Presentation
Panel discussion: Planning perspectives - North American airline and airport industry trends
We have heard the term 'new normal' a lot lately in aviation, but what does that really mean? This panel brings together some of the airports and airlines in North America that are actively evolving post-pandemic, whether through construction projects, new technologies, or new initiatives. The discussion will dive into what the panelists are seeing from each unique perspective, and how each stakeholder is thinking about capacity needs, technology and facility development. Lessons learned will also be shared by the panelists.
