So, with aviation very much in the air [apologies for the pun!] at eglobaltravelmedia.com.au we wanted to bring our no spin, no sales pitches, no airlines…but Australia’s, the region’s and the world’s top industry specialists, journalists and opinion formers to give you their view of the real picture of what they think “What the Future of Aviation Might Look Like”, which we are sure will not only be revealing, but also enlightening and re-evaluating “What the Future of Aviation Might Look Like”.

So, when we invited over a dozen Australian and international airlines to join our webinar “What the Future of Aviation Might Look Like”, we were shocked when every one of them said NO, with every excuse you can imagine!

While we fully appreciate that these are very challenging times, we wondered what our being left rather like a bride at the altar actually meant!

Who knows, one thing is for certain, we don’t know why they do not want to join our webinar and chat about “What the Future of Aviation Might Look Like”!
