The CAPA Airline Leader Summit – Australia Pacific returns to Adelaide in 2026 in July 2026. CAPA’s home event will see the region's foremost aviation executives, government officials, and industry experts convene to address the distinct challenges and opportunities shaping air travel across Australia, New Zealand, and the broader Asia Pacific region.

This premier two-day forum will provide unique and high-level analysis of Australasia's evolving aviation landscape, examining critical issues including regional connectivity, long-haul route development, infrastructure constraints, and the unique sustainability challenges facing carriers operating in this geographically dispersed market.

Through executive panels, strategic presentations, and facilitated networking opportunities, delegates will gain valuable insights into emerging competitive dynamics, regulatory developments, and innovative business strategies tailored to the Australasian context.

A cornerstone event in CAPA's global summit series, the industry gathering will provide a vital platform for industry leaders to collaborate on solutions that enhance regional air service resilience, foster sustainable growth, and strengthen Australasia's position within the global aviation ecosystem while navigating the region's distinctive operational and market realities.

'CAPA events will always be a must-attend, not only for networking opportunities, but for intimate corporate planning and development discussions mutually benefitting our country and those with whom we engage.’
