With Asian-Pacific countries poised to lead global aviation growth over the next two decades, rising air travel demand will serve as a catalyst for tourism, foreign investment, and infrastructure development. However, it is crucial for the industry and regulators to prioritise sustainable growth by addressing challenges such as mass tourism and decoupling carbon emissions from growth.

This webinar, co-hosted by the Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA) and the Air Transport Action Group (ATAG), will delve into key insights from the Aviation: Benefits Beyond Borders report. The discussion will highlight aviation’s vital role in job creation, regional development, and sustainable growth, while also addressing the challenges ahead.
