Slovenian Aviation and Travel Industry Summit #2

Positioning for Success
The summit’s core mission is to establish a lasting platform for sustainable dialogue and knowledge exchange, driving innovation and digital transformation across the industry.
As Southeast Europe emerges as a vital connector between Asia and Europe, new opportunities arise to develop routes, reimagine networks, and create adaptive infrastructure.
Support global changes / Explore opportunities /
Launching new routes / Building new infrastructure / Modifying traditional networks /
The airline industry has navigated a profound, fundamental transformation in its profit methodology over the last decade. While established pillars of success—including masterful network planning, astute pricing strategies, and operational excellence—retain their importance, they are no longer sufficient to achieve competitive differentiation.
Recognizing that modern travel industry growth is powered by robust digital ecosystems, advanced loyalty platforms, and transformative customer experiences, the summit places special emphasis on the role of technology and strategic partnerships.
