GAD Americas 2025, a key event focused on airport development and investment, is set to take place on 2-3 April 2025 in Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands.
This decision reflects a strategic initiative to co-locate two major aviation summits—GAD Americas and the CAPA Airline Leader Summit Americas—at the same venue. The move is aimed at enhancing collaboration and networking opportunities among global aviation professionals.
The Cayman Islands were chosen as the host location due to their strategic focus on aviation and tourism development. The event will bring together key stakeholders, including airport operators, investors, airlines, and policymakers, to discuss the latest trends, challenges, and opportunities in airport financing and infrastructure development across the Americas.
Hosting both GAD Americas and the CAPA Airline Leader Summit Americas will allow for in-depth discussions on industry trends, regulatory changes, and financial strategies shaping the future of air transport.
CAPA – Centre for Aviation & GAD, Events Director, Claudia Kunz said:We are delighted to be co-locating the CAPA Airline Leader Summit Americas and GAD Americas events in 2025 and believe the Cayman Islands is the perfect destination to bring our audiences together. We look forward to showcasing the Cayman Islands to a wide variety of aviation industry experts while delivering the thought leadership CAPA and GAD are known for.
By selecting the Cayman Islands as the venue, organisers aim to provide an engaging setting that fosters high-level discussions on airport privatisation, investment, and development. The event is expected to attract a diverse group of industry leaders, offering valuable insights into evolving market dynamics and sustainable growth strategies.
GAD Americas 2025 will serve as a key platform for decision-makers to explore new opportunities in the aviation sector while leveraging the Cayman Islands’ role as a growing hub for international business and tourism.
Rosa Harris, Director of Tourism for the Cayman Islands Department of Tourism said:Airlift plays a key role in the success of the Cayman Islands tourism industry and hosting the CAPA and GAD Summits provides the destination with invaluable benefits for networking and business development opportunities to propel our aviation strategy and solidify our position as a destination of choice for global carriers. We also look forward to the economic benefits that the conference will bring to our local accommodations, attractions and restaurants.
