Navigating Turbulence: Communicating Through Crisis in Aviation

Few industries face public and geopolitical pressure quite like aviation. From airspace closures and route disruptions to fuel volatility and strained consumer trust. Aviation communicators are often on the frontline of crisis response in real time, under intense scrutiny.

Join CPRA Brisbane on Wednesday 2 September for an intimate breakfast fireside chat with Stephen Beckett, CEO of Airlines for Australia & New Zealand (A4ANZ), and Robyn Ironside, The Australian’s aviation writer and two-time Australasian Aviation Press Club Journalist of the Year (2020, 2023). Together they’ll unpack what it really takes to keep corporate partners, government and the public aligned when a crisis hits, and how transparency and commercial common sense collide when an industry is under pressure.

This session is designed for mid-to-senior communications professionals across agency, corporate, government and NFP sectors looking for a genuine, practitioner-level view of crisis resilience, stakeholder management and protecting consumer trust from both sides of the story.

7:30am for 8:00am start. Followed by audience Q&A.
