While we have seen an encouraging traffic resurgence around the globe, fuel prices have undermined hopes for overall airline financial recovery. It's been another test of our industry's ability to deal with crises. And it has underlined the need to keep driving costs out of the business.

 

This year's theme: En-Route to a "Low Cost" Industry

For Customers  A simplified, transparent product that retains the value of the network.
For Airlines  A continued drive for greater cost efficiency.
For Partners  Targets for improved efficiency to match airline productivity gains.
For Governments Regulation that allows airlines to operate as real global businesses.
For Labour  Aligning expectations and practices to the new industry reality.
For Environment  Further enhancing performance with measures that work.
