GAD Asia: Bringing Airport Development Stakeholders Together

Following our last event in 2019, we are thrilled to announce the relaunch of GAD Asia on November 4th, 2025, in Hong Kong - co-located with the Super Terminal Expo.

This premier event will bring together industry leaders, investors, and key stakeholders to explore the future of airport development and investment across Asia

GAD (Global Airport Development) Asia is a unique event dedicated to sustainable airport business growth and infrastructure development through best practice financing, management and strategy.

The forum brings together stakeholders from all sides of the airport business from public and private airport operators, financial and strategic investors, regulators and industry experts from around the world.

GAD is an unmissable opportunity to identify new investment opportunities, partners and business prospects.
