Bologna hosted the international Aviation-Event conference
Mayor of Bologna Virginio Merola, President of Aeroporto di Bologna Enrico Postacchini, CEO of Aviation-Event Marcel Riwalsky and president of Emilia-Romagna Region Stefano Bonaccini have officially opened the international Aviation-Event conference to discuss strategies and best practices for the recovery of the sector.
Since 2008, the conference brings influential representatives of the world of aviation, tourism and industry companies together to discuss the most current topics and to reach common solutions to the issues that occur in the industry.
The event was attended by than 30 speakers of national and international level, 160 participants and a large number of specialized media. The aim was to find a common path for a sustainable recovery, forging an industry capable of adapting to extreme and sudden events.
Marcel Riwalsky, CEO Aviation-Event, says: “We are very happy to team up with our host partners, Bologna Airport and Bologna Welcome, to stage Aviation-Event 2021 BLQ. Bologna is an emerging regional hub for aviation, tourism and commerce, befitting the event’s ambition to act as a catalyst for critical debate and outcomes that help lead the industry’s path into the post-pandemic future.”
Enrico Postacchini, President of Bologna Airport stated: “It is not by chance that this initiative is held here in Bologna. It has been a long work started a year ago to bring for the first time the symposium here in Italy, and we have succeeded thanks to an excellent identity card, an international airport that offers high-level services to a catchment area of more than 47 thousand companies with a strong propensity to export and internationalization of “the made in Italy”. Companies often market leaders in the field of engines, biomedical, automatic machines and food. All served by Bologna Airport. But also, a tourist destination that in recent years has seen a very strong development”.
The panels dealt with topics such as business travel, innovation, new approaches (i.e. Covid free flights), sustainable development and investments.
