4th annual Airport Development Summit

Airport Development Summit 2010

Driving industry collaboration for greater revenue and growth

Now in its the 4th year, the acclaimed Aviation Business Asia Pacific Magazine’s Airport Development Summit will continue to provide the ideal platform for industry and government to exchange ideas and perspectives, debate new initiatives and network to enhance the development of the airports in this country.

The events of the past eighteen months have highlighted the need for the airport industry to reflect on its function and role from a broader range of perspectives. Emerging from a traditional culture of utility provider to commercial entity has firmly placed economic performance of airports centre stage, whether remaining publicly owned or privatised. 2009 tested this objective and moving into 2010, airport owners and operators are looking for innovative ways to work with the broader community.

This year, the 4th annual Airport Development Summit will focus on areas designed to assist the dialogue between important industry stakeholders:

• Examining best practice revenue generation strategies
• Understanding how the industry can work together to enhance profitability
• Drilling down on the trend towards airports as multi-functional commercial centres
• Digesting the repercussions of the Aviation White Paper and subsequent security regulations

Featuring key contributions from:

• Phil Baker, Managing Director, Adelaide Airport
• David Blackwell, Director, Rockhampton Airport
• Bill Burke, Chief Executive, Mildura Airport
• Dennis Chant, Managing Director, Queensland Airports
• Mark Dal Pra, Executive Manager Operations, Jetstar Airways
