At the 22nd Aviation Symposium of Aviation Industry Austria (AIA) in Vienna, the future of the aviation industry was characterized by sustainability and competitiveness.

Around 150 participants from business, aviation and tourism discussed the challenges and opportunities facing the industry, particularly with regard to climate-friendly innovations. A key topic was the use of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) to promote climate-neutral regional air traffic, which is seen as a growth driver for regional locations.

An important part of the symposium's agenda was the change at the top of the association: Robert Machtlinger, CEO of FACC AG, handed over the chairmanship of the AIA to Julian Jäger, CEO of Flughafen Wien AG, after a two-year term. Experts such as Barbara Thaler, President of the Tyrol Chamber of Commerce, and Francesco Sciortino, COO of Austrian Airlines, emphasized the need for political support to increase the availability of sustainable fuels and thus achieve the EU climate targets.

The symposium highlighted the role of the Austrian aviation industry as an economic engine and the associated political and structural framework conditions required for sustainable growth.
