Afternoon Sessions

presented by key business partners working with airport operators to maximise the economic returns from different projects that benefit from proximity to the airport to increase passenger flow and to create value.

The vital air transportation partnership
A session dedicated to the structural changes taking place in air transportation and its effect on airport planning and development. The successful, vibrant airport city has traditionally been closely linked with a strong partner airline at the airport. We assess the impact on airlines and airports from the emergence of the new breed of low cost carriers. How will airline and airport operators adapt their operational structure and cost base to meet this challenge and what will be the impact of this on future development of aviation facilities?
