From Beijing to Madrid, cutting-edge designs and innovations are transforming the ways we experience the world’s airports and air travel. How is New York’s airport system, which remains the busiest in the country, responding to pressing economic and design demands while serving a growing number of passengers? Is an overhaul of the city’s airports feasible? David Z. Plavin, consultant and former president, Airports Council International-North America, will discuss the challenges and creative potential for New York’s aviation system with leading airport experts including Richard Smyth, Vice President, Jet Blue, who is in charge of the new JFK Jet Blue terminal that incorporates the landmark Eero Saarinen building; Charles Van Cook, P.E., Vice President, PB World, who plans airports all over the world; William R. DeCota, Director of Aviation, Port Authority of New York and New Jersey; and Jeff Zupan, Senior Fellow for Transportation, Regional Plan Association.  Co-sponsored by the New York Building Congress, and the Regional Plan Association.
