TURBULENT SKIES & CHALLENGING TIMES FOR THE AIRLINE BUSINESS 15.30-16.00 – 2017 has been a year with many diffi culties for airlines, ranging from the unknowns of Brexit to security threats. Nevertheless results for many companies have been strong and air travel continues to grow. Leading airline industry consultant John Strickland provides a snapshot of how the year has shaped up and what’s coming up on the industry’s horizon.
WOW – AN ICELANDIC AIRLINE REVOLUTION! 16.00-16.45 – CEO and founder of WOW, entrepreneur Skuli Mogensen made money in the tech sector and then decided to establish a low cost airline in his home country of Iceland. As a young business starting fl ights to European destinations from its Reykjavik base in 2012, the network has grown to include a number of North American cities. Social media, digital and Mogensen’s tech knowledge have been key to its success – an interview not to be missed!

WHERE: PLATINUM SUITE 4
BRITISH AIRWAYS A YEAR OF MIXED FORTUNES. 16.45-17.30 – CEO of British Airways, Alex Cruz, has had his hands full this year with some pretty thorny issues, fi rst the major computer outage in May and then a cabin crew strike. On the other hand he’s been driving changes in the business to put it in good shape to compete successfully in markets where Low Cost Carriers have gained the upper hand. Not easy when at the other end of the spectrum BA needs to up its game to fend off increasing competition for the loyalty of premium customers. In one of his fi rst major appearances since taking the hot seat he’ll discuss these issues and more with airline industry consultant John Strickland.
