Airspace World

We are passionate about the next generation of aviation professionals; they are the driving force shaping the industry's future. At Airspace World 2026, it has been inspiring to hear from young, ambitious and passionate individuals as they share their experiences, perspectives and reasons for attending. Supporting youth in aviation is a key priority, and the event continues to provide tailored activities and opportunities designed to encourage graduates and early-career professionals to engage with the ATM community, build connections and explore future careers in aviation. Hear directly from them on why they chose to attend — and why more graduates and young professionals should be part of Airspace World. #AirspaceWorld

What a way to begin Airspace World 2026. Day One delivered an incredible start to the event, bringing the global aviation and ATM community together once again in Lisbon for three days of collaboration, innovation and forward-looking discussion. As Simon Hocquard, President and CEO of CANSO, said: “A privilege to gather once again in Lisbon for the fourth edition of Airspace World.” Opening discussions focused on shaping the future of aviation and building the skies of tomorrow. As Miguel Pinto Luz, Minister of Infrastructure and Housing for Portugal, highlighted: “We are discussing how aviation can become more connected, more digital, more resilient, more sustainable, and of course more secure.” An excellent lift-off to this year’s event — and there is still much more to come. We look forward to soaring to even greater heights on Day Two. #AirspaceWorld
