Cyber-proofing your organisation: the new challenges for the CSO
Wednesday 02 December 2020, 3pm BST / 10am EST A one-hour FlightGlobal-hosted webinar discussing how aerospace and aviation companies and other organisations in the industry can both guard against a cyber-attack and manage any crisis that results from such an attack. In recent months alone, businesses including ST Aerospace and EasyJet have been in the news after suffering cyber security attacks. The threat to the industry is real and growing. Our expert panel will discuss the extent of the threat and what firms can do to protect themselves both from an attack itself, and also mitigate any damage caused by a breach by having a ready crisis-management plan and a security team ready to step into action.
Network planning in the new reality
Airlines and airports are slowly picking up the pieces of networks shattered by a coronavirus crisis that has seen the majority of the world’s passenger flights grounded, and many countries shutting their borders to international travel. As the world of air travel opens up again, what factors will drive which routes will return first, and how might route maps change permanently? How are network planners choosing what services to reinstate and what tactics should airports use to retain or lure new customers, given that some airlines will not survive the crisis and many will be forced to drastically reappraise their networks. Will the crisis change the entire relationship between airports and airlines?
Embracing the digital engineering revolution
Despite, or perhaps because of, the Covid-19 crisis, the aerospace and defence industry is under pressure like never before to be innovative and agile, and one of the most effective technologies is digital engineering: capabilities that allow enable design teams to work collaboratively and more productively. In fact, such is its potential for disruptive change, digital engineering has been described by the US Air Force as “the new stealth”. Our expert panel will discuss the potential of the technology and the benefits of becoming a truly digital enterprise, with examples from industry leaders on how it has transformed the way their businesses operate.
Rebuilding commercial aviation from the flightdeck
After the coronavirus pandemic led to the biggest downturn in history, the aviation industry is slowly rebuilding operations and networks. Tens of thousands of pilots throughout the world have been furloughed, laid off or taken early retirement, while others face uncertainty as work patterns and the types of aircraft they fly change.
