Panel discussion: Hub development across Asia and Pacific
18 Mar 2026
Room 9
Day 2 - Airport design, planning and development – Middle East and Asia Pacific
Airport hub development across Asia Pacific is shifting from volume to value. The Hub Connectivity Index reframes success around transfer quality and network strength, not just seat capacity. At the same time, major hubs are expanding and modernising infrastructure to meet rising demand and strengthen global positioning. Beyond physical growth, policy leadership, sustainability frameworks and innovation are becoming decisive competitive advantages. By aligning connectivity quality with scalable infrastructure and forward-looking regulation, aviation authorities and operators can unlock stronger collaboration and build smarter, more resilient airport ecosystems that drive regional growth while reinforcing global air links.
