Willie Walsh: From Cadet Pilot to Running the World's Airlines | IATA WDS 2026

IATA's Chief Economist on Why SAF Investment Is Stuck and What Fixes It
Q: What should young pilots be looking for as they enter the industry, given these sustainability shifts?
Pilots should pursue knowledge beyond flying—lifelong learning in areas like sustainable aviation and other allied disciplines will open more career opportunities and resilience in a low-margin industry.

Q: Marie, we speak mainly to pilots on this podcast. How does your role affect the pilot at the end of the day?
