LONDON, Sept. 18, 2013 /PRN=KYODO JBN/ --
Malaysia Airports will host the 2014 Airport Cities Conference and
Exhibition 31 March - 2 April
Historically, airports were perceived as simple transportation hubs where
planes and people depart and arrive. Today, modern 21st century airports have
become much more, evolving into key nodes in global production and enterprise
systems offering them speed, agility and connectivity. All commercial functions
of a modern metropolitan centre are locating on and immediately around major
airport sites, transforming them from 'city airports' to 'airport cities'.
Airport Cities Conference and Exhibition (ACE) is about airports developing
both as cities in their own right and as unique business and tourist
destinations. The 12th edition of ACE will be held on 31 March - 2 April 2014
hosted by Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB) at the Kuala Lumpur
Convention Centre, Malaysia.
The event, which is the perfect platform for attendees to share experience,
expertise and insights on airport city developments, is expected to attract
over 110 airport operators from 45 countries.
"Airport Cities Conference and Exhibition regularly attract high level
aviation decision makers and other industry leaders and we are looking forward
to welcoming this community to Kuala Lumpur next spring," says Alex Kirby, EVP
Airport Cities, UBM Live continuing: "The event will provide Malaysia Airports
with the opportunity to discuss their own 'Aeropolis' development and will
generate business and commercial development opportunities linked to the
expansion of the airport city."
Located at the heart of Asia, Malaysia as a country is strategically and
financially positioned at the centre of regional networks. The country, and in
particular Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), is a perfect host for
this event as it is already well underway implementing its own 'Aeropolis'
project. With more than 22,000 acres of land at its disposal to create a
successful and viable world-class airport city, just over one quarter (6,000
acres) has already been developed for runways, the Main Terminal Building
(MTB), satellite and low-cost carrier terminals, cargo and other support
facilities.
