The Rise of the Superconnectors
September 17, 2025 08:00 AM Europe/London
In this webinar we’ll be discussing the influential rise of superconnectors in the Gulf region and Türkiye and their impact on worldwide connectivity, exploring the airports that have grown to become some of the world's most influential hubs - Dubai, Doha, and Istanbul.
We'll be discussing the following:
- The extent to which infrastructure enables growth
- How the development of national airlines has changed connectivity between Europe and Asia
- With increasing competition around the wider Gulf region, including a new airport and airline in Riyadh, what comes next for these airports and their competitors?
