Airports!... Are You Looking For Investors?

The first Invest and Manage Airports will be held in London, 8-9 December 2011 and has attracted real interest from investors, infrastructure partners and airport operators from all over the world.

This event is occurring at a pivotal time in the current economic environment. More and more governments are seeking ways to improve services from their core infrastructure assets, increase jobs and stimulate trade.
