IATA Day

Meet the Airlines - IATA, together with key representatives of a number of its major airline members, will be discussing the challenges we are facing together as we implement many of the IATA programmes that have been outlined at previous PTE conferences. The airline speakers, together with representatives from the airports where they are working on these initiatives, will talk about how they perceive the implementation process, both the opportunities and the challenges.

- Panel discussion: The new Mexico Airport

Synopsis: Together with airlines, (Aeromexico/Delta/Skyteam), airport and consulting colleagues, the panel will consider the new Mexico Airport development and the opportunity it provides to build a new 21st century airport.

Panellists will use graphics to demonstrate their interpretations.
