Welcome to Solakonferansen – Scandinavia’s leading Aviation summit
Once again, we invite the aviation industry to join us at our annual summit to share insights, explore opportunities, and elevate aviation standards. Whether you represent an OEM, regulatory body, operator, end user, or simply have a vested interest in aviation safety, we believe you will find the conference an exceptional opportunity to expand your network and contribute to the ongoing improvement of aviation safety.
Solakonferansen is steadfast in its commitment to advancing aviation safety. This year, we have invited OEM’s and operators to highlight their contributions to the safe introduction of innovative technologies to ensure more efficient transport solutions. As an example of innovative technology, Beta Technologies will be giving us a real-life demonstration of their all-electric Alia, with both a fly-by and a static display.
Day one will focus on a just transition and the safe, reliable introduction of next-generation aircraft, drones, and advanced air mobility concepts, featuring keynote speakers from Eve, Beta Technologies, Archer & Væridion. We complete the day with a fire-side chat with the CEO’s on, how we soon may get these highly innovative vehicles into a commercially viable revenue service.
The following two days will address current operations in the energy sector, as well as HEMS/SAR and commercial operations. Presentations from OEMs such as Airbus, Leonardo, Bell, Sikorsky, alongside commercial operators will cover a wide range of topics related to safety and sustainability in operations. We will also hear from the CEO’s of the worlds leading helicopter operators; CHC, Bristow, Omni and Lufttransport in an exciting round table lead by Tim Rolfe in HeliOffshore.
The Solakonferansen Foundation is dedicated to ensuring that Solakonferansen remains a pivotal event for aviation. It is an excellent opportunity to engage with industry colleagues and partake in meaningful discussions
aimed at promoting a safer and more sustainable aviation industry. We also take pride in being the number one meeting place for aviation professionals in our region and encourage you all to use and promote Solakonferansen as your platform to new and existing aviation business in Scandinavia.
I look forward to welcoming you in September 2025 for three insightful and productive days!
Sola, 27th June 2024.
