As part of the event, the Romanian Airline Companies Association collaborated with the organizers to design and moderate the only panel dedicated to commercial aviation: \u201cSmart Airport &amp; Flights Development \u2013 Economic, Tourism, Freight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The event brought together top-level professionals from the aviation industry, both from Romania and abroad. The special guest, Dr. Michael Kerkloh, former CEO of Munich International Airport and currently a board member of the airports in Tallinn and Hanover, shared his strategic and well-documented perspective on how airports can become real drivers of economic and regional development, aligned with emerging European trends.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside Dr. Kerkloh, the panel featured Monica Dobrutchi \u2013 General Manager of Lufthansa Group in Romania, Daniel Micu \u2013 Chairman of the Board of Bra\u0219ov-Ghimbav Airport, Sorin Manda \u2013 CEO of Craiova International Airport, and C\u0103lin Gologan, founder of Elektra Solar. Each of them brought valuable insights, collectively shaping a comprehensive picture of the current challenges and opportunities in the aviation sector. Additionally, at the end of the discussions, there was an intervention from a media representative, journalist \u0218tefan Etve\u0219 \u2013 host of the show \u201cDrumurile noastre\u201d on B1 TV.<\/p>\n<p>Key topics discussed included the recovery of airline operators and the implementation of optimization measures, the development of regional infrastructure, partnerships, the attraction of new carriers, and the transition toward more sustainable aviation, including the integration of electric flights.<\/p>\n<p>Once again, it was clearly demonstrated how important it is for the aviation sector to be part of a constant, professional, and constructive dialogue\u2014one that involves operators, airports, investors, suppliers, and thought leaders. We will continue to support a coherent vision for the development of Romanian commercial aviation, based on clear regulations, investment in local infrastructure, and the promotion of Romanian companies\u2019 interests at both national and international levels.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat:
