The Airports and Airlines Winter Operations aviation conference, organised by Keilir Aviation Academy at Asbru Enterprise Park in Iceland, will see aviation experts from all over the world come together to discuss the lessons learnt from the airports and airlines winter operations in Europe in 2009 and 2010.
The aviation conference, which takes place in the Andrews Theater at Asbru Enterprise Park on October 10th 2011, will explore how technology, rules, regulations, airports equipment and personal training must be improved before the next winter snowfalls and storms in Europe. The effects of “extreme weather conditions” on airport and airlines operations will also be addressed.
Questions that the conference will address include; What has been learnt? What are the effects of winter snowfalls on airports and airplanes and can they been reduced? What technology is available for snow removal of runways, aircraft de-icing, etc.? What steps are to be taken by airports to minimise the threats that winter snow falls and storms poses to aviation?
Speakers attending the event come from civil aviation authorities in Europe, Russia and the U.S., the European Commission, OECD, EASA, FAA, AEA, ACI, ICAO, IATA, EUROCONTROL, airlines, airports and air navigation service providers, meteorological offices, as well as personnel from research organisations directly involved in supporting the aviation business and international and regional organisations.
The conference is organised by Air Transport News in cooperation with Keilir Aviation Academy, AEA, ACI, SITA, Icelandair and Kadeco.
