The planning, design and development of efficient, accessible intermodal transportation hubs, particularly at airports, will take centre stage this November 4 - 6 at AsiaWorld-Expo in Hong Kong for the Super Terminal Expo.

Backed by Hong Kong International Airport, Super Terminal Expo reinforces its positioning as a comprehensive platform that engages industry leaders and professionals in the design & development of intermodal transportation hubs. Recognising the fundamental role of efficient intermodal connections in modern transportation for both passengers and cargo, Super Terminal Expo will be the key event in Asia for insights and innovation in this vital field.

The event will showcase the latest innovations and future trends in terminal design, airport construction, and master planning, featuring insights from leading architects, planners, and construction experts. The expected 4,000+ attendees will also explore cutting-edge solutions for passenger and cargo ground operations, smart terminal automations, and AI-enhanced cargo management, as well as advancements in rail and metro integration within intermodal hubs. A strong emphasis will be placed on sustainable practices and fostering industry collaboration.

Airport Dialogues: Aviation at the Forefront

The event will feature a prominent series of roundtable discussions titled 'Airport Dialogues", bringing together academics, industry practitioners, and policymakers to address pressing challenges in airport design and development.

Stella Fung, General Manager – Maritime & Aviation, Informa Markets, emphasised the importance of these discussions in shaping the future of airport design and development. "Our aim is to foster collaboration between various stakeholders to tackle the complex challenges facing modern airports and ensure they remain efficient, sustainable, and passenger-friendly in an ever-evolving aviation landscape," she explained.

Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in focused dialogues, including:

Planning the Airport City of Tomorrow: This crucial roundtable will delve into the strategic development of airport cities, exploring vital elements such as land-use optimisation and zoning strategies, methods for enhancing intermodal connectivity (rail, road, public transport), and approaches to creating sustainable and liveable environments within the airport city framework. Participants will collaborate to identify best practices and innovative solutions for building thriving airport ecosystems.

Driving Efficiency in Ground Operations: The Role of Infrastructure and Technology: This session will explore cutting-edge strategies for optimising airport ground operations to achieve enhanced efficiency and safety. Key discussion points will include leveraging technology and automation for significant efficiencies, methods for improving apron management and aircraft turnaround times, and the identification of necessary infrastructure adaptations and upgrades to support more efficient ground operations and the seamless adoption of new technologies.

Exclusive Behind-the-Scenes Tours of Hong Kong International Airport: Attendees will have the exclusive opportunity to participate in behind-the-scenes tours of Hong Kong International Airport's latest developments, offering a unique chance to witness best practices firsthand and gain a deeper understanding of the complexities and innovations driving a world-class airport.
