Strong Lineup of Speakers for 12th ACI Asia-Pacific Regional Assembly, Conference & Exhibition

The 12th ACI Asia-Pacific Regional Assembly, Conference and Exhibition will be held from April 10 – 12, 2017 in Doha, Qatar. The event will bring all sectors of the global aviation industry players together to discuss the latest trends and strategies through dynamic presentations and interactive panel discussion.

One of the highlights of the program will be the Leaders’ Forum on April 11. (Information about the other sessions can be found in the Event website : http://aci-apaa2017.com/) Leaders’ Forum: What Defines a Best Airport?

No two airports are the same as each operates under very different conditions in terms of aviation and commercial activities, site constraints, governance and ownership structure, etc.

Aside from the memorable passenger journey experience and unique attributes that are now expected at some of the world’s top airports, what then defines tomorrow’s best airports? Should the best airport excel in environmental stewardship? Should it be measured on its effectiveness in productivity and cost? Or is it financially and commercially sound? What about the basics, like safety and security? The forum will look at some of the key performance indicators that set the best from the rest. with the following speakers confirmed:
