Dear Propeller Club Members,
It is with great pleasure and excitement that I extend to you a personal invitation
to join us for an extraordinary luncheon that promises to inform, inspire, and
broaden our horizons. On Thursday, November 28, we will convene at the
elegant Grand Hyatt Hotel in Taksim, where we will have the distinct honour
of hosting Mr. Serkan Kaptan, CEO of TAV Airports Holding and a visionary
leader in the global aviation industry.
With over 30 years of unparalleled experience in aviation, Serkan Kaptan has
been at the forefront of groundbreaking developments that have reshaped the
way we perceive air travel and connectivity. As the driving force behind TAV
Airports’ phenomenal success, Mr. Kaptan has not only elevated Turkey as a
central aviation hub but has also left an indelible mark on the global stage.
During this exclusive luncheon, Mr. Kaptan will take us on a journey through:
The Future of Global Aviation: Insights into emerging trends, economic
behaviors, and social indicators shaping the industry.
TAV Airports’ Success Story: Behind-the-scenes perspectives on their
rise to prominence as a global leader.
Turkey’s Strategic Position: An in-depth analysis of Turkey’s role as a
critical aviation hub in its geography and what lies ahead.
This is not just an opportunity to hear from a luminary of the aviation world; it’s a
chance to gain unique insights into the intersection of global economies, social
transformations, and industry innovation—a perspective that few can offer with
such depth and clarity.
