Chairman's Message

CAPA – Centre for Aviation launched in 1990, with a mission to make a strategic difference in aviation knowledge, delivered with the highest levels of intellectual integrity.

This has been our guiding force since 1990, during which time we have grown from a small team in Sydney to more than 100 people located around the world in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, India, the United Kingdom and the United States.

We are proud to have been ahead of the curve in predicting critical defining phenomena and trends that have impacted our industry, including low cost airlines and airports; airport privatisation; the rise of China, India and the Middle East; the disruptive impact of technology and big data; and the evolution of regulation and how the industry innovates in response.

Aviation is a truly fascinating industry and over the coming years, CAPA will continue on its mission of providing leadership in aviation knowledge.

Our aim is to make a difference.
