Focus: How introducing more automation and/or autonomy for general aviation could increase safety, accessibility and sustainability. Reducing pilot workload Preventing loss of control in flight Lowering training requirements and proficiency training What needs to be addressed to make this happen?

This webinar identified primary risks associated with common contracts used by airports of all sizes, including construction, concession, ground transportation, professional services, repair/maintenance, vendor/purchasing, software/IT agreements, and airline signatory agreements. The presenters discussed methods to address, shift, or allocate associated risks using contractual provisions. This webinar also provided an overview of issues related to labor-harmony or labor-peace agreements. Airports have a diverse labor force and are increasingly being asked to become involved in matters that historically were reserved for private employers to address with their own employees. These matters include setting minimum wage rates, establishing safety/training baselines, and requiring “labor-harmony” or “labor-peace” agreements at the subject airports.

5G is a new wireless standard that is set to vastly improve connectivity between people, devices, and things. It is no wonder that rapid advances in network technology are quickly approaching and airports are increasingly challenged to keep up with strategies for the 5G world. Dallas Love Field (DAL) Director of Aviation Mark Duebner and Boingo Senior Vice President of Business Development Doug Lodder will explore how 5G technology will change the airport landscape and cover what executives need to do now to prepare for this new era in wireless.
