C-suite airport executives, policymakers, business partners, analysts, and aviation institutional stakeholders arrived in the Czech capital city for three days of vital dialogue, networking and exchange.
The cutting-edge conference program featured over 50 speakers. The ACI Europe’s Director General Olivier Jankovec, in his „State of the Industry“ address, warned that the sector was entering a profound transition in which traffic growth alone can no longer guarantee financial sustainability. He called for the “Great Decoupling” of financial viability and investment capability from volume growth.
Also at the gathering, this year hosted by Prague Airport, the latest update of the European Airport Industry Net Zero Resolution was presented, highlighting growth in both participation and ambition across the airport sector: 28 airports accounting for 83% of European passenger traffic committed to reach Net Zero by 2050 or earlier and 14 new airports joined the collective commitment.
The Awards Ceremony for the 2026 ACI EUROPE Best Airport Awards celebrated excellence in airport management across a range of areas, including environmental performance, leadership & HR, and digital transformation. The General Assembly also appointed new members to the ACI EUROPE Board.
