Hosted by Uber
Airports worldwide are facing growing landside pressure, from congestion and curbside complexity to evolving passenger expectations. In this interactive session, Uber and airport leaders will explore how landside must evolve from a traffic-management challenge into strategic infrastructure. Drawing on real-world airport partnerships, the discussion will examine where the landside experience breaks down today, what a blank-slate redesign could look like, and how airports can reduce congestion while improving passenger flow and commercial outcomes. The dynamic session will be followed by lunch and dedicated networking time, giving attendees the opportunity to connect with industry peers and continue the conversation.
- Why airport landside is becoming strategic infrastructure – not just a traffic-management challenge
