VIETNAM. The Moodie Davitt Report is pleased to announce that CAVU is again lending its support to The Trinity Forum as a Gold Partner.

The 2024 edition of the world’s leading airport commercial revenues event takes place on 5-6 November in Ho Chi Minh City, co-hosted by Airports Corporation of Vietnam and Imex Pan Pacific Group (IPPG).

CAVU was founded by Manchester Airports Group (MAG) with the aim of revolutionising airport travel, creating value for passengers and the businesses that serve them.

CAVU Director, Growth APAC Craig Pring addressed the audience at last year’s The Trinity Forum to share the details of the company’s ecommerce platform propel, designed for passengers and airport business partners  

The company aims to provide better travel experiences in two key areas – the global travel marketplace and an enhanced in-airport passenger experience through its airport lounges.

Its solutions cover pre-booking, online and services in the airport passenger journey from car parking all the way to airline gates, driving revenue from fast-track services, lounges and private terminals.

CAVU now operates in 40 countries, across 350 airports, with more than 1,200 suppliers and over 3,397 individual parking products and a range of other travel-related products.
