"In five years’ time, I would like to see an ability to fully exploit all the data we have through AI and machine learning. And I also expect progress on digital ID and contactless travel."
-Willie Walsh, IATA's Director General, during the CEO panel at #IATAWDS.
From data and AI to cybersecurity and trust, aviation leaders are navigating a profound digital shift. During #IATAWDS, CEOs from Malaysia Airlines, Thai Airways, Scoot, and IATA discuss the vision needed to drive transformation at scale while building resilience in a rapidly evolving industry.
Agentic AI is transforming aviation ✈️ but with greater autonomy comes greater risk.
As David Fairman, CIO & CSO APAC at Netskope, puts it: “human at the helm” will be key.
