"The conference has addressed all of the right issues. There have been very interesting insights from our colleagues regarding different challenges. The mix of speakers has been interesting and there has been a nice level of interaction, with lots of questions from the audience. The theme of the conference is absolutely right – we need to put the passenger first. We have to understand what the passenger wants; that is the future for airports – it is vital."
