3. Dear Partners,
Thank you for your participation and support at Aviation Festival Asia 2015.
This report provides you with an overview of what happened at the conference and exhibition, along with
valuable information on the event’s attendees, production, marketing campaign, as well as information on
plans for next year. We hope you will find it useful, and please do get in touch if you have specific
questions or comments about the content here.
Aviation Festival Asia 2015 transformed itself from the successful 10-year track records of World Low
Cost Airlines Congress. In its 11th year, the event gathered a total of 1,140 unique industry professionals,
with 32% coming from full-service airlines, low cost carriers, and airports from the Asia Pacific and
beyond.
Rich content was generated from 8 panels, 19 roundtable discussions, 31 on-floor case studies and 43
individual talks. This shook up the industry with first-hand updates on strategies and innovations across
five brands under the festival banner.
Particularly noteworthy of 2015 were the involvement of 78 sponsors and exhibitors, as well as an
impressive speaker faculty that was comprised of CXOs and senior members from airlines and airports.
Many of these executives arranged a number of meetings with each other around the festival, confirming
its reputation as not just an industry forum, but also a must-go event where real business gets done.
A quick note on 2016
Next year, our conference format is being refreshed to include more industry focused sessions on the
following six brands to make it a one-stop-shop for the entire aviation industry. This exciting format will
explore new products, business models, strategies and opportunities. We can’t wait to explore new
technologies and services offered in these fields as we begin to work on it.
Save the dates 23 – 24 February 2016 for next year’s Aviation Festival Asia in Singapore.
Aviation Festival Asia refines the way you do business with leading airlines and airports from across the
region. We look forward to welcoming you on board.
Warm regards,
Aviation Festival Asia 2015 Team
