Aviation Hardtalk Live, IAG’s Founding CEO Willie Walsh, interviewed by Andrew.


How can we build back better European aviation after COVID-19 – and what will our industry look like in five years? The environment, changing markets, new consumer behaviours and expectations – all will be explored in a series of live 1-2-1 interviews with industry leaders.

In our second EUROCONTROL Aviation Hardtalk Live, we explore these questions and more with Willie Walsh, who as founding CEO of the International Airlines Group (IAG), successfully drove over the last decade the group’s evolution to today comprise Aer Lingus, British Airways, Iberia, LEVEL and Vueling.

Willie will be interviewed by Andrew Charlton, journalist and MD of Aviation Advocacy. The sessions includes a short update on European markets and performance from Eamonn Brennan, Director General of EUROCONTROL.
