Global Aviation:
Navigating an Industry of Disruption
The leadership challenges in aviation have never been greater. While air travel is becoming safer and airlines more efficient and more profitable thanks to savvier management teams, global aviation is uniquely vulnerable to shifting economic and political climates, disease outbreaks, insufficient infrastructure, new players in the industry and competitive technologies.
The aviation leaders of tomorrow must also be able to ensure the safety, comfort and satisfaction of increasingly-demanding passengers without compromising profitability. They must also be able to ensure their firms flourish in an increasingly competitive global marketplace threatened with increased congestion, changing climates, evolving labour relations and security.
