Older air travellers have different travel characteristics than younger people. They may have special needs when traveling by air due to their physical, mental and emotional characteristics. At the moment, the air transport system facilitates those needs only partly. In addition, ageing will pose significant challenges for human resource management at airlines and airports.

Airneth addresses the implications of ageing for air transport in an international seminar. The following questions will be answered:

- How can the air travel behaviour of seniors be characterised?
- How will ageing affect air travel and the air transport industry?
- How do the needs of senior air travelers differ from younger air travelers?
- What opportunities and challenges does ageing pose for policy makers and other stakeholders with respect to air transportation?
