Each of our panelists previously held a planning role with an airline, but now sits on the other side of the table, either representing an airport, or assisting airports in the pursuit of new air service. Learn the differences between how airlines and airports analyze new services, hear what airports do well and what they don t do well, and take some air service advice from our experts who have taken part in route development from more than one perspective.

Data analysis, fleet tracking and schedule review all must be incorporated into strategic air service planning. Having an understanding how to assess and prioritize your opportunities on a periodic basis is key for an industry that is very dynamic and includes both short term shocks and longer term goals. This session will focus on how to approach strategic planning for air service in a smart way that doesn t lead to inefficiencies later on. What does it mean for airports of different size? How can it help you internally manage expectations? How often should the exercise be done and with what tools? What format can you use? How often should it be updated?
