AIR 2026 – Airport Innovation Roundtable in Bratislava!

The V4+ Airports Association, in strategic partnership with BTS Bratislava Airport and SITA, is proud to announce the AIR 2026 conference. We are gathering in Bratislava on September 16th and 17th, 2026, for an event designed specifically by and for the CEE aviation community.

Why AIR 2026? While global summits focus on abstract trends, AIR 2026 stays grounded in the reality of Central and Eastern Europe. This is a dedicated space for airport professionals—from operations and security specialists to infrastructure managers and directors—to discuss the unique challenges and opportunities of our region.

Practical Innovation for CEE Airports We are skipping the theoretical lectures to focus on the technical “how-to” of modern airport management. Our 2026 agenda focuses on:

  • Infrastructure Management: Smart maintenance and effective modernization of regional airport facilities.
  • Security & Efficiency: Practical technology to streamline safety without compromising throughput.
  • Passenger Flow: Real-world solutions for crowd management and improving the traveler journey in CEE hubs.
  • Digital Operations: Automation and data tools that simplify daily tasks for airport staff.

The Program:

  • Day 1 (Sept 16th):
    • Afternoon: BTS Bratislava Airport Tour – A technical, behind-the-scenes look at the airport’s infrastructure and practical operational solutions.
    • Evening: Welcome Reception – A relaxed atmosphere to connect with colleagues and partners from across the region.
  • Day 2 (Sept 17th):
    • All Day: Intensive expert panels and workshops focused on operational reality and shared CEE experiences.
    • Evening: Gala Dinner – The final highlight of the event, perfect for networking and informal exchange of ideas.
