The air charge is transferred a year of severe disturbance. With commercial protectionism, regional conflicts, and fragile consumer morale that constitute global flows, 2025 requires more gradual thinking. Tiaaca selection is sent to host its executive summit in Hong Kong, a clear message about the place where the center of gravity in the industry turns – and that difficult conversations must occur.
Asia in focus
“We wanted to be the 2025 summit in Asia as part of the goal of the Tiaca Council of ensuring that our events are held in areas that ensure access to members, as well as in sites that play a decisive role in the global aviation industry,” said Glenn Hughes, General Manager of Tiaca. “Hong Kong is perfectly suitable for these requirements, especially when it comes to being the world’s e -commerce gate. China represents 27 per cent of global manufacturing output, and with the presence of” China in addition to one “that leads to a greater amount of production elsewhere in Asia, it certainly shows that the region will be an essential component of the success of the future air industry.”
The choice is strategic, not symbolic. In an era in which logistical flexibility and regional diversification are very important, Hong Kong acts as a laboratory in the actual time of change. It is clear that the Hughes summit is not the formality of communication, but it is a checkpoint in the concentrated industry.
He said: “We are building our agenda on more important topics for the entire society, so we will focus on e -commerce, digitization, airports development, innovation, innovation, sustainability, industry trends, and comprehensive expectations.” “We will have two round discussions of industry leadership, as part of Tiaca’s commitment to a driving offer, we will have our sustainable prizes, the 2025 celebrity incitement ceremony, two new prizes recognize inspiring driving and a rising star.”
Blues: More than one information board
The cornerstone in this accountability is the Tiaaca program, designed to measure and achieve companies in sustainability through a wide range of standards. However, the adoption of the industry was not widespread as expected.
“I was a little surprised that more companies were not recorded for Bluesky, because the comments we receive from those who have gone through the program are excellent,” said Hughes. “Not only does it provides a dedicated information panel that reflects how the company performs through a set of sustainability topics, but also shows the place they need to focus on moving forward.”
The program structure encourages internal reflection, but also cooperative work. “We have just completed the first Bluesky community, led by Air Cargo Belgium and Brussels, which took a group of six leading companies through the program together. In addition to the results of the individual company, we also managed to highlight the areas that were common in many, and this additional directive will be used by Air Cargo Belgium to provide some new programs for its members.”
Carbon removal at a crossroads
When asked whether the sector is progressing enough to environmental goals, Hughes did not avoid the complexity.
“In general, I think the airplane industry is working well through a number of sustainability topics, although there are some areas to do more,” he said. “The low waste, including the reduction of monochromatic plastic, is one of the very positive result of the actions that have been taken. Airlines invest extensively in the newer generation, the most efficient fuel fleets, and the equipment of companies and truck transport companies increases the number of EVS in their ground fleets. GSE electrolyte, some of which are investigating the use of hydrogen -based equipment Green. “
But he warned that carbon removal depends on more than the industry alone. “The flight trucks when it comes to adhering to the purchase of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), but in general, there is a deficiency in the SAF available in the market. Therefore, in order to meet the net zero 2025 goal, it is important that fuel, governments and investment community looks at how to increase production capacity.”
The role of Tiaaca: Measurement of Success
Hughes stressed that Tiaka’s position is not only monitoring the progress of industry, but to facilitate it.
“We see the role of Tiaca as three times in this regard,” he said. First, we seek to work with legislators to help educate them about what the industry is doing and whether the proposed changes on legislative requirements are applicable. Then, we aim to help the industry regarding the essence of organizational requirements. Third, we seek to provide tools and practical measures to support the industry in achieving sustainability goals. ”
Ask the organizers who attended the Hong Kong Summit? “They consider incentive programs to support the investments required to address carbon removal strategies.”
How does success look for Taka by the end of 2025? They are not the title numbers, but importance.
“For Taka, it comes to the consent of the members,” said Hughes. “We do an annual survey of members and then set our programs to ensure that our members are looking for from their associations.”
