The philosophy behind this is that academics are likely to enter new lines of thought into our field, and having a strong presence by airlines brings great value to both the vendors and the airlines. Sponsorships are used to lower the registration rates for airlines and academics. It would therefore be great if your organization could this year be one of our sponsors. In return you’ll enjoy an opportunity to increase visibility for your products and services among key science and technology decision makers in the airline industry! We would love to have you support our the airline research community. For more details, see the Sponsorship Guidelines page or contact sponsorship@agifors.org. |
