Beverly Regional Airport Shares Non-Aeronautical Revenues – Reviving Passenger And Business Confidence

Press release from Beverly Regional Airport:

April 28, 2021

With 38 countries represented, this was an excellent conference put together by Andrew Hazell and the Chair Chris LeTourneur President & Chief Executive Officer, MDX Development Strategies.

Conference overview

Most airports face serious disruption to their finances and operations, with traffic and revenue forecasts in tatters and millions of aviation jobs threatened worldwide.

The longer-term implications are exacerbated by a perfect storm of collapsed traffic, growing pressures on traditional retail and concession models and, most critically, a rapid and radical shift in customer needs, mindsets and behaviour in response to the pandemic crisis.

Leading experts and industry stalwarts helped guide us through the current challenges and the future outlook.

Said Airport Manager, Gloria Bouillon, “I was honored to speak on the CEO Panel with Chair Chris LeTourneur with Chief Executive Officer Mark A. Thorpe, Ontario International Authority and Executive Director Bill Wyatt, Salt Lake City Department of Airports. We discussed what we’re doing at our airports to build non-aeronautical revenues, and reviving consumer and business confidence.”

Other topics covered included:

• Stakeholder cooperation and partnerships
• Recent trends in airport revenues as a direct result of the pandemic
• Impact of lessons and restrictions caused by Covid-19 on passenger behavior and psychology
