Expect a 4-day agenda with a rich technical program including talks on research and advancements in all key areas of the airline industry: operations, maintenance, revenue management, scheduling, crew management, and more. We are also planning a range of social events to allow for ample time to connect with your peers from academia and the airline industry.

Interested in becoming a sponsor?
If you or your company would like to consider sponsoring the Symposium, we would love to hear from you.
As a non-profit organization, AGIFORS sets the registration fees for airline staff and academics as low as possible. The philosophy behind this is that academics are likely to enter new lines of thought into our field, and having a strong presence by airlines brings great value to both the vendors and the airlines. Sponsorships are used to lower registration fees for airlines and academics.
