Airline route development, sustainability best practices, technological advancements in airport operations, passenger experience and security and aviation’s role in promoting cultural exchange and tourism are key focuses.

Outgoing Newcastle Airport CEO Dr Peter Cock said hosting the Roundtable highlighted the greater Hunter region’s growing importance as a key regional hub.

“This event will attract domestic and international airline network teams and marks a pivotal moment to showcase our region from the Barrington Coast down to the Entrance,” Dr Cock said.

“It will coincide with the grand opening of our new terminal, which will open the Hunter region to the world, boosting tourism, enhancing business opportunities and driving economic growth.”

The Roundtable brings together state government representatives, state and local tourism organisations, airlines and the Tourism Australia Aviation Manager.

Destination NSW CEO Steve Cox said the opening of Newcastle’s international terminal will mark a major milestone for the state’s visitor economy, with the Roundtable offering an ideal opportunity to showcase the region’s growing potential on the world stage.

“Destination NSW is proud to support this event through our Business Events NSW program, which will give delegates the chance to foster meaningful connections and experience the region’s world-class food and wine, stunning natural landscapes and rich cultural offerings first-hand,” Mr Cox said.

The Airports Roundtable is organised by Ailevon Pacific, an international aviation consultancy firm supporting airports, airlines and tourism organisations in air service development.
