The second session, Developing airport infrastructure in Asia – Challenges & Opportunities; will ask what the main challenges that airports face are whilst also looking at what lessons can be learned from across the globe and which models work, where the money is coming from and how can the ROI for investors be balanced against the needs of airlines and passengers?
