On May 4, 2017, the Aviation Event 2017 business platform brings together the most important players in the aviation industry: IATA representatives, airport bosses such as Dr. Stefan Schulte, Fraport CEO and President of the German Federation of Aviation (BDL), Eurowings CEO Oliver Wagner, Ilja Schulz from the Cockpit Association, to name but a few, and politics.

Interesting discussion rounds are announced. Among other things, the “Single European Sky”, or SES for short, will discuss the unified European skies over which almost 30,000 flights travel daily. The vision is a central air traffic control system that controls it. Its realization, however, still seems quite remote. For so many observers, she even gets close to visions, for example for Professor Dr. Christoph Brützel. The professor for aviation management at Bad Honnef University has been dealing with air traffic for more than 30 years. He describes it in airliners.de like this (in german): http://www.airliners.de/kein-single-europaen-sky-sicht/39788. Is there a danger that air traffic will be “sucked off” more and more by the players of the Gulf region if the SES targets are not reached? Can this be the result of inefficient air traffic management (ATM) in Europe? What can you do about it? The Aviation Event 2017 will be discussed.
The global airline
Air transport agreements on the test bench: Who benefits from the 6th freedom in aviation? Are antitrust immunity and Joint Ventures solutions for the creation of a Global Airline? Are so-called “cross-shares” in the airline industry a sensible first step? Is the legal avoidance of majority interests in the aviation industry still appropriate? What are the reasons for this? An interesting exchange, across industries, is expected from Dr. Raphael von Heereman, Secretary General and Head of Europe of Cruise Line International Association (CLIA) to the World Federation of the Cruise Industry with Alexis von Hoensbroech of Lufthansa Cargo.Furthermore, it is about the business model “cargo drones”. How and how will they change the airfreight business? What are the risks?
Aviation Security – state or better private?
Aviation Security will also be an issue. Prof. Dr. jur. Elmar Giemulla, one of the most famous German aviation jurists, who previously owned a private pilots license and who has been providing legal assistance to German victims for several decades, from the Lockerbie attack in 1988 to the Germanwings crash a year ago, will discuss whether aviation security should be a government task, or better, a private one.
German aviation and German politics
The importance of German and European aviation for politics can be learned in the afternoon. Klaus-Peter Willsch, MdB, CDU, Andreas Rimkus MdB, SPD, Dr. Gregor Gysi, MdB, Die Linke, and Ilja Schulz, President of the Cockpit Association, will discuss the importance of German and European aviation for the politicians few months before the German Bundestag elections. What is the real value? Is one willing to strengthen German and European aviation in the competition – especially against the challengers from the or against Ryanair & Co?
The impact of social media on the aviation industry
The influence of social media on the aerospace industry will also be an issue. Julia Heitmann, pilot A320, Marietta Meraz, Instagram blogger and pilot Suisse Superjet 100; Https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suchoi_Superjet_100 as well as pilot B737NG and Instagram blogger Sofia Theodoriodou will report about their experiences.
It promises to be an exciting day in any case.
