Presentation

Panel discussion: Greenfield airports: the challenges and enablers for future aviation growth

Building a brand-new airport from the ground up is, for many aviation professionals, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but one that comes with unique challenges. This session will explore how airports in APAC are addressing these challenges, what their current priorities are, and how they are planning for their opening. Top of mind for airports is enabling sustainable, seamless aviation growth and the future passenger experience through technology. The presentation will also explore key cultural considerations and differences between the two airports and how this has shaped their vision and planning.

The audience will learn:

  • Current focus of both greenfield airports – airport construction phase, system integration and operational readiness planning
  • The role technology will play in the future vision of the airport
  • Significant and interesting cultural differences in Australia and India that shape each airport's vision and planning
  • The value of working with a technology partner as part of a connected ecosystem
