Just 3 in 10 aviation executives believe their strategy can adequately address the emerging risk challenges of the next decade
WTW (NASDAQ:WTW) has released a comprehensive survey revealing significant concerns about risk management in the aviation industry. The study, which involved 130 senior aviation representatives, found that only 30% believe their strategy will effectively address emerging risks over the next decade.
Key findings highlight that 80% of decision-makers and 90% of risk strategy teams cannot identify their organization's definition of emerging risk. The survey identified major risk categories: climate transition (cited by 29% as a top-five risk), geopolitical and economic risks, cyber threats (11% view it as most significant), and artificial intelligence (top concern for 36% in immediate term).
WTW (NASDAQ:WTW) ha pubblicato un sondaggio approfondito che mette in luce preoccupazioni significative riguardo alla gestione del rischio nel settore dell'aviazione. Lo studio, che ha coinvolto 130 rappresentanti senior dell'aviazione, ha rilevato che solo il 30% ritiene che la propria strategia sar脿 efficace nell'affrontare i rischi emergenti nel prossimo decennio.
I risultati principali evidenziano che l'80% dei decisori e il 90% dei team di strategia del rischio non sono in grado di definire cosa la loro organizzazione intenda per rischio emergente. Il sondaggio ha individuato le principali categorie di rischio: la transizione climatica (citata dal 29% come uno dei primi cinque rischi), i rischi geopolitici ed economici, le minacce informatiche (l'11% le considera le pi霉 significative) e l'intelligenza artificiale (preoccupazione principale per il 36% nel breve termine).

LONDON, July 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 130 senior aviation representatives took part in our new report, by Willis, a WTW business (NASDAQ:WTW). Of these, only one in two declared themselves confident that their business model and strategy are resilient to today鈥檚 emerging risks environment, and only
In addition,
Other key findings include:
- Climate transition: Climate change is viewed as a significant threat to the aviation industry, impacting operational resilience, financial performance and stakeholder trust. Fixed-asset aviation operators 鈥� such as airports, fuel suppliers and cargo handlers 鈥� are particularly exposed to the exogenous risks associated with climate change. Nearly one in three (
29% ) of all respondents mention climate change in their overall top five emerging risks, one in five (20% ) put the climate transition as a top five source of emerging risks in the next two years and one in two (50% ) chose the environmental category as one of their top five sources of emerging risks in the next 10 years. - Geopolitical and economic risks: Geopolitical and economic risks are closely tied and seen to have an outsized influence on opportunity and business plans. Concerns about financial shock, geopolitical instability, government business policy, trade sanctions and business financial risk affect all companies in the sector. Insurance gaps are also mentioned in this context, suggesting an unsated appetite for economic risk transfer products among aviation organizations. Geopolitical and economic outlook risks feature in the top 5 risks in all time horizons: risks of today, of the next two years and the next 10 years. They are also at the top in terms of interconnectivity, with the most volume of risk connections declared.
- Cyber risks: As the hosts and owners of critical national infrastructure and systems, aviation companies are perennially in the crosshairs of cybercriminals.
11% of respondents see this as the industry鈥檚 most significant current risk (on par with supply chain risks) and it also features heavily over the five- and 10-year timescales. It is closely connected with AI, which is seen as an enabler of both hackers and internet security providers. - Artificial intelligence: AI is viewed as a risk in the immediate timescale, taking the top position for
36% of respondents, but drops out of the top five when looking at a two-year and ten-year horizon. One airport executive shared a dual concern around the exposure that comes from using AI and the risk of not using it and being left behind. For example, there is potential for the industry to deploy AI to gather insight on minor incidents that lead to attritional claims. These are estimated to represent half to two thirds of the value of aviation insurance claims in any given year, and there is a clear incentive for the insurance and risk management sector to work with the industry to develop tools or services that can reduce their number or severity.
The unique nature of aviation as an industry puts it in an interesting position when it comes to technology as a whole and the development of AI specifically. Airports compete geographically and airlines on routes, but because many airports and airlines are seen as important parts of national infrastructure, there are often very strict rules around ownership. The industry鈥檚 structure has also made it relatively open to sharing appropriate data, particularly where safety is involved. This could potentially mean that any successful AI tools and services will spread relatively quickly through the industry over the next few years, without outsized benefits for any particular organization.
John Rooley, CEO, Willis Aviation & Space, said: 鈥淭he challenges we face today in the aviation industry, whether it鈥檚 the business implications of AI, cyberattacks, disruptions to the global supply chain or energy transition, demand a re-evaluation of how we perceive and manage emerging and interconnected risks. But our survey shows that aviation experts, traditionally superb at long-term planning that accommodates fleet renewals, infrastructure development and regulatory compliance, have been struggling to define the emerging risk landscape. The time has come to take a proactive stance and align planning with a forward-thinking approach that embraces adaptability and resilience.鈥�
