News from the Industry

Momberger Airport Information: The Airport Industry is rising to its challenges

The global airport industry is meeting ongoing challenges with new technologies and better service to cope with the growing air traffic demand. The airport of the future will be a smarter airport.

Two years is a long time in the airport industry, so the biennial inter airport Europe is a good occasion to reflect on the developments since the previous event in October 2009 and to meet and network to discuss the best business tools and practices for the challenges of the coming years.

Among these challenges for the airport industry that have not gone away: political regulation and taxation, revenue management and diversification, environmental sustainability, implementation of new technologies, cost of security, service enhancement and capacity management.

Generally speaking, the dark clouds of the global recession that hung over the previous event in Munich have lifted to some extend and the global economic conditions for airports and suppliers look considerably brighter today than they did in 2009. However, the recovery is not happening around the globe at an equal pace. Some markets are already booming again, including Southeast Asia and China, whereas others, like Europe and North America, are still struggling under currency crisis, deficit and high unemployment.
