The goal is to examine in rare detail the various high level issues that shape where the world's airlines are heading - that is: the next generations of airlines.
"As low cost airlines evolve and take on more of the characteristics of full service carriers and each seeks to connect more effectively to the other, a whole array of legal, operational, strategic, commercial and technological issues arises. The Airlines in Transition forum is designed to explore how this new industry is evolving, sharing experiences from every region of the world and from a variety of airlines", said Mr Harbison.
"Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) is delighted to host this influential gathering of airline CEOs and senior executives," said DAA Deputy Chief Executive, Oliver Cussen. "On their visit to Dublin and Wicklow they'll experience at first hand the warm Irish welcome in 2013, which is the year of The Gathering and see the huge potential to grow their business to Dublin and Cork airports."
