Although both the Canadian and US airport sectors took a hit in 2020 due to flight restrictions and COVID-19 contagion strategies, great untapped potential remains. To do so, operators and government officials will have to work together to restore not only operations, but also consumer trust in the airport sector. This GRI Club Infra eMeeting seeks to go beyond the immediate impact of the pandemic to understand how each country will restore the sector and create strategies to further bolster its future efficiency and resilience.
Discussion will touch on
- State of Play - How are various private operators viewing the USA airport market currently and in the near term?
- Can Public Airport Infrastructure Benefit From Public Bonds Funding?
- Assessing Competitive Models to Boost the USA Airports Sector.
- What Role Can Private Equity Firms Play in the Market?
- Can the Canadian Airports Market be a Good Surprise to Find Value?
