Practical strategies to reinvent the aviaition value chain
The 2012 conference seeks to develop practical strategies to reinvent the aviation ‘value chain’, that extensive range of organisations involved in air transportation (manufacturers, lessors, airports, carriers, ATC providers and others).
Individual sessions will hear presentations on the business relationship between airlines and airports; and between airlines; the respective merits of in-house production versus outsourcing; infrastructure and investment, and the general role of the state in aviation. The conference will close with a panel discussion by expert speakers about an emerging industry issue: has liberalisation has stalled in the European aviation sector and if so, what should be done about it?
What can you expect from this conference?
- A dialogue between government, regulators, researchers and industry;
- Rigorous and practical policy solutions to important aviation issues;
- The presence of aviation expertise from Europe and the rest of the world;
- Some of the best presentations of the year; and
