Market Growth – Constraints and Opportunities

Panel Session 1
State of the industry - security, safety & capacity challenges
2016 has been a year of challenges, as terrorism disrupts cities and travel, while migrants and viruses cross borders at will. How do tourism destinations cope with new threats? Is there a new reality in aviation that disruptions will be regular? Is a new era of information sharing needed? Meanwhile, from London to Shanghai and Sao Paulo, the industry struggles to handle billions more passengers. Are we at peak capacity or is there more to come? The forecasts indicate growth but how will the markets cope as already many airports are at capacity with no plans for expansion in place.

The Asian miracle – where do we go from here?
Asian growth has continued unabated for a decade. Even China’s slowing is slight, and there are 14,000 more aircraft coming to Asia by 2034. Where will they go? How can airport planners cope? How can airlines help governments look ahead? Is consolidation likely?
