摘要

I am delighted to welcome you all to Montreal and to ICAO for this pre-Conference Symposium that will set the stage for what I believe will be a milestone Conference on the Economics of Airports and Air Navigation Services. Our last Conference on charges was held in 2000 and resulted in recommendations to address the new realities of the 21st century. The focus then was on a commercial approach to the management and operation of airports and air navigation services, coupled with specific financial and managerial guidelines as well as economic oversight. The intention was to develop a strategy to cope effectively with the consistent growth of air traffic worldwide.
