BALI. ACI Asia-Pacific has opened its tenth annual Small and Emerging Airports Seminar in Bali. The event runs from 20-22 October and is hosted by Indonesian airport operator Angkasa Pura Airports, under the theme “˜Navigating Aviation Growth and Challenges in Southeast Asia’.
Opening the meeting, ACI-Asia Pacific President Dennis Chant said: “Over the years the smaller and emerging airports in the Asia Pacific have been supported by ACI Asia-Pacific under this significant platform, which aims at promoting exchange of experiences among small yet emerging airports.”
Angkasa Pura Airports President Director Tommy Soetomo added: “Indonesia as a fast-growing country needs a strong foundation of world-class infrastructure, including modern airports. To keep pace with rising traffic demands, Indonesia needs to upgrade facilities in the areas of service, hospitality, science and research.
“Through international conferences like the ACI Asia-Pacific Small and Emerging Airports Seminar, where international aviation professionals will gather in Indonesia, we will surely benefit from the discussions as we examine the challenges we face in the Southeast Asia aviation industry.”
The event comprises a pre-seminar workshop on airport economics, the main conference and the ACI Asia-Pacific Small and Emerging Airports Network meeting.
