Our priority for this event is to tell the story behind the landmark new airport in Istanbul, from conception to delivery. The key means by which this will be achieved is through two unique conferences. These will be complemented by a series of conference sessions led by Future Travel Experience, which will provide a platform for leading airport and airline speakers from around the world to share their latest strategies and visions.
A deep-dive on the story behind the new airport. You can expect to hear from senior executives from İGA, Turkish Airlines and the other key partners to the project, who will share insight on how the new airport was approached, the challenges that were overcome along the way, and the key learnings other industry stakeholders can take away and apply to their own development projects.
Global powerhouse: The strategy propelling Istanbul Airport to become the biggest hub in Europe in the 2020s
The ground-breaking technical innovations behind the biggest and most advanced airport in the world
The robust green credentials of Turkey’s largest LEED-certificated airport
The future intensification of İGA’s commercial and retail strategy
Istanbul Airport as an export showcase for Turkish airports and Turkish airports’ know-how
HubLAB Istanbul is an intensive examination of new route opportunities and frequencies from Istanbul Airport. It is the second in a series of conferences staged and prominently promoted in association with www.anna.aero – the leading airline network planning and analysis news service. Note: anna.aero is also wholly-owned by PPS.
Main conference themes and topics:
The ambitions of a resurgent Turkish Airlines Hub to EMEA, Asia, and North/ South American markets
What new route propositions does an uncongested mega-hub offer to other airline partners? (for instance TK has expressed interest in establishing more interline partnerships with Asian airlines – ANA, Singapore, Korean etc).
The power of a combined super-brand encapsulating: global airline, mega transfer hub, the City of Istanbul, and Turkish tourism.
