IATA World Financial Symposium 2022 | International Air Transport Association (IATA) | 18 September 2022 | Sheraton Grand Doha Resort & Convention Hotel, Al Corniche Street, Doha, Qatar

Our industry has faced unprecedented pressure, the pandemic disrupted our operations like no crisis before. As travel starts picking up and showing signs of recovery, challenges remain and must be addressed for our future and financial sustainability.

Throughout the crisis, airlines have demonstrated resilience and ability to adapt to volatile times. As the path to recovery lies ahead, our commitment to sustainability is immutable. Our goal - Fly Net Zero - to achieve net zero carbon by 2050, will require an industry wide and collaborative effort. As part of this effort, CFOs will have a key role to play.

In this edition, we will dive into topics that are strategic to our financial sustainability as well as, our sustainability as an industry. From securing future financing in a landscape that is less favorable, to gaining agility through retail and financial digital transformation.
