As aviation emerges from a period of extreme disruption, the industry faces a critical question: is it truly prepared for the next global shock? This session explores how airlines and airports are rethinking resilience in the face of future crises—ranging from geopolitical instability and climate events to technology failures and sudden demand shifts. Drawing on lessons from recent upheavals, the discussion will focus on operational agility, infrastructure robustness, workforce readiness, and cross-industry collaboration, examining whether today’s recovery efforts are building lasting shock resistance or merely restoring a fragile status quo.
