In this weekend edition of the NAB Morning Call, Phil talks to former Etihad CEO James Hogan, now Chairman at consulting firm Knighthood Global Limited. They explore the aviation industry’s resilient response to the Middle East conflict and the ongoing Strait of Hormuz blockade. James highlights how major carriers are successfully pivoting their business models by leaning into consolidation and prioritising high-yield long-haul routes to offset the rise in airline fuel. He outlines a clear path for the sector to capitalise on "sovereign resilience" and operational agility to maintain global connectivity. The discussion underscores a positive long-term outlook, where the industry’s ability to re-centre its networks around more stable hubs ensures that global travel remains viable and robust, even as it adapts to a new era of higher energy costs.
