Zhou emphasized transforming airports from transport hubs to experience gateways by creating experience-focused commercial ecosystems. AVINEX is evolving into urban lounges, cultural experiences, and smart ecological zones, facilitating first-in-market and first-to-export opportunities for brands.
He also highlighted moving from traffic hubs to value hubs, connecting airports with aviation, innovation, and premium commerce. These efforts involve remote check-in points, urban terminals, and membership programs aimed at increasing consumer engagement across broader contexts.
Finally, Zhou outlined the transition from independent operation to intelligent co-existence, utilizing the Airport Brain for personalized services and sustainable development standards to build a green, globally aligned growth model.
Founded in 2002 by major airports from China, Japan, and South Korea, the EAAA convenes annually to exchange experiences and work together on innovations in the industry. During the Super Terminal Expo on Nov 4, Zhou also toured Hong Kong International Airport's control center and autonomous vehicle operations.
