ACI-WORLD BANK ANNUAL AVIATION SYMPOSIUM PROGRAMMETUESDAY, 24 MARCH 2020

08:00 - 09:00 REGISTRATION & REFRESHMENTS ON ARRIVAL

09:00 - 09:30 INTRODUCTION

09:30 - 11:00 SESSION ONE: DEMOGRAPHIC SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC TRENDS IN AIR TRANSPORTAs air travel continues to extend its reach to the world’s populations through affordable choices, the demographic composition of the world is changing. Whereas many advanced economies continue to experience an ageing population, major emerging markets have observed an expansion in their working age populations and increased living standards, which has contributed to a burgeoning middle class. The link between changes in population and income levels with air transport demand are evident. Thus, air transport forecasts are crucial for airport planning and the determination of future capacity requirements to support investment decisions. This session will provide a data-driven summary of the main demographic characteristics of the airport industry drawing on ACI’s World Airport Traffic Forecasts and the latest cutting-edge research from the ACI’s Airport Service Quality (ASQ) programme.

11:00 - 11:30 NETWORKING REFRESHMENT BREAK

11:30 - 13:00 SESSION TWO: FINANCING AIRPORT INFRASTRUCTURE THROUGH THE BUSINESS CYCLETwenty years after the historical peak of airport privatizations and the beginning of major expansions by both public and private operators, the interest of investors towards the airport sector moderated. As the U.S. economy marked the longest expansion in the American history—over 120 consecutive months as of summer 2019 following the Great Recession of 2008, and with the escalating trade tensions between the major economies, some indicators point towards a recession, with the associated slowdown in manufacturing output and downturn in business confidence.Asset valuations across most industries including the airport sector are somewhat above historical averages, even though they can go even higher if investors believe that central banks will hold interest rates at lower levels for longer time. However, the historical patterns of late cycle point to a less favorable risk-return profile for assets as compared to the earlier phases of the business cycle, potentially representing a challenge for the airport industry in attracting financing to expand, modernize and efficiently accommodate strong air travel demand.

13:00 - 14:00 NETWORKING LUNCH

14:00 - 16:00 SESSION THREE: WBP ROUND TABLESThe World Business Partner Round Tables offer a unique opportunity for delegates to benefit from exclusive advice from notable aviation consultants while debating current and future issues in an informal setting. Join the discussion and present your questions and challenges to your peers for a robust deliberation.

WHAT IS THE PRIVATE SECTOR’S APPETITE FOR INVESTING IN AIRPORTS?

10:15 - 10:45 NETWORKING REFRESHMENT BREAK IN THE EXHIBITION

10:45 - 11:15 SPECIAL PRESENTATION

11:15 - 12:15 SESSION ONE: PRIVATISATION AS A PATH TO UPGRADE INFRASTRUCTURE AND DELIVER A BETTER PASSENGER EXPERIENCE

People expect more from the airports they use as the air transport market evolves. Today air transport is a buoyant and vigorous sector of economic output and value creation for society, and users of airports can fully carry the costs while still allowing dynamic developments. Governments have turned to the private sector to develop maintain and operate airports for a variety of reasons. With a need for large capital expenditure into airports globally, at the same time as travelers expect higher quality services in airports, what benefits can private sector participation bring?

12:15 - 13:30 SESSION TWO: PROTECT OR INNOVATE? OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS TO COMMERCIAL REVENUES

Non-aeronautical revenues are an important component to the airports’ bottom. However, with demographic and technological change, the airport industry continues to experience major business model transformation in a relatively short period of time. Commercial revenue sources such as food and beverage face continued growth, while conventional product categories that are a source of duty-free revenue such as tobacco are under threat by government efforts to restrict their sale. Other exogenous factors relate to the rise of sharing economy platforms in transportation and real estate that have cannibalized traditional sources of revenues in car parking, car rental and hotel revenues. How can the industry protect the commercial revenue base in the context of technological disruption and heightened regulatory oversight? What are some product innovations, new service offerings and pricing strategies that airports could devise to mitigate declines in their commercial revenues in certain areas?

13:30 - 14:30 NETWORKING LUNCH IN THE EXHIBITION

14:30 - 16:00 SESSION THREE: BUILDING AIRPORTS FOR RESILIENCE AND SUSTAINABILITY – CLIMATE BONDS AND GREEN FINANCING

Green financing represents an important and viable alternative that aims to align sustainable development solutions with the required financial flows to meet those goals. Can the objectives of private investors be reconciled with the broader environmental concerns that relate to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)? How does green financing strike the balance between environmental accountability and a reasonable rate of return? Panelist will answer these and more questions.

16:00 - 16:30 NETWORKING REFRESHMENT BREAK IN THE EXHIBITION

16:30 - 17:45 SESSION FOUR: ALTERNATIVES TO THE CONVENTION – ISLAMIC FINANCE AND INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT

The growth of Islamic finance continues to reach double digits year-after-year in terms of the value of underlying assets with sukuk bond issues making up a significant portion of the Islamic banking market. According to Thomson Reuters’ 2018 Islamic Finance Development Report, in 2017 Sharia-compliant assets reached a total value of $2.44 trillion, up from $200bn in 2003. At the same time, the industry has been concentrated in only a handful of markets covering mainly the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, Iran and Malaysia. What are some advantages of this financing option in the context of airports over other conventional approaches? What are some of the untapped markets for Islamic finance and what are the prospects for airport infrastructure development in the coming years?

09:00 - 09:15 WELCOME ADDRESS

09:15 - 10:45 SESSION FIVE: THE CAPACITY CRUNCH AND ECONOMIC OVERSIGHTIrrespective of the global economic slowdown over the near term, airports in many parts of the world continue to experience capacity constraints. From a regulatory standpoint, how can we ensure and incentivize the adequate provision of infrastructure to meet the growing demand for air transport over the long term? What are the appropriate models of airport economic regulation that induce greater allocative efficiency in the provision of infrastructure but that also enable a reasonable return on investment? These and more questions will be answered by a panel of experts.

10:45 - 11:15 NETWORKING REFRESHMENT BREAK IN THE EXHIBITION

11:15 - 12:30 SESSION SIX: USING MARKET MECHANISMS WHEN DEMAND EXCEEDS SUPPLYThe launch of the Worldwide Airport Slot Guidelines (WASG) marks an important step forward in the aviation industry and chronologically follows the reform of the governance signed last June in Seoul. The WASG provide the necessary foundations to define the slot allocation system at global level but more will be done to help the aviation ecosystem to face the increasing congestion on the ground. In particular, how do we complement the administrative allocation of slots with market mechanisms that are responsive to the needs of passengers and aviation stakeholders?
