EastEuro Link hosted its Inaugural Air Transport Conference
Sky Full of Possibilities - that's what all conference attendees agreed on in Slovak Capital Bratislava, 26th May 2006, at EastEuro Link's Inaugural Air Transport Conference named like this.
This country, in the very heart of Europe, has been very dynamic in the field of Air Transport lately - privatisation of Bratislava and Kosice Airport and, of course, the boom that SkyEurope Airlines has had in the region as the fastest growing low cost airline in CSEE. Slovak Ministry of Transport, Posts and Telecommunications supported this conference.
