Part 2 of the BAG ACC Global Summit 2021 will be held on 24 June 2021, and will focus on the opportunities for developing the airport environment for the benefit of both travellers and the many other users that occupy the airport space.
The session will be arranged around the themes of: Re-Start; Innovation; Inclusivity. Starting with Re-Start and increasing passenger numbers, the session will examine how new processes and procedures in the short term can be managed to maintain an acceptable environment. Progressing to the medium term, we will review the potential of innovation for improving the experience for all airport users in a positive and inclusive way.Please book your space through the BAG website so we can circulate the relevant dial-in details to you.

BAG Board Inclusion Development Workshop
The 15th June marked an exciting step in the British Aviation Group Diversity and Inclusion roadmap as we accelerate our ambition to become a more inclusive organisation. Last week the BAG Board took part in their very first inclusion development workshop with our partners, WDI Consulting Limited. It was a powerful learning opportunity to educate and challenge ourselves to improve our organisational culture and ways of working. We are committed to creating an inclusive and diverse environment and as such are starting with educating ourselves first to better support our members in their journeys through sharing best practice and promoting excellency across the industry. We look forward to sharing more insights from our journey. |
