Summary

What this edition was

The 17th Global Humanitarian Aviation Conference and Exhibition brought the sector back to the CVK Park Bosphorus Hotel in Istanbul in October 2025. Thirty-six speakers took the podium, drawn from operators, manufacturers, charterers and humanitarian agencies: 748 Air Services, Abyssinian Flight Service, ATR, Chapman Freeborn, Air-Tec Global, Aviation Sans Frontières and the World Food Programme among them. The programme paired plenary sessions with an exhibition floor and the bilateral meetings that fill the margins of every edition.
