Specifically, such cooperation can boost "supply chains, tourism, promote technological innovation and accelerate the transition to greener and more efficient aviation".
In addition, Toro shared his vision on the need for "greater regulatory alignment, joint infrastructure investments and shared training programmes to create a more integrated, sustainable and resilient aviation ecosystem in the face of future crises.

Commitment to Gulf aviation infrastructure
Ineco has been involved since 2018 in the design and supervision of the expansion of Kuwait International Airport, a flagship infrastructure designed to serve up to 25 million passengers per year. The company is leading the integrated management of the project, which includes the management of the construction contract, airport systems and the coordination of all phases of execution. The complex stands out for its sustainable design, inspired by the shape of a sailboat, and is set to become one of the world’s most energy-efficient terminals.
