Welcome
We are delighted to welcome you back to the 19th Annual Flight Operations Conference. 2026 has been a challenging year, highlighting strong reasons for airlines and operators to build resilience and practice threat avoidance but also grasping the positive opportunities available from new and powerful IT solutions, the focus of this conference.
Digital capabilities are indispensable in modern Flight Ops. Efficient processes, informed decisions, integrated and enhanced IT platforms need data, with digital solutions to collect and process it, for safety and efficiency benefits to be realised. For airlines and operators, the challenge is to unlock those digitization benefits. Added to that, the global drive to carbon net zero remains high on Flight Operations’ priorities and agendas. Other challenges for flight planning and fuel management include global uncertainties resulting from conflicts and global instabilities as well as extreme weather events closing airspace. The rise in demand for flying, the pressure on turnaround times, political and economic tensions remain challenges for aircraft operations.
This year’s Flight Operations Conference will showcase the best solutions to address these challenges with a positive outlook. Processes and tools to plan and build long-term resilience will point the way to a better managed future. Digital flight deck and operations, sustainable aviation, the latest real-time flight deck Apps, on-ground and flight deck connectivity and EFFs to ease pilots’ workload will be key-note topics along with the latest ATC developments, using ETLs to integrate flight ops with M&E, aircraft and engines developments and much more.
Along with demos of the latest digital solutions and Apps, airlines and operators get unique opportunities to meet leading flight operations solution vendors, discuss the challenges they face and their priorities. The conference agenda includes case study presentations sharing the experiences of airlines and operators who have already embraced a digital future. The established line-up of industry experts and more will be there to help you unravel and understand what is happening in Flight Operations today and the exciting opportunities available to airlines and operators in the future.
We are excited to see you in London in December.
