The global aviation industry is on the path for further growth propelled by the strengthening emerging markets offsetting any weaknesses stemming from US and Europe. The Asian region is forecast as the fastest growing aviation market over the next 20 years with the highest fleet growth. In order to meet an exponential growth in aircraft movements and the onset of new aircraft designs, greater demands are being placed on the airfield engineering and maintenance departments.
Quality maintenance of the airfield assets through coordination, speed and efficiency is the ultimate goal for all airport engineering and maintenance heads. Hence it is imperative that more innovative methods are developed and employed in order to ensure the sustainability of new and existing of airfield assets while shrinking costs of maintenance.
With Hong Kong Airport en route to expanding their operational capabilities and Beijing slated to overtake Atlanta as the world’s busiest airport, Hong Kong presents the ideal platform for the Airfield Engineering and Asset Maintenance 2012.
This forum will bring together key stakeholders from airports across the region and highlight major global players to share world-class approaches to airfield pavement design and maintenance, rebuild and extension projects.
