    21st Air Transport Research Society World Conference 2017 World Conference 2017 Made possible by FLANDERS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT 21st Air Transport Research Society World Conference 2017 1 21st Air Transport Research Society World Conference 2017 World Conference 2017 Welcome on behalf of the local organizing committee In the name of the University of Antwerp, the Faculty of Applied Economics, the Department of Transport and Regional Economics and C-MAT, the Centre for Maritime and Air Transport Management, I am very happy to welcome you in Antwerp. It gives us a feeling of great privilege to have been given the opportunity to organize this ATRS 2017 conference. Originally a department focusing mainly on maritime and port research, the Departement of Transport and Regional Economics has grown to become a knowledge and education centre for air transport as well. This development was supported by the creation of the Centre for Maritime and Air Transport Management, which provides an international management programme in which the students can choose to specialize in either maritime or air transport. Furthermore, there is an array of research methods that can be applied to both the maritime, as well as air transport sector. For the ATRS conference, we are very much looking forward to an array of special sessions with interesting discussions between industry participants and participants from academia. Furthermore, the collection of fascinating papers going to be presented at this conference guarantees high quality contributions and a me- morable program of the highest scientific standards and practical merit. We thank everyone who contributed to this conference. We are indebted to our sponsors, colleagues and participants to make this event possible.
