EAD08 will assemble the leading representatives from the airports, airlines, aviation associations of the developed and developing countries as well as the European and national legislators to discuss the issues of the ever-faster moving world. According to the EU estimates, through implementation of the Schengen Agreements the air traffic by 2020 will double, therefore the topics of the conference will include the airport development and the potential of cooperation with Russia.
The most prominent experts of the industry will share their experience and address both strategic issues involving the state governments and the customer service. A vast range of issues will concern the development of airports in Europe:
- Diversification into airport cities
- Low cost airports
- How to minimise capital expenditure by efficient use of existing infrastructure
- New generation airport. Combining quality, flexibility and sustainable costs.
