This meeting will be an occasion to exchange experiences and will have the presence of experts on the subject. This year we will bring many innovations to the agenda, including the topic on blockchain and how it is revolutionizing the way that consumers can buy and use trips, as well as the use of technologies and data generated in the operation and deployment of SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel)”, he stated.
