08:45 - 09:00 - Opening address for Passenger Terminal CONFERENCE 2015

Day 1 - 10 March
Session: Airport Design, Planning & Development

09:10 - 09:35 - Ensuring long-term airport management in a dubious environment
Synopsis: The management and planning of airports depends heavily on projections of the future needs of a wide range of stakeholders (clients (both airlines and passengers), local and national government and regulators, neighbours). There is an upward trend for air travel but long-term trends are increasingly immune from short-term economic pressures, including growing competition and public spending adjustments. Business requirements and technological achievements change more and more rapidly, putting pressure on our traditional 20-years-time horizon.
