Issue 60 | October 2020

In a special roundtable feature, we bring in airport CEOs and stakeholders to answer the industry’s biggest questions: what steps should the aviation sector take in the short and long term to maximise its chances of recovery?

We take a look at layoffs and disruption in baggage handling after Swissport announced that its UK workforce would see drastic cuts, and ask how airports can diversify revenues to offset lower passenger footfall in terminals. We also find out whether e-learning training programmes for pilots will see a boost after the Covid-19 crisis.

In an in-depth analysis, we profile waste-reducing innovations being trialled at San Diego Airport, find out more about Saudi Arabia’s massive new airport being introduced to support luxury tourism in the area, and speak to Bristol-based Electric Aviation Group about its work to bring about the world’s first hybrid-electric regional aircraft that seats more than 70 people.
