The policy of AGIFORS for all study group meetings is to have the registration fee for Airline and Academics delegates as low as possible. The philosophy behind this is that academics are likely to enter new lines of thought into our field, and having a strong presence by airlines brings great value both to vendors and airlines. This would only be possible because of our sponsors. Thank you!
