For Industry Visionaries

The structure of the Aviation Industry makes it difficult for its visionaries to have a voice, sometimes even within their airlines, but particularly within the external aviation community.

It evolved over a long time, but airlines practice an outmoded arrangement when it comes to representation on the many committees sponsored by organisations like IATA and ICAO. The position held in an airline, with a regulator or an ANSP, rather than domain ability or vision, seems to be the determinant when industry organisations are appointing people to one of the many committees or groups charged with developing the solutions for the growth, efficiency, and, indeed, the survival of the Aviation industry into the future; especially in a post-COVD-19 world.

We think there's a better way.

Airline and other industry visionaries, with generations of hands-on experience and years solving the impossible with care and common sense, now have a voice.

Welcome to 'the Loop'.

A lot is coming down the road for the aviation industry. Until recently, scarcity roadblocks driven by unprecedented growth were set to hinder the industry and drive costs up and efficiency down. Now another shock has set the industry back a decade or more according to some well-known industry 'experts'. Whatever the eventual outcomes, COVID-19 has changed the way we will have to go about just about everything and the industry will need everyone looking to find the answers.

'the Loop' is about visionaries, futurists and problem-solvers sharing ideas, asking questions and providing guidance to each other.

Share your Utopian worldviews for our industry and discuss why they are essential.

You may think it to be overstating our ideals by using terms like Utopian, but we don't think so. Unless we extend our thinking, we'll just end up trying to force our current capabilities, technology and thinking on future needs.

Remember, some of the greatest advancements to our lives and society had their genesis in science fiction. Think about it. So the discussions in 'the Loop' won't be constrained... except for good manners.

'the Loop' has some rules of course, but they're simple. They would be as expected for the exalted group of people from all aspects of the industry that we believe would participate in such a lofty endeavour as to try to influence the direction of the industry.

We are also making the Loop an anonymous forum so that we can collect and share the loftiest of ideas and ideals without fear of judgement.

There's nothing to lose by participating and everything to gain. Your peers will be at your fingertips. The different subject threads will be moderated by Closed Loop SME's and eventually different subjects will be distilled into a position paper that will be accessible to the group.

If you're interested, please let us know by filling out the email form. We'll provide the 'handle', the anonymous identity, that you request unless someone has grabbed it ahead of you and you can start posting and changing the industry.
