For the 4^th time Dr. Friesen was invited to give a presentation at the World Conference of the Air Transport Research Society (ATRS) in Amsterdam on July 5, 2019. Together with Prof. Wilfred Manuela of the Asian Institute of Management, he will present the results of a joint international study on the factors that have influenced parking revenues at the ten largest European airports in the last seven years. Among other findings, the authors of the study will show evidence that parking revenues at European airports can be significantly improved by offering an optimal number of parking spaces at reasonable prices.

On March 22, 2018 Dr. Friesen gave a presentation on “Monetising digitalisation: how to transform big data into parking revenue“ at the 24th Passenger Terminal Expo in Stockholm.

‘Digitalisation’ is the buzz word of recent years and has affected the whole customer journey at an airport. In particular, the first and last contact point with an airport – parking – can benefit tremendously from the new opportunities digitalisation holds. Not only does a seamless booking process enhance the customer experience, but so also does providing the right product for the right customer at the right price. This presentation was directed at airports that want to boost their car park revenue while still meeting customer needs. It addressed how big data and customer insights could be turned into profitable decisions.

The Passenger Terminal Expo & Conference has firmly established itself as the most highly regarded airport conference in the world with 7,000+ people attending and 375+ experts speaking. Since its inception in 1998 the Passenger Terminal Expo & Conference provides a powerful international platform for the airport and airline sectors to interact and share common issues, goals and solutions about the airport industry, with a particular and unique focus on the terminal.
