Securing Continued Economic Growth of your Region through the Development of Your Airport Services

Regional Airport Development is dedicated to highlighting the relationship between the airport, the council and the community in the region, to recognise and develop the economic value of regional airports.

Regional Airport Development 2012 is Australia’s third annual regional development event that connects airport managers, chief executives and commercial managers who are responsible for the economic developments and upgrades and expansions of the future. The Regional Airport Development 2012 conference will discuss increased service levels and development projects, meeting the rise of passenger traffic on regional routes and the impact this will have on the masterplan and existing airport resources.

Take a look at our resource centre with speaker profiles, industry news and more.

What Will Be New for 2012?

We’ve listened to your feedback from our previous events, and we’re evolving our conference format and agenda to deliver on what you’ve asked us for. Expect our agenda to focus on:

• Diversifying revenue streams, securing adequate funding and securing long-term commercial agreements with airlines
• Meeting requirements for security screening and regulatory compliance
• Provision of infrastructure in a climate of continuing resources growth

Regional Airport Development 2012 will present case studies on some of Australia’s greatest success stories, from small aerodromes with no regulated passenger traffic right through to some of the busiest regional airports.

The sustainability of airports is becoming increasingly important and hearing about the successes and tribulations of other airports further enhances your knowledge, networks and your ability to operate successfully in the future.

Naomi Searle, Manager Economic Development, BUNDABERG REGIONAL COUNCIL

This forum is wonderfully relevant to a Regional Airports such as Latrobe.

Neil Cooper, General Manager, LATROBE REGIONAL AIRPORT

It is important to be a part of this forum because regional airports are a vital piece of business and community infrastructure. They are, in many ways, the lifeblood of communities as they provide a gateway for commerce. There is no “one” answer to sustainability. Success comes from understanding the need for raising revenue and reducing costs from ‘lots of little things.
