IATA

Speaker Biograghy: As Head of Airport Development at IATA, David oversees major airport expansion and construction programmes at key airports around the world. The object of IATA’s participation is to ensure that the aviation industry receives value for money for the major investments being made in airport infrastructure. This is achieved by encouraging active and constructive dialogue between airport owners and developers and airline representatives with a strategic knowledge of upcoming aviation developments. David’s familiarity with both the planning and operation of airports from the perspective of the airlines, the airport owner/operator and as a professional aviation consultant has provided him with a unique industry perspective on how to influence and enhance the passenger journey.

However, early engagement and a high level of transparency between all stakeholders enabled development of a bankable collaborative solution that met the needs of everyone.
