The Aviation Industry's Premier Event
TWA Hotel, JFK, New York City | November 12, 2026
The Aviation Industry’s Most Influential Gathering
On November 12 in New York City, the 6th annual Skift Aviation Forum will bring together the industry’s most influential leaders to unpack what was next for global air travel.
From profitability and capacity to sustainability, loyalty, and the impact of AI, we will cut through the noise with sharp analysis, candid conversations, and actionable takeaways. Airline CEOs, innovators, and investors will come together for a one-day deep dive that set the agenda for the year ahead.
‘Very very good. l've been to a lot of conferences that wasted my time. This one did not. I am very impressed. Well done!’
‘It was my first time attending a Skift event and I was mighty impressed. Skift has become *the* source of travel intelligence. This shone through in the calibre of the speakers and the attendees. Also, for a change, the absence of hundreds of vendor booths at a conference was refreshing.’
‘Just wrapped my first Skift Aviation Forum. Packed agenda, efficient execution, and the kind of event that makes you grateful you took the trip. Perfect for those of us who need (love) to maximize our time on the road.’
