The 2025 CAPA – Centre for Aviation Airline Leader Summit - Australia Pacific will delve into the aviation industry anticipating and managing risks in the increasingly volatile international climate. Within this overall theme, the summit will consider a wide range of topics, including:

• Geopolitical tensions, and their impact on market access, passenger flows, international network development and airline costs.
• Developments in local and international aviation partnerships.
• Changes in technology, particularly the impact of AI on businesses.
• Shifts in traveller outlooks, preferences and spending habits.
• The ‘state-of-the-art’ when it comes to aviation sustainability.

The CAPA Airline Leader Summit Australia Pacific 2025 will be held in Cairns, Australia over 31-Jul/01-Aug-2025. As CAPA’s home event, the summit will gather hundreds of aviation industry leaders and key decision makers from across the Asia Pacific. The 2025 agenda will dive deep into current travel sector trends and opportunities, as well as analysing the direction the industry is headed. 

With the Asia Pacific headed for full recovery in 2025, the industry might be forgiven for breathing a quiet sigh of relief. Yet, nothing stands still in aviation and regional airlines face an array of new challenges. Supply chains – particularly new aircraft deliveries – remain bottlenecked and the industry remains vulnerable to shifting geopolitical dynamics. Economic factors – slower growth, persistent inflation, oil prices and currency fluctuations – are all impacting business.

Asia Pacific carriers will need to navigate these difficult waters, while continuing to manage above average demand growth, the ongoing process of consolidation among regional carriers, shifting aviation regulations and the drive towards greater travel sustainability. 

The CAPA Airline Leader Summit Australia Pacific 2025 will tackle all these key issues, and much more, at a two-day event to be held in Cairns, Australia over 31-Jul/01-Aug-2025. Join us to gain insight from industry insiders, business leaders and key decision makers into the world’s most dynamic aviation market.

'CAPA events will always be a must-attend, not only for networking opportunities, but for intimate corporate planning and development discussions mutually benefitting our country and those with whom we engage.’
