With traffic volumes expected to rise steadily, continued investment in infrastructure will be essential to sustain service quality and accommodate future demand. What options do governments, airport operators, and investors have to proactively manage this growing demand on airport systems? This session will examine the state of aviation infrastructure in Latin America and highlight successful approaches to funding, building, and expanding airports in Latin America.

Latin America's aviation sector is increasingly turning to cutting edge technologies to transform their operations, improve safety, solve workforce challenges and enhance efficiency and profitability. Regional airlines are already adopting AI-based systems for everything from aircraft maintenance to passenger service, pricing and revenue management. Digital transformation is no longer just a luxury of the region's largest players, it is increasingly becoming a necessity regardless of the size or role of the organisation. This session will focus on regional trends when it comes to the rapid development and adoption of digital technologies, looking at questions such as:

• What regional aviation businesses are leading the technology transformation?

• How are AI technologies actually changing operations?

• Are younger, more aggressive regional LCCs better placed than their larger but better financed competitors to drive technology adoption?

• While digital transformation promises much, it also comes with significant costs. Should the investment priorities be around cost reduction, problem solving, revenue generation or something else entirely?

• What are the unique challenges in the region that have the potential to slow technology adoption?

Peru's international travel market represents a microcosm of the broader Latin American travel market - with strong regional links, growing connectivity with the important North America and European markets and ambitions to attract travellers from the growing Asia Pacific market. This session will examine major inbound international travel trends in Peru and the wider Latin American region, examining questions such as:

• What inbound travel markets should regional destinations be targeting in the short term?

• Are airlines seeing an uptick in international inbound passengers, as global travelers opt for other destinations than the US?

• What are the best enablers that can support growth in international connectivity, particularly in developing long-haul travel?

• Where should stakeholders and partners be focusing efforts to support connectivity growth?

• How is Latin American airline consolidation impacting regional inbound travel?

• Are trends like cultural and experiential tourism supporting inbound travel into Latin America and the Caribbean.

The session will bring together leading C-suite executives from carriers across the Americas to address critical challenges and opportunities facing the aviation industry. The discussion will highlight strategic priorities, emerging trends, and collaborative approaches to industry-wide issues.
