News - VIII Sector Meeting

On October 3 and 4, 2022, ITAérea Argentina participated in the VIII Airport Sector Meeting held at the Hilton hotel in Buenos Aires. The conference was attended by more than 500 general directors of airports from around the world, who had the opportunity to share their ideas, experiences and vision on strategic issues for the airport sector.

The importance of this meeting required the collaboration of prestigious institutions such as Airports Council International in the Latin American Region (ACI LAC).

• Integration of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM – eVTOL) at aerodromes.
• Optimizing airport operations with technology.
