This August, leaders from across airlines, airports, government, and the broader aviation ecosystem will gather in Sydney to address the interconnected challenges shaping the sector. The agenda is grounded in four defining priorities: managing risk in a volatile global environment, progressing towards net zero, rebuilding passenger trust through improved reliability and transparency, and investing in automation and infrastructure to support long-term growth.
With a focus on practical outcomes, the summit will explore how organisations can strengthen resilience, adapt to external pressures, and position themselves for sustainable success.
Following the momentum of previous years, the 2026 summit will deliver deeper insight, sharper discussion, and greater alignment across the industry.
