Organised by the CAPA – Centre for Aviation, the event will bring together airline CEOs, senior executives, and aviation decision-makers from across the world. Over two days, attendees will engage in high-level panels, strategic discussions, and exclusive networking sessions focused on the future of global air transport.
A central feature of the summit will be the Global Aviation Awards for Excellence, recognising outstanding achievements and leadership within the airline and aviation ecosystem.
The timing of the summit aligns with a transformative phase for Milan. Following the Milano Cortina Olympic Games, the city is entering a new stage of urban regeneration and commercial growth. Milan Malpensa Airport, in particular, is set to benefit from the visibility and international connectivity fostered by the summit.
The event is being organised in collaboration with the YesMilano Convention Bureau, with SEA Milan Airports playing a key role in securing the summit. According to organisers, hosting the event will not only strengthen Milan’s aviation profile but also facilitate new strategic partnerships with international airlines, potentially leading to expanded routes and enhanced connectivity.
For aviation and travel industry professionals, the 2026 CAPA Airline Leader Summit in Milan represents both a platform for thought leadership and a catalyst for future growth in the European and global markets.
