Asia Aviation Outlook Panel - Asia-Pacific traffic has experienced gradual rebound
The Asia-Pacific region was initially hit hard by the pandemic, but some of the key markets in the region have also recovered more quickly than those in other parts of the world. While borders generally remain closed or are subject to quarantine restrictions that have a similar effect on travel, there have been some so-called green lanes established for essential travel, but in general the hoped-for travel bubbles have been slow to develop.
Hosted by CAPA chairman emeritus, Peter Harbison our panel discuss how markets are performing, the impact of the pandemic on the region's airports and if bilateral corridors will be effective in opening up markets.

The future of airports and airport design. COVID safe and cost-effective
Led by Foster and Partners, senior partner, Antoinette Nassopoulos Erickson we investigate the future of airports based on the aircraft that will occupy them in the post COVID-19 world. Will there be fewer full-service airlines and fewer widebodies? Will longer-haul narrowbodies come to the fore - if so, what implications on airport/apron design?
Will the LCCs thrive and therefore heighten concerns over airport 'gold-plating' and efficient turnarounds? Will more terminal space be needed for physical distancing on the eventual rebound - and will that take a bite out of F&B and retail space?
