Symposium, attended by some 500 members of government and industry from around the world. Airports were well represented and we have committed to airports taking a leadership role in convening runway safety teams at their airports. We thank Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver Airports for their presentations at the Symposium. The runway safety focus is well encompassed within the Airport Excellence (APEX) in Safety8 programme ACI has launched. The particulars of the Symposium conclusions and recommendations are provided later in this edition but it was recognized that solutions need to come from both a global, top down framework, as well as a local, bottom up, context. ACI and other industry organizations will sponsor regional workshops to promote best practice actions to improve runway safety around the world.

Finally, ACI has been invited to sit on the ICAO Future Aviation Challenge Team, which will meet in Montreal on 27 June. This is ICAO’s follow through on calls to harmonize the outcomes of the US-based NextGen and European-based SESAR air traffic modernization programmes. The Challenge Team’s purpose is to review the work of the Technical Team that was established to gain global interoperability. Top officials from the U.S. and Europe as well as industry organizations will comprise the Challenge Team and we are pleased by the recognition of the airport role. ACI North America and ACI Europe

Dear Colleagues,

As we forecasted in last month’s issue May was a busy month for working on our priority issues with ICAO.

ACI participated in two ICAO events in May. The first was an informal briefing to the ICAO Council on the economic state of the global civil aviation industry. Along with ACI, the other organizations providing briefings were IATA, the Civil Air Navigation Service Organization (CANSO), Bombardier and the World Tourism Organization (WTO). Although coming from different perspectives, all of the presentations echoed common themes stressing the need for governments to recognize that commercial aviation is a vital economic driver for developed and developing economies around the world and their vested interest in supporting the capacity demands and facilitation logistics of the industry. Our preliminary discussions suggest that the organizations may be interested in developing a commonly agreed agenda to work on together. Our experience with industry collaboration on environmental mitigation tells us that we are strongest when working jointly.

Another arena which has profited from broad collaboration is aviation safety, the subject of the second ICAO event, the Global Runway Safety

ICAO Global Runway Safety SymposiumDavid Gamper

ACI took a leading role in the ICAO Global Runway Safety Symposium, held in Montreal from 24 to 26 May. Director General Angela Gittens spoke in both the Opening and Closing Panels, alongside representatives of other international aviation organizations, who strongly agreed that a collaborative approach to runway safety would produce the best results. ACI also provided speakers on Emergency Response (Ms Deane Johanis, Manager, Emergency Management Systems, Greater Toronto Airports Authority) and FOD and Wildlife Control (Brett Patterson, Director, Airside Operations, Vancouver Airport Authority).

ACI was a platinum sponsor of the event and obtained a large and well placed booth where presentations were shown on the ACI APEX in Safety programme, and ACI work on runway safety. ACI staff were on hand throughout to promote and explain ACI’s work including safety training courses and safety publications.

Angela Gittens stated that improving runway safety requires relentless pursuit of an increasing level of safety, and that this strategic objective requires enhanced collaboration amongst all parties involved. To meet that objective, ACI proposed a new paradigm where the airport takes the lead in coordinating all activities on its site, including all the relevant safety issues from aprons through the manoeuvring area, and especially the runway, where the big risks lie. Thus the airport should take responsibility for establishing and heading up local runway safety teams covering runways, taxiways and aprons,

ACI World at ICAO

have been involved in the industry teams for the respective modernization programmes so we will call upon their knowledge to assure that airport interests are accounted for.

Looking forward to our 2�st World Annual General Assembly, Conference and Exhibition, we are able to confirm that Morocco will be our host. The opening ceremony is 3� October. See you there!

ACI Press Release on Airport Excellence in Safety

ACI World Director General Angela Gittens, speaking this week at the ICAO Global Runway Safety Symposium in Montreal, announced a new global safety programme called Airport Excellence in Safety (APEX) designed to help airports worldwide to identify and address safety vulnerabilities.

Click HERE for full Press Release8

At the end of the Symposium the following issues were agreed:

The International organizations represented (“Runway Safety Programme partners”) committed to work together to compile and promote proven solutions and endorse best practices, and that:

• Runway Safety Teams should be established locally and hosted by the airports; this important role for the airport operator was agreed

L - R: Angela Gittens, Director General ACI World; Graham Lake, Director General CANSO; Guenther Matschnigg, Senior Vice President IATA; Nancy Graham, Director Air Navigation Bureau ICAO; Paul McCarthy, Representative to ICAO IFALPA; Tao Ma, First Vice President of the ICAO Council.

which form an integral part of the airport’s overall Safety Management System. She also stated that safety training and best practice sharing are key elements of a successful runway safety improvement strategy. ACI believes that incidents and accidents must be investigated fully and lessons learned, and that safety team should assess all actual and potential risks and causal factors, and provide defenses against them. The airport operator must be committed to this strategy as the management of the safety team can be quite an onerous activity in staff time.

Angela Gittens unveiled the new programme developed by ACI Airport Excellence (or APEX) in Safety.

Gittens says, “As ICAO statistics indicate, runway excursions are both the most frequent and the most deadly type of runway accidents that occur. APEX provides a platform to assist our member airports in that goal. “But to drive down the number and severity of incidents, all those involved in safety at the airport must work together to meet that objective – including airports, airlines, pilots, air traffic controllers and the many people on the ground who contribute to delivering safe travel. This close collaboration is critical in order to reduce the potential for accidents and improve airport response in case of an incident. APEX programme components (www.aci.aero8) build on ICAO principles of airport certification in line with Annex 14 and Safety Management Systems (SMS), as well as information transparency. To learn from experience, an APEX database for incident information sharing will be based on a non-punitive, ‘just culture’ environment. ACI will facilitate a ‘Safety Partners’ network to promote mutual assistance. Gittens says, “Our good fortune in the airport business is that airports come in all shapes and sizes…literally. By pairing and partnering within the airport community, we share strengths and knowledge and speed progress on operational and safety management targets.”

• Runway excursions and incursions are the main issues but other aspects such as Bird Strike, FOD should not be overlooked

• Runway Safety definitions, taxonomies and reporting of runway conditions and other safety indicators should be harmonized

• Communication procedures should be standardized and improved

• ICAO should ensure that its Standards and Guidance material are fit for purpose

• The implementation of ICAO Standards will be monitored through the Continuous Monitoring Approach

• Technological solutions will be encouraged, such as: Runway End Safety Areas and Arresting Systems; implementation of more runway approaches using Performance-based navigation (PBN); Aircraft on-board situational awareness systems (e.g. moving maps), guidance and alerting systems (e.g. Airbus Runway Overun Protection System, the technology of which will be shared by the manufacturer); and ICAO-compliant runway and taxiway lighting, markings & signs. Increased training and collaboration will be fostered.

All the partners have committed to increasing the exchange of runway safety information, including data held in the ICAO Integrated safety trend analysis and reporting system (i-STARS) database, and to share best-practice documentation, including the newly published Runway Excursion Risk Reduction Toolkit 8, which is available on the ICAO runway safety web page. Lastly, all the partners have committed to help deliver a series of Regional Runway Safety Seminars over the next two years, which will

result in action plans to create runway safety teams and provide support to those already in place.

Islands Airport Safety Committee, Aruba David Gamper

What better model could there be for ACI’s APEX programme than a grouping of airports founded on the basis of mutual safety auditing? So when ACI was invited to attend the Islands Airport Safety Committee (IASC) in Aruba, an expectation was generated. The committee was started in Aruba, six years ago, with the Netherlands Antilles airports of Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao, St. Eustatius, St. Maarten, Saba and Surinam as members. The reality is impressive - that they have completed audits reports on all the airports (one is singled out each year for audit by its peers), based on ICAO Annex �4. After each audit, a full report is presented to the airport concerned with findings and suggestions for improvement. The verdict by the members on the programme is that all of the airports have been strengthened by it.

This year it is the turn of founding Aruba to be audited, but as they have wide operational experience, a comprehensive Aerodrome Manual and a full array of SMS manuals, they feel confident of passing the test.

Now the IASC has decided to open up to new members in the Caribbean and Central America, inviting Jamaica, Trindad and Tobago, Panama, and are considering, with ACI LAC, how to be part of the region’s activities.

ACI LAC and ACI World were invited to participate by the incoming chair of the ACI LAC safety committee and new member of the ACI World Safety & Technical Committee, Mr Jurgen Benschop, Manager, Business Unit Airside of Aruba Airport Authority, who suggested that ACI should observe the way that the IASC worked. Javier Martinez and David Gamper made presentations on ACI LAC and ACI World activities, the APEX Safety programme and on Runway Safety.

New Guidelines take flightHow do airports measure noise levels? Should they monitor human trafficking? And what does a crocodile have to do with airport safety? For answers to all these questions and more, On 8 June the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI)8 will launch the new Airport Operators Sector Supplement.

Aircraft safety is high on the agenda, and the new guidance from GRI will help airport operators monitor and measure their performance to reduce the risk of accidents. There are hundreds of examples of animals causing plane accidents, from cows and even turtles on the runway to birds hitting the engines. The new sustainability reporting guidance for Airport Operators will help airports measure the number of ‘wildlife strikes’ that occur, so they can try to reduce the risks.

Noise is also an important factor, particularly for people who live near airports. There is no internationally agreed decision on acceptable levels of noise from airports, but there is lots of discussion around how noise is measured. Airport operators can take measures to reduce noise – for example, some do not accept cargo planes, and others fly in different directions or at different heights. GRI’s new reporting guidance will help airports report how they measure noise, enabling them to make improvements where they are needed.

Maaike Fleur, Senior Manager, Reporting Framework at the Global Reporting Initiative, said: “This will be an important launch for GRI and for airports around the world. There is growing focus on sustainability issues in aviation, and with GRI’s new Guidelines airport operators will now know what key topics manage to achieve a high level performance”

Sharp 11% passenger growth in April, one year after ash cloud slump

Worldwide passenger traffic grew markedly in April propelled by a vigorous increase in international traffic in Europe. The �� per cent surge comes one year after the Icelandic ash cloud paralyzed wide parts of European aviation, shutting down air space and airports over several days.

ACI World Director Economics Andreas Schimm says, “This increase is a very positive result, particularly in light of the current situation in Japan as well as in North Africa, and an erratic economic recovery. Year-to-date average global growth at 5.9 per cent certainly provides a solid basis as well as an upbeat outlook for the rest of the year.”

While international traffic dropped by 5 per cent in April 20�0, it jumped by almost �8 per cent in April 20��, bringing year to date growth of 8 per cent. Easter holiday travel was a second factor contributing to that strong traffic increase, with holiday movements falling in the middle of April 20��, whereas in 20�0 Easter travel was split between March and April. Schimm adds, “This month’s spike represents more than just compensation for last year’s losses. When we compare back to April 2009, we still see that international traffic volumes rose by a strong �2 per cent, an indicator of growth over and beyond the compensation for disruptive factors.”

Regional results (see Press Release 8)European airports spearheaded monthly growth at an extraordinary 27 per cent. Growth of more than 20 per cent was reported by 6� out of 78 airports in the sample led by Helsinki (+58%). Major European hubs including Amsterdam (+37%), Frankfurt (+3�%), London Heathrow (+3�%) and Paris (+29%) also registered hefty increases. At the other end of the spectrum, airports in Asia-Pacific and Africa suffered losses that held down overall results, with continuing instability in North Africa and the dramatic drops in Japanese traffic. Airports in Egypt, Japan, Tunisia and Bahrain saw their traffic plunge between 20 and 60 per cent (Tokyo Narita -�9.6%, Cairo -23.4%). In North America, and despite 7.6 per cent increase in international traffic, growth remains marginal (+2.�%), muted by almost stagnating domestic traffic. Latin America-Caribbean (+�5.5%) traffic soared with both domestic and international traffic growing double-digits. Brazil is the key market accounting for almost all of the growth alone helped by solid results in Argentina, Peru and Mexico. The Middle East reported its first double digit monthly growth

rate since November 20�0, also in part due to the compensatory indirect ash cloud effect at airports such as Dubai (+�3%) and Abu Dhabi (+�5%).

A similar effect was only partially observed in air freight. While European air freight rebounded by �5.8 per cent, the other two major markets Asia-Pacific (-�%) and North America (-2.9%) reported negative growth. These results, however, still should be seen in the context of tremendous growth rates of over 30 per cent in the corresponding period 20�0. Similar to passenger traffic, Latin America-Caribbean generated genuine growth of ��.9 per cent with better increases in the dominant international freight sector.

The theme of this year’s conference is ‘Forward to Basics - How resilient is your business? The conference will investigate business resilience in the areas of ACI’s core activities economics, safety and customer service. Two workshops will examine emergency preparedness and

non-aeronautical revenues in more detail. A full conference programme will be released soon. �500sqm exhibition space adjacent to the conference hall will accommodate up to 40 international exhibitors showcasing latest innovation, products and services to approximately 500 event delegates.

The conference venue is part of a 77ha resort �0km outside of Marrakesh.

ACI Global Training Says Farewell to Manoela De Mendonça Lima

It is hard to believe that the time to say good-bye is already here.

Having had the opportunity to be a part of the ACI Global Training team since the very

beginning in 2004, I am proud to see how this programme has evolved to become a strong, successful and recognized training brand. I have truly enjoyed working in this industry and with our airport members as well as organizing the ACI Fund seminars worldwide for the developing nations’ airports. I want to thank my dear colleagues for their support throughout my career, but especially with their understanding and flexibility while I was at the same time pursuing my studies at the Business School of Geneva. I could not have wished for a better team to work with and atmosphere than I found at ACI.

Again thank you, merci, obrigada, gracias, grazie…and all the best.

ACI Global Training Attends the ICAO Global Runway Safety SymposiumSuzanne Acton-GervaisManager, Global Training

The ACI Global Training team was very pleased to attend the ICAO Global Runway Safety Symposium from 24 May to 26 May in Montreal, Canada.

The aim of the Symposium was to coordinate a global effort for improving runway safety, identify a common framework for the enhancement of runway safety, highlight the evolution towards a more integrated safety management approach in ICAO’s runway safety programme, identify a format for subsequent runway safety workshops, and both promote and gain the commitment from partners to deliver regional runway safety workshops across the globe.

Many participants at the GRSS symposium left keen to establish their own Local Runway Safety Team. Numerous presenters at the GRSS highlighted the fact the solution will not, and should not, come from one service provider, but rather should be an integrated solution that is established by all stakeholders including as a minimum representatives from aircraft operators, air navigation service providers, and the aerodrome operator.

and Angela Gittens ACI World’s Director General. In total, some �5 people are directly involved with course delivery and logistics, allowing us to ensure the best possible executive level course designed specifically for airport leaders.

As for the �7 participants, in addition to their classroom work, they have already started working on their classroom project of running a mock ACI World Board of Governors meeting where they are tasked with addressing three real-world topics. This exercise will be observed by several senior airport executives who will provide feedback and comments on the success of their work. Upon their return home they take one week off from their rigorous learning before completing the final four weeks of distance learning, which requires the delivery of an individual strategic visioning project and finally a group project. Successful participants will be awarded an ACI / Concordia University - JMSB certificate.

The 43rd edition of the ACI Fund Seminar took place in Incheon Aviation Academy, Korea, 29 May – � June 20��, dealing with a very important subject: “Managing Service Quality at Airports”. More than 25 delegates, representing �5 different airports and �2 nationalities, participated in all the activities, lectures and sessions over the 3 days of this intensive and excellent programme.

The participants were divided in three different teams, to better analyse key success factors in customer service, benchmarking best practices, perceived vs. delivered service, and improving service methodologies. All the delegates were able to apply the lessons learned to a “case study” airport, analysing ASQ data and using all the different tools and practices provided by the ACI ASQ programme.

In addition to the ACI Fund Seminar, some delegates were able to stay for the ACI Asia Pacific Small Airports Conference, 02-04 June

Two AMPAP Gateway Courses at Opposite Ends of the Globe in May

In the first week of May, the Global ACI-ICAO Airport Management Professional Accreditation Programme (AMPAP) was invited to deliver its gateway course, Air Transport System, at Australia’s Gold Coast Airport. Twenty participants from nine airports, including Tonga and Vanuatu took part in this entry course, which constitutes the first of six sessions in the AMPAP curriculum.

As an addition to the course curriculum, the group had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Dennis Chant, Managing Director of Queensland Airports Ltd., who gave a special address to the class about the unique challenges faced by the airport industry in the Queensland region. Course instructor, Mr. Jean-Marc Trottier remarked, “Mr. Chant’s address highlighted salient industry concerns and corresponded seamlessly with our course content. Participants were certainly able to draw parallels from his speech during the presentation of their group work.”

In the following week and at the opposite end of the globe, an identical session of the AMPAP gateway course was hosted in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, by the State Secretariat for Economic Development of the Minas Gerais Government.

Airport executives from seven nations convened in Brazil and were joined by several provincial officials responsible for economic development and infrastructure. The senior-level participation during this session acted as a catalyst for

stimulating classroom discussions which underscored the pivotal role that airports play in regional growth and prosperity. Course instructor, Mr. Paul Behnke noted, “We were particularly pleased to have our hosts provide a detailed briefing on the Minas Gerais Airport Master Plan. Of course, this included an overview of their preparations for hosting the World Cup in 20�4 and the impact this will have on the region.”

The week in Brazil also provided an opportunity for Programme Graduates (IAPs) to reinforce their active involvement in the AMPAP community. Mr. Ramesh Ghir, IAP and 20�0 Class Valedictorian, dedicated time from his demanding schedule as CEO of Cheddi Jagan International Airport to act as a panel judge for group presentations. This along with the presence of course instructor, Mr. Michael Rodyniuk, IAP and COO of the Winnipeg-based Exchange Income Corporation, emphasized the important role of IAPs in the delivery and continued growth of the Programme.

The AMPAP Air Transport System gateway course is offered several times per year. For scheduling and registration, click here8.
