Panel discussion: Runway to airport modernization – overcoming challenges and embracing the future

The panel will discuss the major challenges airports face as global air travel steadily returns to pre-pandemic levels while the airport industry faces significant operational and infrastructural challenges. We will touch on deploying large capital programs that have to balance the critical need to replace aging legacy assets that are at end of life and capacity and address the need to expand infrastructure and develop data and systems to enable effective management, while minimizing operational impact and harnessing digital ecosystems and data to drive B2C business models and revitalize the passenger experience.

The audience will learn:

• Methods to effectively modernize capital planning and asset management for airport programs
• Key areas of focus to organize systems and data to accelerate capital deployment and asset renewal
• Options to utilize digital transformation to transform passenger experience
• Deployment of effective oversight and governance to drive infrastructure and passenger outcomes
