Rio de Janeiro is preparing to welcome the global aviation industry as the countdown begins to the 82nd IATA Annual General Meeting and World Air Transport Summit, taking place from 6 to 8 June 2026. Hosted by LATAM Airlines Group, the event will bring airline chiefs, aviation policymakers, manufacturers, airports, technology leaders, investors and media to Brazil at a decisive moment for global air transport.
