| 09.35 | Low cost long haul to short haul connectivity – NextGen facilitation and technology Hub airports, usually congested, often with 'waves' or banks of flights connecting and the need for complex connectivity infrastructure, are not always welcoming towards LCCs. LCCs typically want low costs, simple facilities and quick turnarounds. But then some LCCs are also reorienting towards connecting operations, as well as wanting more adequate facilities as they increasingly target business travellers. Some are also more keen to be housed within the same terminal as FSCs, to take allow their customers to connect. In these circumstances, airports are faced with constantly shifting and conflicting airline needs/demands, with an array of airline types, from pure LCC, through hybrid to full service carriers. The sort of issues that constantly arise are for example:

| 10.35 | Unshackling the biggest challenge to growth: Airport Capacity There are numerous airports that have capacity issues. Slots are key to the issue, but more slots can be created through ACDM, rapid exit taxiways, more effective use of stand planning and optimisation, time based separation, terminal throughput and turn times, slot management practices, incentivising upgauging, and many other measures. Sometimes the issue is not runway capacity at all, but the constraints are political or related to terminal or aircraft parking infrastructure.

| 12.25 | What do Brexit, Trump and rising nationalism mean for aviation? The US has a major problem with ageing infrastructure and it is much broader than just airports. But airports are conspicuous, especially to politicians who use them frequently.
The departure of the UK from the European Union, which could take place in 2019, opens up a can of worms with regard to the regulatory and economic environment that will follow it and how that will impact on both of the divorced partners and the wider world as well. The discussion – which may be an animated one – will revolve around topics such as traffic rights (what will replace Open Skies?), airline ownership (which can influence which airlines can operate out of UK and European airports and into them, post Brexit), interpretations of international law, and the return of Duty Free sales at airports.
