Issues of vital importance to the future of the airport industry were addressed at the Assembly including airport contribution to the development of tourism, infrastructure challenges faced by airports in the region, airport security, and how technological innovation opportunities can become solutions in improving passenger experience. Matters relating to the impact on economic development, social responsibility, and environmental protection were also discussed.
Andrew O’Brian, who also participated as panelist at the Airport CEOForum, highlighted the importance of this type of meetings. “Airport activity is one of the most dynamic in the world, and it is essential to debate and share experiences in order to better understand our role in the economic and social development of our countries and define where our efforts should be directed to adequately meet the demands of our clients, which include airlines and passengers,” said O’Brian.
