09:35 - 10:05 - Catalytic effects of aviation and the importance for airport development
Synopsis: The connectivity that aviation and airports bring has major effects far away from the actual airport area. It shortens travel time for people and goods, it increases productivity, creates new business models, makes it easier to attract foreign investments and labour, and opens up new markets for trade. This is in addition to the major spending that is created by foreign visitors when connectivity increases.
