Chairman's Introduction
Airport Investment ROI
Within the context of airport concessions that do not get off the ground or deliver expected ROI, as well as a 4th wave of new privatizations in the pipeline around the world (particularly in emerging markets such as Indonesia, India, Japan, Africa), we have brought together a distinguished panel of international operators representing mature and recent concessions to sharing their view on risk and return. How are investors and operators approaching the varied and increasing risks and challenges for airport concessions and hat solutions are open to private and public stakeholders to deliver all parties' return expectations and requirements. Could there be such a thing as a "Gold Standard" for structuring airport concessions that deliver?
How can we make airports that function better?
Beyond capex, how can all sides of the business collaborate to design and deliver an airport that really works from all perspectives: commercial, operational and passenger experience?
What is the next TCR?
Defining ‘core-plus’ in today’s market: how do airport services businesses compare and where should investors be looking for more ancillary assets?
Alternative models for gaining exposure to airports
With interest in the airport sector broadening from more varied types of investors, this session will examine alternative models for getting into this competitive market.
Transformational leadership: Q&A with Ellis Watson
All you've ever wanted to know about turning companies around, implementing new business models and what transformational leadership really means.
Considering the politics of PPPs
How can public and private partners address pre-conceptions and challenges to move airports up the political agenda and get deals done?
Transitioning from public to private
Change management and post-privatisation considerations for smoothly implementing new management strategies.
