Panel discussion: Gateways to the Americas – challenges and opportunities of hub
Gateways across the Americas, from Canada and the USA in the north to Colombia, Peru and Argentina in the south, are embarking on major expansion programs to meet capacity demand.

The panelists will share examples and case studies illustrating how this delicate balance will be addressed in the coming years in the plans and designs at their respective airports.
The audience will learn:
- Challenges of airports in the Americas
