Aviation is completely dependent upon petroleum as its fuel source. Since no practical energy substitute is readily available for commercial aviation, a scarcity of petroleum relative to future demand will present a major challenge for the air transport industry and aviation policy.

• Are we really facing the end of cheap oil?
• What will be the impact of the end of cheap oil for airline operations, airports and consumers?
• Are there any alternative fuels available for air transport?
• How should airlines, airports and governments prepare for high fuel prices?

Speakers:

• Lucia van Geuns, Deputy Head, Clingendael International Energy Programme
• Paul Peeters, Peeters Advies/ NLR
• Paul Cluett, Global Sales Coordination Manager, Shell Aviation
• Prof. Jaap de Wit, Director Airneth/ University of Amsterdam

The seminar will be from 14.00h until 17.45h at the Amsterdam Graduate Business School in Amsterdam.
