3/23/2022

 
Forum Description:

​John Cugasi (Paradies Lagardère) and Chris Demitz (SSP America) reprise their presentations from a recent ACI-NA Commercial Management Committee meeting. To evolve a sustainable and resilient business model, all stakeholders must understand a basic premise: how concessionaires make money. For this Forum, John and Chris will discuss – and present – concessionaire income statements to show the impact of our current business environment and the challenges concessionaires face in their ongoing recovery. Their insights are important information you can use. We invite you to join our webinar.
