There’s no better platform than the Airport Operations & Land Use Seminar for interacting with BOA staff, FAA officials, airport consultants, and other airport managers all in one place. As always, we aim to provide airport professionals with the information and tools needed to take on the day’s challenges.
In addition to the typical agency updates, much of this year's agenda will focus on the fundamentals of airport operations, planning, and development.
