The Aviation Digital Operations Symposium 2026, hosted by ZDH, will take place on November 19–20, 2026, at Yanqi Lake in Huairou, Beijing. With less than two months to go, preparations are well underway.

This year's symposium focuses on two themes: the operational value of data, and scaling AI beyond pilots. It will bring together representatives from international organizations, airlines in China and abroad, and AI ecosystem partners. Together with industry experts and peers, they will explore the real value of data in aviation operations, discuss how AI can move from pilot projects to large-scale deployment, and map out the next stage of intelligent civil aviation operations.

Data-Driven · Intelligent Operations: Two Key 

TopicsDigital Transformation of Aviation Operations and Data Value Application

This topic covers global trends in aviation operations digitization across core business scenarios such as aeronautical information, AMM data, flight planning and airline operations. Representatives from international organizations and airlines in China and abroad will share hands-on digitization practices and operational experience.

AI and Large AI Models Powering Digital and Intelligent Aviation Operations

Together with AI ecosystem partners, this topic will explore AI-driven trajectory optimization, operations research algorithms, industry applications of large AI models, on-device large AI models and computing power infrastructure, and how AI can be deployed in high-reliability civil aviation scenarios.
