Delegates of the conference session on Day 3 (3 March) will gain insights on the opportunities in several key markets throughout Asia as new airport infrastructure development plans unfold and understanding the underlying drivers behind the growth and need for major airport infrastructure investments.
“We are at a critical juncture in Asia with passenger traffic recovering rapidly and likely to reach a full recovery late this year or next year. Once growth resumes airports will be rushing to get ahead of the curve. As more terminals and runways are reaching their maximum capacity, there is an associated need for more equipment. There is hardly a market in Asia that will not have expansion plans in the next few years, but every market is different in terms of their growth trajectory and requirement,” said Brendan Sobie, Independent Analyst & Consultant, Sobie Aviation.
