Executive Briefing Sessions -

Simplifying the Business... Reducing Costs
Perhaps the main challenge facing air transport is the need to reduce costs. This means looking at new ways of doing business. These will impact not only airlines but also airports and other partners. This two-part briefing will involve experienced airline and airport CEO's as well as other industry leaders.

Session 1 - The Airline Business

Airline systems are often complex – and costly.  Is the time ripe for radical action to simplify procedures?  To accelerate the introduction of more efficient technology?  To more aggressively tackle the opportunities provided through out-sourcing?
