Professor Nawal Taneja and representatives from Ohio State University acted as the hosts. With more than 50 years of experience, Professor Nawal Taneja has extensive experience in consulting many airlines and aviation-related enterprises around the world.

In this way, the airline can position itself for long-term success and sustainable growth in the dynamic aviation market."

On February 28, experts shared perspectives on current issues and trends impacting airlines, such as customer centricity, operational disruptions, ecosystem collaboration, sustainability and ways to enhance operational efficiency and service quality. On the second day of the conference, topics discussed included opportunities and challenges of applying advanced technology and impact of AI to operations and customer service.
