The European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines (ECCP), in collaboration with the Asian Business Aviation Association (AsBAA), is proud to announce the 3rd edition of the Philippine Aviation Summit, set to take place on October 8-9, 2025, at the Grand Ballroom A, Marriott Hotel Manila, Pasay City. The Summit comes at a pivotal time, following the Philippines’ impressive economic performance in 2024 and an optimistic outlook for its continued growth as one of Asia’s fastest-growing economies.
In 2024, the Philippines concluded the year with a robust full-year Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate of 5.6%, outpacing several major Asian economies. This acceleration was fueled by the strong resumption of commercial activities and increased public infrastructure spending, among other factors. Multilateral organizations remain highly optimistic, envisioning the country as a leader in economic expansion across Asia for 2025 and 2026.
As an archipelago of over 7,600 islands with a young and rapidly expanding population exceeding 114 million—with a median age of just 24.5—the Philippines heavily relies on aviation as a crucial mode of transport for both people and goods. The aviation sector is a vital economic engine, driving trade, investment, tourism, and sustainable development, and is key to the nation’s integration into regional and global markets.
Achieving a globally competitive, sustainable, secure, and resilient Philippine aviation industry demands collective and sustained efforts across regulatory, operational, and developmental fronts. The 3rd Philippine Aviation Summit is specifically designed to drive this agenda forward. The Summit will convene local and international leaders, government officials, and global stakeholders to explore forward-looking policies, identify business opportunities, and share best practices, solidifying the Philippines’ position as a strategic player in both commercial and business aviation.
