In a globalized economy, airports have become critical economic growth engines at national, regional and local levels. The quality of services and competitiveness of airports have a strong impact on surrounding regional economies. Enhancing connectivity, ensuring safety and security and providing quality services are key factors of competitive airports. Airports can be leveraged in many areas to create jobs and new activities in support of economic development. As a result airports should be viewed as an essential component of the urban planning process.
This by-invitation-only seminar brought together a group of 25 managers, directors of operations, senior government officials, civil aviation authorities and private sector representatives from Latin America to engage in high-level dialogue on airports as economic development engines. The discussions were facilitated by international airports representatives, leading academics, service providers, technology experts and representatives from the private sector, which allowed the progression of valuable networking and gaining insight to economic opportunities.
