This document is the result of that five-year process, and it is the second version of the research report on the future of airports at the 20- and 50-year horizons. It should be read as a guide to understand the challenges and opportunities ahead. It features tools and technical contents documenting trends and emerging issues. Finally, it contains extensive references to provide decision-makers and practitioners with further reading options. The new version of the report includes new findings and additional conversations, delving into subjects that were not presented with enough thoroughness previously.
