IATA World Data Symposium
8-9 April 2026 | Shangri-la, Singapore
Aviation is entering a pivotal era where success depends on clarity, speed and intelligence at scale. Leaders are under pressure to make faster, higher-impact decisions, and the need to embed data analytics into team workflows has never been more critical.
Cirium has unified its complete aviation analytics to deliver this advantage. This not only enables advanced data integration into operational workflows and systems, but generative AI solutions to remove friction, replace manual analyses and provide complex, instant insights.
The key to quicker decisions, made with confidence, lies in this integration of data and analytics and having a research partner alongside teams. And by research partner, we mean an automated one. One that is more than an AI assistant that handles complex analysis and delivers deep, contextual insights.
Imagine….always-on aviation analytics. Ask questions or let Cirium Journey detect trends, from performance analytics to market opportunities.

Workshop: Aviation desk jobs in 2030 – From Ai assistants to automated operations
Wednesday 8th April at 12:30 – 14:00 | Azalea I, Mezzanine Floor
How will AI reshape aviation desk work by 2030? In this interactive workshop we’ll move beyond speculation to examine real trends already transforming operations, fleet strategy and network planning roles.
We’ll tackle practical questions. Which tasks will AI handle entirely? Where will human judgement remain critical? What new skills will teams need? Through hands-on scenarios and group discussion, we will explore how revenue management analysts, operations teams and fleet deployment can embrace the power of AI. We’ll address harder questions too! Are we training the right skills in aviation programs? What does ‘desk job’ mean when AI handles routine decisions?
