| The Amsterdam Air Transport Industry Seminar |
 |
The new Air Transport Industry Seminar has been launched to meet a strong and growing demand from industry professionals for a programme that provides an up-to-date, strategic overview of the industry. It will be held between 28 June and 30 June 2005 at the Radisson SAS Hotel, close to Schiphol Airport Amsterdam.
The Seminar will be presented by the Airline Consulting Group-UK (ACG-UK). It will draw on their practical knowledge of the industry and their wide experience of working at the highest levels of airlines, airports, aircraft leasing companies, financial institutions and government agencies.
Amsterdam has been chosen as the location for the Seminar because it has a large air transport and aerospace community. It also offers easy connections from all the key centres of Europe, excellent accommodation and a business-friendly environment.
The Air Transport Industry Seminar will examine the most important issues now facing the key players in the business – airlines, airports, air traffic management service providers, aerospace companies and the financial institutions. It will take a market-orientated approach and examine the changing wants and needs of airline and airport customers, and other industry users. It will examine the fundamentals of airline and aircraft economics, regulation and deregulation, demand analysis, traffic forecasting, airline financing, aircraft leasing, recent developments amongst the low cost carriers and their impact on the wider industry, airline alliances and the challenges facing the industry.
ACG-UK has teamed with Amsterdam-based Aerospace Industry Marketing & Sales Support (AIM-SS) to facilitate arrangements and simplify the booking process. |
