How it was in 2024

Interviews with participants

Speakers and attendees testimonials

"On the stage and on the sidelines, a lot of topics were touched upon, as there is a feeling that all processes in the industry in terms of changes are now greatly accelerated. This also applies to the commercial distribution scheme and its technical component. As part of the panel discussion that I led, we were able to discuss many issues of interest to the industry. One thing I can say - it was interesting and useful! Thanks to all the participants and organizers, who traditionally held the event at a very high level."

Alexander Sizintsev

CEO, ORS
"The forum gave an opportunity to exchange information about the ongoing situation between all participants, to analyze it together and based on this, take a look into the future. Evidently, in the new complicated travel world, success is for those who is now ready to digitalize all processes, as the main trend in search of new solutions, produces, markets — and those who love and is able to do their work well!"

"Digital Aviation Forum has always been and remains one of the key events of the year in the aviation industry. For us it is an honor to have been participating in this forum for many years, and to witness how travel industry is changing. During the pandemic travel industry proved its resilience, because of the professionals who love what they're doings. I'm thankful to the organizers for the high level of event organization and for the spirit of optimism, which was the common thread throughout the forum."

Maria Yakushkina

Travelport
"Organizing and holding the international conference Digital Aviation & Travel 2020 is itself a graphic illustration of "the life in new microbiological conditions": it was initially scheduled offline for late spring, but was eventually held in mid-autumn online, combining Digital and Travel agendas, which were previously discussed on separate platforms, and bringing together professionals, who may be far apart geographically, but are a single community."

"It is very important to share information and experiences so that information about best practices is accumulated [and shared] among industry information agencies that combine airports and airlines."
