Despite previous year-on-year assisted passenger growth, much like the entire aviation sector, service for passengers with reduced mobility has been massively affected by the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic.
Pfizer and BioNTech’s announcement of a potential vaccine suggesting 90% effectiveness has sent waves of widespread hope that passenger recovery can be expected in 2021. If the past 9 months have been dominated by service survival strategies the next 9 will be dominated by an ability to adapt to a potential swing in passenger trends. The indicators are pointing toward a positive 2021 summer air traffic season.
The 5th edition of the Airport PRM Leadership Conference comes at a pivotal moment for all stakeholders of assisted services, this year's theme is "Rising to the Challenge".
The industry has had to adapt, operational strategies for passenger recovery are now being formulated and the sharing solutions is more critical than ever. The two-day event will take place on December 9th and 10th providing a platform for all PRM stakeholders to discuss operational takeaways, strategies, policy successes, and failures. A safe space, where every attendee will gain insight from speakers who voluntarily share their experiences and observations. This year’s event promises to transfer the traditionally physically interactive format into an online environment, attendees will be asked to share their insights and thoughts.
