30th Annual Canadian Airline Investment Forum 2019 | ALM Real Estate Media Group | 12 September 2019 | The Westin Harbour Castle, 1 Harbour Square, Toronto, ON M5J 1A6, Canada

The Canadian Airline Investment Forum brings to the forefront the critical factors and innovative strategies that influence the future direction, day-to-day operations, and investment opportunities in the Canadian aviation industry. Now in its 30th year, the Forum is widely recognized as the premier aviation event in Canada and is well attended by senior executives from Canadian airlines, aircraft manufacturers, and financial institutions.

As a global industry, the financial profitability and operational efficiency of the aviation sector is affected by numerous factors; from geopolitics, and technological innovations, to regulatory and consumer demands, demographic shifts, service interruptions, equipment supplier issues and environmental concerns.

The 2019 Forum program will address the headwinds facing the industry today. How will new regulations and policies affect the industry? What are the innovations and investment opportunities available in the industry? What are the strategies that are gaining momentum to finance deals?
