A
different format
Prompted by feedback last year, EAC 2013 will include both shorter discussion sessions and one much longer moderated debate. Most of the opening day of the conference will be devoted to an extended and moderated debate between the advocates and the critics of airport price regulation, and will include ten presentations either for or against regulation. Later sessions that day will analyse the range of different risks to which aviation is currently subject, and the different approaches to managing them.
The second conference day will start with the keynote Lecture. This will be followed by presentations on how to improve the management of aviation infrastructure given economic, technological and safety risks. The final session of the conference will analyse the appropriate mix of state and market policies to manage the air transport industry given the level of uncertainty.
