The outlook for China’s aviation market and the future of aviation in Istanbul and its giant new mega-airport are among topics up for discussion at the World Aviation Festival at London’s Business Design Centre in nine days' time, 4-6 September.

Other subjects in focus will include the future of the European Aviation Network and how it will revolutionise European inflight connectivity, the growth in the use of digital aids at Heathrow and growing competition between airline apps.
