The travel association’s public affairs director Luke Petherbridge, who will be moderating the event, said: “Flight-based holidays are such a significant part of what our members sell, which is why it is important we offer our agents and operators the opportunity to come together with the aviation industry to understand what is happening in this part of the sector.
“This year’s aviation forum will offer a timely, first-hand update on a range of important issues, from trade relations and passenger rights to aviation’s plans to reach net zero and what longer term policy changes may be needed.
“I’m pleased we’ll be able to look at the full policy picture to help members understand the challenges and opportunities facing the sector.”
