Shakeel Adam and Sudeep Ghai, Partners with ATHENA AVIATION, will be moderating and presentating at the 2012 Terrapinn Aviation Outlook MENA (Middle East and North Africa) Conference in Dubai between the 19th and 21st of March, 2012. Click www.terrapinn.com/2012/aome/ for conference details

 

"Panel session: Successfully operating new routes to achieve ROI"

Athena Aviation will join commercial leaders from various airlines in the Middle East to discuss the following:

  • Sourcing new routes through bilateral agreements
  • Understanding the limitations of bilateral agreements to route expansion
  • Encouraging continuous travel between routes to retain high yields
  • Streamlining operations to ensure efficient turnaround to keep routes profitable

Athena will take specific interest in the topics related to demand based route selection and network design as well as efficient deployment of aircraft, which will include topics such as choosing the right aircraft for the mission. Our position will be based on highlighting the challenges commonly faced by airlines in the market.

 

"BIG debate: Alliances are key to revolutionising the airline industry and all carriers will be forced to join one to remain globally competitive."

The conference organisers have selected the following topics for discussion:

  • Global alliances will be the only way to secure growth and passenger traffic in today’s operating environment
  • Global alliances do not compromise customer ownership to the airline of choice
  • Global alliances can help drive consistent service standards across the airline industry
  • Global alliances protect customers throughout their journey

Athena will leverage our world-class and industry leading alliance expertise to focus on the significant real benefits airlines can realise from alliance memebership, but also to highlight the common myths and misconceptions which when misunderstood, prevent an airline from realising its full potential.
