Climate change grounded: the operational challenges facing aviation.

• Recognizing the impacts of climate change on aviation operations is crucial. It seeks to examine threats such as flooding, rising temperatures, alterations in wind patterns and storms, exploring their consequences for infrastructure, flight planning, and aircraft performance. Aimed at generating awareness and promoting adaptation and mitigation strategies with respect to climate change.

From runway to recycling: circular economy solutions for the aviation industry.

• The Circular Economy covers many initiatives, such as transforming waste into resources, from the elimination of plastic on board to the fight against wildlife trafficking, from food waste to the valorization of biodiversity. In this sense, it is essential to understand the power of carbon credits and how every action counts to build a cleaner and more profitable aviation for companies. Value propositions for a future where flying is synonymous with a sustainable goal.

Fueling the future: sustainable and responsible supply chain management in aviation.

• Understanding responsible management, from the refinery to the aircraft, where we see not only a dramatic reduction in Scope 3 emissions, which covers all indirect emissions occurring in a supplier’s value chain, but also opens up new opportunities for innovation and efficiency on traceability, and the strategic collaboration needed to drive a more profitable future committed to a sustainable future.

Fueling regional growth: addressing logistics challenges in the jet fuel market (transition from JET A1 to JET A).

• Details to learn about the logistical challenges involved in the transition from JET A1 to JET A, through the analysis of a success story, strategies to ensure a smooth and efficient transition will be presented, offering an invaluable perspective for the aviation industry in the face of this global challenge.

Political winds of change: navigating the future and perspectives of the regional jet market.

• Update on the JET fuel market in the Latin America and Caribbean region. The current state of the market will be analyzed, including demand trends, prices and factors that influence its dynamics, providing a strategic vision for decision making in the industry.

Overcoming barriers: advances in SAF regulation and production.

• Review of regulatory developments in Latin America and the Caribbean, facilitating the adoption and growth of SAF. In addition, crucial information will be provided on financing options available to producers, seeking to boost production and make SAF a tangible reality in the aviation industry in the region.

Strategic insights on feedstocks and SAF market growth in Latin America, driven by EU mandates.

• Understand the current feedstock landscape for SAF, especially considering the updates in European mandates. The implications of these regulations for the region will be analyzed, identifying best practices that can be capitalized on to boost the production and adoption of SAF in Latin America.

Sustainable aviation for all: driving innovation and inclusion.

• Recognizing that sustainability is a holistic concept encompassing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors, including inclusion, equity, and diversity. This panel will examine the progress made and the remaining challenges in developing a truly sustainable aviation industry, focusing on the inclusion of women and persons with disabilities as key building blocks.

Maximizing opportunities: a deep dive into Jet and SAF contracts for stakeholders.

• Industry experts will share their knowledge and experience to identify the types of contracts and narrow down the requirements for SAF between each airline operator and supplier in the region, to explore the opportunities posed by the transition to SAF, from production and distribution to integration into airline operations.

Fuel efficiency & Green Operations

• Exploration of key strategies and best practices to optimize operational efficiency and fuel consumption, driving sustainability in the industry.

General report on quality or supply problems JET in Latin America and the Caribbean

• Identification and understanding of the JET quality and supply issues currently affecting the region, recognizing key challenges in addressing the root causes and respective pathways for mitigating their impact.

Difficulty in waste management and GSE in disuse due to customs clearance taxes.

• Customs import taxes are a significant challenge for the efficient management of waste, so it is important to analyze in detail how these taxes hinder the final disposal and recycling of these materials with their additional costs to explore alternatives and possible solutions to optimize their management.
