The CAPA World Aviation Summit is recognized as one of the most prestigious annual meetings of international aviation: a stage of excellence for networking and exchange of ideas, with keynote speeches by top managers, exclusive interviews and high-profile round tables.
The summit comes at a crucial time for the city and for Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP): in the wake of the success of the Milano Cortina experience, with a post-Olympics urban regeneration and a commercial landscape in full swing, enriched by new international brands.
The highlight of the event will be the presentation of the Global Aviation Awards for Excellence, which will confirm the summit's status as one of the most prestigious events in the aviation and travel industry.
