FORUMS FOR GLOBAL DISCUSSIONS

The Asia Pacific Air Transport Forum 2024, titled “Scaling Up Sustainable Aviation Fuels and Integrated Airspace Solutions for a Greener Future,” will explore the future of sustainable aviation. Key discussions will focus on scaling the production and adoption of SAF and integrating advanced air mobility technologies, such as drones and Urban Air Mobility CG systems, into conventional airspace.

Furthermore, the Indonesian government is set to unveil its national roadmap for advancing the Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) industry and ecosystem in Indonesia during the Airshow. This strategic roadmap underscores Indonesia’s unwavering commitment to sustainable aviation, aiming to achieve Net Zero Aviation by 2050.

Simultaneously, the Bali Regional Air and Space Power Forum 2024 will focus on “Security for All: The Future of Aerospace Technology and Its Role in Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) Operations,” addressing the growing challenges of natural disasters in the Asia-Pacific. Experts will discuss integrating advanced aerospace technologies, including Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, satellites, and C4ISR systems, into HADR operations to improve disaster response effectiveness.

Aimed at bringing together key stakeholders from governments, civil aviation authorities, aircraft manufacturers, and other notable industry players alike, to discuss strategies for enhancing the SAF ecosystem and advancing airspace integration.

“The integration of sustainable aviation fuels and advanced aerospace technologies into our airspace and disaster response systems is essential. These forums will nite global stakeholders to explore innovative solutions that foster a greener future for aviation and enhance our ability to respond to natural disasters. Moreover, the Bali International Airshow 2024 solidifies its importance by actively urging stakeholders to enhance their dedication to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives, one of the first in its kind,” added Mr. Pandjaitan.
As part of its groundbreaking approach, the Bali International Airshow actively encourages aviation stakeholders to enhance their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) commitments in developing regions. For instance, the 2024 event has formalised partnerships with Yayasan Care Peduli (CARE Indonesia) and established a significant commitment to handling environmental, health, and social issues for NTT (Nusa Tenggara Timur).

In addition, the Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs and Investment (Kemenko Marves) has partnered with the government consulting body, the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change (TBI), to become one of the knowledge partners at the Bali Airshow. TBI will organise a series of panel discussions covering various topics such as regional challenges and opportunities for the use of environmentally friendly aviation fuel, the path towards sustainable aviation, and strengthening Indonesia’s air defence industry.

FLYING DISPLAYS TO IGNITE THE BALI SKIES
Reigniting Indonesia’s aerospace legacy, Bali’s skies will once again be filled with the breathtaking flying displays of the Jupiter Aerobatic Team (JAT), featuring six KT-1B Woongbee aircraft. Known for their precision flying and mesmerising formations, JAT will perform four times each day throughout the airshow week.
