27 August 2021 at the Palazzo Re Enzo in BolognaFasten your seat belts because Aviation-Event is about to take off for the first time in Italy, in Bologna. A „strategic airport“ in the centre of Italy’s industrial north, Bologna (BLQ) ranks as the eighth-largest Italian airport by number of passengers. Located in the heart of the Emilian “Food Valley” and the automotive and packaging districts, the airport has a catchment area of about 11 million inhabitants and around 47,000 companies, with a strong propensity towards exports and internationalisation alongside commercial expansion policies to Eastern Europe and Asia.
Aviation-Event 2021 Bologna will be held in the beautiful historical setting of Palazzo Re Enzo, and organized in collaboration with Bologna Welcome, the conventions & visitors bureau for Bologna’s metropolitan area. Presenting the destinations of Bologna, the Emilia-Romagna region and Italy itself, the conference will bring together top international aviation and air transport systems, tourism, industry, media players and decision makers; on the agenda will be discussions surrounding the most relevant and current challenges for the airport and aviation sector, sharing best practices on business, tech innovation, and the green economy, as well as analysis of present and future scenarios.
