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?

Q: Marie, we speak mainly to pilots on this podcast. How does your role affect the pilot at the end of the day?
Our mission is to make airlines financially and environmentally sustainable, and the two must go together, which means decisions at the top have direct implications for pilots and front-line operations.

Q: What did you see when you got into IATA on day one, given your background in financial services?
