GAIN A COMPETITIVE EDGE WITH EFFECTIVE BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AND AIRPORT MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS WHY THIS CONFERENCE The Asian air transport industry is rapidly being shaped by new global developments in the economic, technological, and political spheres. Soaring fuel prices, shifts in travel patterns and growing importance of the low cost aviation sector combine to influence airport development and management trends. In recent years, budget airlines, big aircraft carriers, and airport privatisation have also emerged as chief drivers of the industry s trends. Major stakeholders hoping to obtain a bigger market share have to understand and address these critical aspects of the industry in order to successfully plan and invest in the business. According to IATA s 2005-2009 forecast, Asia will be enjoying rapid international air traffic growth, with passenger air traffic within Asia Pacific alone estimated to grow 6.8%. To cope with the resulting challenges, airports aiming for sustainable growth, maximum profits and global recognition as a state-of-the-art aviation hub will have to quickly respond and adapt to deal with new market demands. Undoubtedly, there is an increasing need for airports to improve efficiency, raise security and safety standards, and at the same time provide better value for money. So, what strategies can key airport decision-makers adopt to ensure cost-effective airport planning? What critical steps should be taken to create a successful public private partnership? What marketing methods can be used to help position Asian airports for growth and gain competitive edge? And to which markets should investors direct their investments for the best possible returns? All these questions - and more - will be addressed at Asia Business Forum s 2006 Asian Airports Conference. Hundreds of top industry leaders from around the world have attended and benefited from Asia Business Forum s annual Asian Airports Conference over the years - and this years promises to be the best yet!
