European Aviation Summit
Top executives of the European aviation sector meet at Schiphol
As part of the Dutch EU Presidency, PINO organized the European Aviation Summit on 20 and 21 January 2016. This summit was hosted by the Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment (nowadays Infrastructure and Water Management) together with KLM and Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. Over 250 aviation users, European politicians and officials gathered at our national airport. Where it immediately became clear that ‘aviation matters’. Because aviation connects not only people, but also cultures and economies. Across time zones and borders.
And of course an operational visit to KLM and Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. Followed by a high-level dinner in the KLM Hangar. Against the backdrop of a Boeing 777, the Head of Delegations received a special guest performance by the Royal Concert Hall Orchestra and the National Ballet.
Can we unburden you?
Voor mij begint het feest bij het zien van de spanning en het enthousiasme bij binnenkomst. Zowel vanuit de deelnemers als bij mij. Hoe gaat het event verlopen? Wat nemen we aan het eind van de dag mee naar huis? Die nieuwsgierige lach van de deelnemers, dat laat mijn vuurtje branden!
