#DAY3 Our CEO Selahattin Bilgen participated as a speaker in the Wrap-up Session of the Panel Discussion at ACI EUROPE Annual Congress and General Assembly. Highlights from his speech; 👉 The main challenges for our industry are not competition among ourselves, but rather the general situation, influenced by sustainability and operational complexities. We are very positive with respect to the future when it comes to demand and the state of the industry overall, despite these issues. These challenges are common across the industry, making collaboration, cooperation, and information sharing crucial as we grow larger and larger. 👉 The aviation industry must adapt to these changes on a broader scale. We face real challenges from sustainability measures and evolving customer expectations, and we must act in coordination and take timely actions to address these challenges. #ACI2024IST #IstanbulAirport

🚀 Reflecting on Europe's Legacy of Innovation: The Concorde and Beyond 🚀 As we navigate the complexities of big innovation projects, it's essential to look back at milestones that have defined our technological landscape. One such marvel, the Concorde, stands as a testament to Europe's ability to pioneer groundbreaking projects that push the boundaries of what's possible. The Concorde was not just an aircraft; it was a symbol of ambitious collaboration across Europe, showcasing our capacity to lead in aviation technology with far-sighted design and engineering. Its creation was an inspiration, demonstrating that we could achieve the unimaginable when we worked together, transcending national borders and commercial considerations. However, the Concorde's journey was not without its challenges. Despite its technological triumphs, the project was significantly over budget. When handed over to commercial operators, British Airways and Air France, the financial justifications fell short, leading to its eventual cessation. Yet, this does not diminish the pride we should feel for what was accomplished. This brings us to a pivotal question: Should Europe continue to pursue big innovation projects that go beyond immediate commercial justifications? Is the spirit of innovation something that should be measured solely by current economic metrics, or should we strive for achievements that redefine the future, knowing the path may be fraught with financial uncertainty? The Concorde's legacy is a beacon of what can be achieved. As we stand on the cusp of new technological frontiers, how should Europe navigate the balance between innovation and commercial viability? Should we dare to dream big, embracing the risks for the sake of progress, or tread a more cautious path defined by immediate returns? For those who share a passion for aviation and innovation, I encourage you to revisit the story of the Concorde. It's a powerful reminder of Europe's potential to innovate and inspire. Let's discuss how we can carry this legacy forward, shaping a future where innovation knows no bounds. #Innovation #Concorde #Aviation #Europe #Technology #Future https://lnkd.in/e5eXGYUX
