The 2026 ACI EUROPE Annual Congress & General Assembly is taking place this week in Prague, hosted by Prague Airport.
The event will welcome delegates such as C-suite airport executives, policymakers, business partners, analysts and aviation institutional stakeholders.
A keynote address by the Czech Republic’s Minister of Regional Development, Zuzana Mrázová, will focus on the role of aviation in bolstering the travel and tourism sectors.
In his “State of the Industry” address, ACI EUROPE’s Director General, Olivier Jankovec, unveils the latest traffic trends, market outlook and strategic industry analysis, and the event also features political debate with top transport official from the European Commission, Magda Kopczyńska and ACI EUROPE’s President and CEO of Fraport AG, Stefan Schulte.
The conference programme features over 50 speakers. “Europe’s airports are operating in an increasingly complex environment shaped by geopolitical uncertainty, structurally changed market dynamics, sustainability imperatives and growing pressure on infrastructure capacity,” Olivier Jankovec, ACI EUROPE Director General said.
“Against this backdrop, the ACI EUROPE Annual Congress & General Assembly provides a unique opportunity for industry leaders and policymakers to come together, share perspectives and shape a common vision for the future of aviation. We are grateful to Prague Airport for hosting this year’s event and look forward to three days of meaningful discussions that will help define the next chapter for our industry.
“Over the coming days, we will be sharing our latest assessment of market performance and outlook, highlighting both the remarkable resilience of European aviation and the challenges that must be addressed to safeguard connectivity, boost competitiveness and deliver on sustainability in the years ahead.”
