The year 2024 marked a new milestone for the aviation industry. Passenger traffic not only rebounded from the pandemic but also expected to have exceeded pre-pandemic levels, signaling a new era of growth. Asia-Pacific served an estimated 3.5 billion passengers or 3% increase over 2019, while the Middle East continued its upward trajectory, reaching an estimated 443 million passengers—a remarkable 9% growth over pre-pandemic levels.

Among the judges for this year’s Young Executive Award 2021 was Dr. Ansa Jordaan, Chief of the aviation medicine section at ICAO.
