“The conference is very important to understand emerging industry trends, best practices and share experiences with the air rail industry. The balance of deep dive into a local link, combined with the presentations from operators and airports, as well as the opportunity to share experiences with other operators are particularly useful.”

Chris Basche, CEO, Brisbane Airtrain, AUSTRALIA

The annual Global AirRail Conference and Awards is the only event bringing airports, rail operators, planners and suppliers from all over the world to discuss the passenger intermodality segment between air and ground.

The Global AirRail sessions look at best practices in planning, building and operating rail links to airports, best marketing campaigns to ensure growth, innovations in customer experience at airports and air-rail links, as well as pricing strategies, sales and distribution channels, intermodal partnerships, funding, policy and stakeholder engagement challenges.

“The greatest advantage of GARA event is to

hear the developments and experience of other airports and to network

with colleagues from around the world.”

Ville Haapasaari, Senior Vice President,

Finavia, FINLAND

The event also hosts the annual Global AirRail Awards, recognizing all these efforts, best practices and results of the global air-rail community. 

“Through the Global AirRail Awards we want to recognise

innovative thinking and partnerships that contribute

to the future mobility,"

Milda Manomaityte, Director of the Global

AirRail Alliance
