“The IATA WSOC 2023, in Hanoi, has been one of the unique events of this kind. It was an extraordinary opportunity for networking, knowledge-sharing and learning; besides that, it was helpful to a great extent towards policy formulation. I think the airlines, airports, OEMS and other interest groups coming together and deliberating on common issues and challenges in the aviation industry is the need of the hour, and IATA has successfully executed it.”
