The event will provide a platform to explore El Salvador’s opportunities to strengthen its aviation sector and solidify its position as a global tourism destination.

Industry experts and executives will join government officials to examine key issues including air transport challenges and priorities, major tourism and infrastructure projects, new opportunities for tourism, and the nation’s path toward becoming a competitive aviation hub. Sessions will also cover El Salvador’s history and future in aviation, carbon-neutral goals for 2050, and the country’s potential to become one of the world’s largest aircraft maintenance centers.

Organizers highlighted that the event will not only foster dialogue but also serve as a space for high-level professionals to build connections, while offering attractive sponsorship opportunities for companies to present their products, solutions, and services to airlines, airports, and related sectors.
