THE EVENT
This will be ACI EUROPE’s 6th conference and exhibition dedicated to regional airports. The Regional Airports’ Forum group’s prime objective is to represent the interests of ACI EUROPE’s regional airport members to the European institutions and national authorities. It is focussing on increasing the visibility of the important contribution that regional airports make to the connectivity of Europe’s regions, the mobility of its citizens and the economic performance of their communities, as well as addressing their specific challenges.
The purpose of the Forum is to better address the specific needs of ACI EUROPE’s regional airport members, and to provide them with a more visible platform on which to exchange knowledge, share best practices and discuss issues of common interest.
*ACI EUROPE's Regional Airports'Conference & Exhibition is open to both Regional Airports' Forum members and non-members.
