among others.
The confirmed executives are: Andrés Muñoz, Manager of Environmental Management of Avianca; Azul CEO John Rodgerson; Abhi Shah, senior network planning manager for Azul; Vitor Silva, CEO of Flybondi; Mauricio Sana, Network Planning Leader at Flybondi.

Among the issues to be discussed is the status of the reopening of the border; associations and consolidation; the role of sustainability and clean fuel in the future of air travel in Latin America; an airline workshop on new sales, distribution and retail strategies; an aircraft review as Latin airlines strengthen their fleets; a look at the new entrants hoping to succeed in 2022/23; LCC vs FSC network planning strategies; and an in-depth look at the airport industry, CAPA reports.
as reported REPORTUR.co, South American airlines are facing several challenges that impact the entire industry globally. Due to the high operating costs due to the inflation that Colombia is experiencing, added to the price of fuel, Latam, Avianca, Easyfly and Viva have suspended routes with low demand, which does not allow them to be profitable. (Latam, Avianca, Easyfly and Viva suspend routes due to fuel prices).
