There will be two speakers, each covering different aspects of the way the Global Pandemic has impacted the airport, airline and commuter sectors.

• Matthew Coogan (Senior Director, RSG Inc.) will review how transportation demand has changed becasue of the pandemic - and why. For this project, he has helped manage a series of major surveys, which help us to relate major changes in "Work-from Home" to changes in major transportation indices, such as Vehicle Miles of Travel.  He will present behavioral data collected over the year for both the United States and the UK, and discuss the implications for the transportation flows of the future, based on attitudes revealed in the surveys.
   
• Martin Braun (Assistant Director, Airport Development, IATA) will provide information on the how the airline and airport sectors have been affected by the pandemic - and the latest prognosis for the future. He will cover passenger numbers and cargo volumes, financial impacts - as well as some of the changes in operations and strategy at airlines and airports.
