He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- “It is interesting to see the trend amongst airlines shifting from those within the region itself, to include those from outside of the area wishing to set up links, like Spanair for example, who are coming to target African airports to achieve the carrier's business objectives of expanding its air service network in this region.
- This is a timely topic for airlines seeking to access Africa and China, and the aim is to offer African airport managers a plan for capitalizing on this trend and thereby secure further revenue streams for the airport operator.
- The second workshop, also held on the Sunday, will look into the rise of Arabian Gulf hub operations accessing the Chinese market as a direct result of the increased trade links between the two regions.
