Managing the airport risk landscape effectively, requires the engagement and collective expertise of the sector to help build a more resilient airport industry, whilst supporting the potential for growth. Years of partnership with the industry, alongside data obtained through Willis Towers Watson research has validated that view, leading to the creation of ARC.

ARC’s purpose is to connect groups of professionals around the world, to share knowledge and insight by hosting events and to analyse data, and help the industry understand and take action on emerging risks and trends.

John Rooley, CEO Global Aerospace, Willis Towers Watson, said “The launch of ARC is indicative of our role as a leading airport industry risk adviser and demonstrates Willis Towers Watson commitment to enhancing client engagement and enabling our clients to share best practice, risk mitigation strategies and identify emerging people and asset risks alongside innovative solutions. We are delighted to be launching the Airport Risk Community today at our event in the Netherlands.“

This unique event takes the theme of Understanding risk, unlocking potential and provides a platform to discuss how the airport sector can build operational resilience, support sustainability and innovation. It features a wide range of speakers including the UK's former Deputy National Security Adviser for Intelligence, Security and Resilience, Etihad’s Director of Government & International Affairs, a world leading futurologist, experts in AI and autonomy software solutions and many more.
