A content-rich and intensive investigative session includes presenters from the perspective of Airports, Service Providers and Airlines. This panel will include key PRM figures from Europe and North America who will invite attendees into an interactive deep-dive, exploring operational strategies, mechanisms and policies to ascertain efficiency, effectiveness and appropriateness of the keys to a successful airport assisted services operation.

The ongoing uncertainty of travel resulted in shifting the conference from its traditional physical setting to a virtual environment, a decision that hasn’t deterred interest nor registrations. If anything, it would seem the online setting has made the stage more accessible to a wider audience as we see Service Managers, PRM Directors and Operational Directors registering from around the globe. At present stakeholders from 26 countries and 4 continents have confirmed their attendance.

As in previous years the topics of discussion will centre on the management, operation and policies of Passenger with Reduced Mobility Services. 2020 has certainly presented unique challenges and innovative solutions to secure high-risk passengers. The 2-day schedule promises to be an insightful and thought-provoking event.

NEW

We have set up a Slack server so PRM stakeholders can share experiences, challenges and ideas throughout the year.
