The GCC airline and hospitality industry continues to grow and expand in the face of immense challenges, such as economy downturns, rising operational costs, security concerns, and increasing competition, and the large influx of tourists, rising expatriate population, airport expansion projects, and regional liberalization ensure room for many new market entrants in the coming years. The aim of this year’s GCC Airlines and Hospitality Conference is to help industry stakeholders explore potential opportunities in the growing market and to discuss the present and future challenges facing GCC airlines, hospitality and related industries.

The conference serves as a platform for the regional industry's leaders and stakeholders to discuss and address key issues, create strategies, exchange best practices, and forge business relationships with other international and regional aviation leaders.
