Both courses are led by Dr. Max Hirsh (PhD, Harvard) and Pieter van der Horst (MSc, MRE MRICS), two leading global experts with complementary backgrounds in aviation, real estate, and urban development. Guest lectures by Zurich Airport’s real estate, hospitality, and international management teams highlight the “big picture” issues that fundamentally determine the success or failure of any airport real estate project.
