Event Summary

The upcoming 26th Air Transport Research Society (ATRS) World Conference will be held on July 1–4, 2023 in Kobe, Japan, to discuss important and eminent issues that the global aviation industry faces. The issues include measures to rehabilitate the aviation industry, which is severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide, as well as measures to decarbonize the aviation sector.
Japan Transport and Tourism Research Institute (JTTRI) takes this opportunity to invite Tae H. Oum (Founding President), Martin Dresner (Chair), and Anming Zhang (President) from ATRS as well as Japanese professionals to participate in this seminar. The seminar is planned for discussing the issues in the global aviation industry arising due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the measures toward mitigating them, and the mid-term perspectives on the changes in partnerships among businesses and their sphere of influence. The participants are also encouraged to respond against decarbonization. The discussion includes the following potential topics:

●Outlook on the future competition among aviation businesses after the COVID-19 pandemic/relationship between the Full-service carrier and Low-cost carrier
●Relationship between the European and Asian aviation businesses/relationship between the Asian aviation businesses and the Asian internal market
●Issues and expectations of relevant policies
●Effects of decarbonization on competition and sphere of influence of aviation businesses
