The skills shortages engulfing aviation across America will be the big debate during the Ground Handling International Americas Conference, featuring Larry Massaro, senior vice president of Aviation at EULEN America, as a speaker.

More than 300 executives from the Latin and North American aviation industry will meet in Miami on March 29-31, 2022 to examine the current market situation, challenges and perspectives for the coming years.

"Now more than ever, it is essential we run parallel paths with our airline and aviation partners to attract and retain quality employees while we continue to drive technology solutions to strengthen our business's efficiency, effectiveness and long-term viability," said Massaro.

With over 35 years of experience in aviation, Massaro has managed over 3,500 employees in 65 domestic and international airport locations. As part of EULEN America's renewed management, he is responsible for contract negotiation and resolving issues to ensure processes, systems, products, regulations, and data are delivered seamlessly to all aviation customers. He is also in charge of day-to-day oversight of the EULEN Aviation operations, strategic planning, leadership development, and employee engagement.

The senior executive will be participating in the conference alongside David Barker, chief executive officer of USA dnata; Mike Garland, director of Airport and Corporate Procurement of American Airlines; Nirmala Ramai, chief operations officer of Caribbean Airlines; Emir Pineda, section chief passenger, Trade & Logistics Development - Marketing Division of Miami International Airport; and Mercy Correia, head of Industry Relations of ALTA.
