Episode 5 - Karen Dee

International Airport Review Podcast

For this episode of IAR’s podcast series, we chose to speak to one of the most inspiring leaders in aviation. Discussing industry influencers, detailing how airports will have to adapt, reviewing progress made in 2019, and looking ahead to 2020, this conversation with Karen Dee, Chief Executive of Airport Operators Association is both informative and motivating. “Sharing best practice”, “a great team” and “continuing to innovate” are three aspects Karen deems imperative to ensure airports can continue to support the UK economy. With International Airport Review’s editor, Tara Nolan, Karen covers Brexit, multimodal hubs, airspace modernisation, and the evolution of airports; assuring us that “the aviation industry has shown it is up for the challenge” ahead. A “lot of big wins” are available to airports within the year to come, and this podcast episode will most definitely be useful as Karen offers her “most important piece of advice” for airports.
