Message from Angela Gittens Director General, ACI World Dear Colleagues, October will be a month of mixed emotions here at the ACI World offices in Montreal. We bid farewell to Craig Bradbrook, who has been with us for the last eight years, first as Director, Security and Facilitation and then in the role of Deputy Director General. He moves on to Toronto Pearson International Airport in the capacity of Vice President, Aviation Services, and while we’re pleased that Craig has been tapped for this exciting new challenge, we will miss him here at ACI World.

increase airport operational efficiency. ACI is a founding partner in ICAO’s Collaborative Arrangement for the Prevention and Management of Public Health Events in Civil Aviation, the CAPSCA program, and Craig also drew on his experience from operating at Hong Kong International Airport during the SARS crisis to help establish ACI’s business continuity and airport pandemic preparedness guidelines.

When Craig first joined us in September 2006, restrictions on the carriage of liquids, aerosols and gels (LAGs) were being implemented worldwide in response to a terrorist threat. He worked diligently with industry partners and travel retail associations to harmonize those restrictions, and his efforts played a significant role in the eventual adoption of the Security Tamper Evident Bag (STEB), which facilitates the purchase of travel retail items.

Importantly, Craig also brought his service quality experience to ACI and helped to build the Airport Service Quality (ASQ) Survey program from fewer than 80 airports in 2006 to over 300 airports today. He developed the ASQ Assured program and the Managing Service Quality at Airports training course. As he departs, he is overseeing the finishing touches on the transition to our new ASQ Survey service which will start in January 2015. We look forward to working with Craig in his new role in nearby Toronto.

Craig worked closely on behalf of ACI World with international organizations and airports on other security matters, as well as passenger and cargo processing, and leveraged IT to

We are solidly in our busy season and I will reach every Region this Fall as we broaden and deepen our community of airports. As many of you have already heard, ACICONTINUED ON THE NEXT PAGE

North America has now joined the Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA) programme. We expect to have a positive announcement at the ACI Latin America-Caribbean Annual Assembly, Conference and Exhibition to be held in Cancun, Mexico from 8–11 November. By the end of the year, the ACI-Europe ACA programme will be a global one, giving testimony to our industry’s commitment to sound environmental stewardship. As you will see in this issue, much is happening for the benefit of Members in every Region. At the World level, the ICAO Council opens its 203rd session on 27 October, with the Air Navigation Commission and Council Committees having started in September. As such, our subject matter experts at the World office and on our Standing Committees are highly engaged in the deliberations that affect airports. As well, we

continue with the work supporting the Task Force on Risks to Civil Aviation Arising from Conflict Zones as its recommendations are taken up by the ICAO Council. We will also be engaged in two upcoming ICAO symposia, one on Global Cooperation, put on by the Technical Cooperation Bureau, and one on Innovations in Security. I look forward to seeing you either here in Montreal or during my travels as we continue to promote the interests and the excellence of airports the world over.

In memorium - Philippe Baril

We have learned that Philippe Baril, President of ACI-Latin AmericaCaribbean, passed away on 29 September. Philippe had a long association with ACI, serving as Manager of Training at ACI World and Managing Director of the ACI Fund before leaving for Corporaciòn Quiport, S.A. where he managed Quito Airport in Ecuador and oversaw the development of the new Quito Airport, Mariscal Sucre International, one of the busiest airports in South America. Most recently, he served as Chairman of Corporación Quiport, S.A. Philippe was an especial champion of capacity building in developing countries, particularly in the areas of safety and security, recognising that bringing training to the staff of these airports was fundamental to their future. In spite of his illness over the last few months, Philippe remained active in promoting the interests of airports in the LAC region and around the world. He will be missed.

Update on Ebola Outbreak in West Africa By Craig Bradbrook, Deputy Director General, ACI World The Ebola Outbreak situation in the West African states of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone remains very serious. There has also been reported an initial case or cases in Nigeria and Senegal but the situation in those countries appears to be under control. On 5 September 2014, the United Nations Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon, activated the United Nations Operations Crisis Centre (UNOCC) to consolidate the operational work of the United Nations system, member states, NGOs and other partners in response to the Ebola Outbreak. The ICAO Travel & Transportation Task Force, in which ACI is participating and

United Nations Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon, activated the United Nations Operations Crisis Centre (UNOCC) to consolidate the operational work of the United Nations system, member states, NGOs and other partners in response to the Ebola Outbreak.

which is coordinating the dissemination of information within the aviation, maritime and tourism sectors, will coordinate with the UNOCC as necessary. The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued a guidance document titled “Travel and transportation risk assessment: Interim guidance for public health authorities and the transport sector,” which provides advice on raising the awareness of travelers and health care providers, as well as guidance for international air transport and the maritime sector. A copy can be downloaded here. The WHO does not recommend any ban on international travel or trade. Similarly, as reported in the last edition of World Report, the Director General, WHO does not currently recommend the active screening of passengers on arrival at airports, seaports or ground crossings that do not share borders with affected countries.

ACI SOUND BITES “Following many Airport Excellence in Safety reviews in the region, it has become evident that the lack of knowledge of standards and recommendations, and the low level of airport staff, are a key hindrance to the effective amelioration of safety at airports. Thus, training on airport infrastructure, aerodrome certification and safety management systems is fundamental to fostering effective and efficient safety within our member airports.” Ali Tounsi, Secretary General, ACI Africa (on the importance of developing a culture of safety during the “SMS and Annex 14” ACI Fund training course in Tunis, Tunisia, 1–5 September 2014) =================================================== “The right economic regulatory framework needs to be in place to encourage the development of airport infrastructure. This message was stressed when Angela Gittens, Director General, ACI World; Dr. Rafael Echevarne, Director, Economics & Programme Development, ACI World; and I met with senior Indian aviation officials in New Delhi, India this August. India, as a country with a large population and a growing middle class, has tremendous growth potential. ACI will continue to work closely with our airport members in India to further develop its airport infrastructure and achieve its desired goals.” Patti Chau, Regional Director, ACI Asia-Pacific (on the potential that India’s aviation industry holds for future development) =================================================== “Today’s significant political, economic and operational challenges have long-term implications for airports and travelers. The decisions policymakers make today will impact the next generation of airports and their ability to keep up with evolving innovation, increasing global competition and the needs of local communities. With an upcoming U.S. Federal Aviation Administration reauthorization, the implementation of NextGen, the review of the Canada Transportation Act, an increasing regulatory burden and new developments in environmental policy, we must constantly be aware of the next set of challenges that might impact your airport operations.” Kevin M. Burke, President and CEO, ACI-North America (on challenges facing the aviation industry during his State of the Industry Address at the 2014 ACI-NA Annual Conference & Exhibition, 7–10 September 2014)

“The airport industry is about providing the right infrastructure with the correct service quality to all customers and stakeholders, and only competent and motivated personnel can achieve such an undertaking. As managers you have the responsibility to embrace and to implement the processes that will allow our organizations to excel in human resources management.” Javier Martinez, Director General, ACI Latin America-Caribbean (during the opening of the 2nd ACI-LAC Human Resources Forum in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, 4 September 2014) =================================================== “Air traffic has kept outperforming economic growth in Europe in July, notably in the EU. That said, there are significant divergences between national markets. While Mediterranean countries have generally registered solid growth in passenger traffic along with Romania, Hungary, Ireland and the UK, the performance of other countries including France, Germany, Poland and Finland has been disappointing. Traffic continues to grow very dynamically in non-EU markets, although at a slower pace due to worsening geopolitical tensions in Ukraine, Russia and Israel.” Olivier Jankovec, Director General, ACI EUROPE (on air traffic performance in Europe during the month of July)

Headlines from the ACI-North America 2014 Annual Conference & Exhibition By Scott Elmore, Vice President, Communications and Marketing, ACI-NA

September was a productive month for Airports Council International-North America (ACI-NA), which held its Annual Conference & Exhibition from 7–10 September in Atlanta, Georgia. In the pages that follow, we present a summary of the numerous developments that made news during the event, which attracted expert speakers and a wide range of exhibitors from across the region and beyond. Airports are a trillion-dollar powerhouse for the U.S. economy

“The clear takeaway from this latest study is that our nation’s airports continue to be a tremendous source of economic activity around the country and across all hub sizes,” said ACI-NA President and CEO Kevin M. Burke. “Individually, the airport is the cornerstone of many local economies, and collectively airports spur an annual output of more than US$1 trillion. Not only does our commercial aviation system rely on such a robust network of airports throughout the United States, but so do a myriad of other industries. Our airports connect the people, products and services that comprise the U.S. economy with markets across the country and around the world.” The Economic Impact of Commercial Airports in 2013 examines data from more than 90 state and local economic impact analyses encompassing 485 commercial airports in the U.S. In addition to their collective national output of US$1.1 trillion, U.S. airports support a total of 9.6 million jobs and create a total payroll of US$358 billion. Read the full report here.

ACI-NA President and CEO Kevin Burke presents the findings of ACI-NA’s 2013 economic impact study during the 2014 ACI-NA Annual Conference and Exhibition.

On 8 September, ACI-NA announced the findings of its most recent economic impact study, “The Economic Impact of Commercial Airports in 2013.” Prepared for ACI-NA by the firm CDM Smith, this study analyzes the contribution U.S. airports made to the nation’s economy during the past year, including employment numbers, payroll figures and output generated.

16 ACI World Report – October 2014

ACI Releases 2013 World Airport Traffic Report Airports Council International (ACI) has released the latest edition of the World Airport Traffic Report. With comprehensive data coverage for almost 2,000 airports in 160 countries worldwide, ACI’s flagship publication remains the authoritative source and industry reference for the latest airport traffic data, rankings and trends on air transport demand.

ACI ANNUAL WORLD AIRPORT TRAFFIC REPORT A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OF TRENDS AND DATA IN AIRPORT TRAFFIC

Over 1,900 airports

More than 150 countries

“With many major economies remaining in a fragile state, 2013 can best be characterized as a year of unstable recovery for the global economy,” said Angela Gittens, Director General of ACI World. “Despite this challenging operating climate, worldwide traffic surpassed the 6 billion passenger mark in 2013. This represents an enormous feat for the airport industry as we commemorate the 100th anniversary of commercial aviation in 2014. “The opportunities that lay ahead for aviation are numerous, particularly in emerging markets,” Gittens continued. “Indeed, the huge demographic bases in many of these economies, coupled with rising per-capita income, will mean continued growth at airports in these markets. The growth in air transport demand and the services that airports provide will have a beneficial multiplier effect within local economies where airports operate, as well as across industries and the global economy. “Given both the potential pitfalls and opportunities for aviation now and in the coming years, having a reliable data source to count on is more important than ever,” Gittens added. “ACI continues to deliver the most comprehensive airport traffic data and rankings in an internationally comparable format to provide our members and readership a global view of the industry as a whole.”

Middle East (2.5 million, up 3.7% over 2012) 2014 Outlook “Preliminary airport traffic results for the first half of 2014 show encouraging signs of a steady recovery in the global passenger and cargo markets. The overall passenger growth rate in the first six months of 2014 was 4.8%, which is above the equivalent year-over-year figure from 2013. The cargo market has also seen a notable turnaround, displaying an overall growth rate of 3.7% for the first half of 2014 compared with a net decline for the same period the previous year,” said Dr. Rafael Echevarne, Director of Economics and Programme Development, ACI World. “However, at the time of writing, a number of developments indicate that the airport industry still faces growth challenges. Indeed, there remains a lingering uncertainty surrounding demand for air transport worldwide. This is clearly influenced by social and political volatility in areas of the world such as Eastern Europe, the Middle East and West Africa. Whilst this volatility obviously has a direct negative impact on traffic at airports located in the affected areas, the potential for a contagious effect on traffic at airports in other parts of the world is real.”

ACI Economics

Continued Growth for July Passenger Traffic; Air Freight Out of the Woods One of the busiest months of the year for global travel saw passenger traffic rise by 4.3% over the previous year. This continues to be on par with the average 12-month growth trend of 4.5%. International travel, in particular, is acting as the main catalyst for this strong growth since international passenger traffic rose by 4.8%. Domestic passenger markets moved up by 3.9% for the month. All regions posted gains in passenger traffic, with Africa, Europe, the Middle East and North America posting the highest increases in July passenger numbers at overall growth in the realm of 5%. Cairo (CAI), a major Egyptian airport that serves as the gateway to major tourist destinations, has begun to recover after the tourism sectors were crippled in 2012 and 2013 due to the political and social unrest that swept Northern Africa. The airport experienced double digit gains of 11.5%. Twenty-eight of Europe’s thirty busiest airports posted gains in passenger traffic. Among the top 30 airports, Istanbul-Sabiha Gökçen (SAW), Brussels (BRU) and Moscow (DME) also achieved significant growth numbers of 21.3%, 14.8% and 13.7% respectively.

All regions posted gains in passenger traffic, with Africa, Europe, the Middle East and North America posting the highest increases in July passenger numbers at overall growth in the realm of 5%.

Air freight volumes posted one of the strongest monthly gains in over two years. Overall volumes increased by 6.7% for the month of July. Although Dubai (DXB) declined slightly in year-over-year passenger traffic due to a temporary closure of a runway over the summer months, the second and third ranked airports of Doha (DOH) and Abu Dhabi (AUH) posted gains of 11.2% and 21.7% respectively. North America posted above-average gains of 4.6% in July as compared to the twelvemonth average of 2.8%, although traffic was slightly depressed in 2013 as compared to 2014. The region’s top airports—Atlanta (ATL; 3.6%), Los Angeles (LAX; 6.3%) and Chicago (ORD; 7.3%)—all posted strong gains. Asia-Pacific and Latin America-Caribbean experienced passenger growth of 3.5% and 2.7% respectively. Air freight volumes posted one of the strongest monthly gains in over two years. Overall volumes increased by 6.7% for the month of July. All regions with the exception of Africa posted gains in air freight traffic. The recovery in world trade coupled with improvements in business confidence and domestic demand, particularly in the United States, are largely attributed to the strong recovery. Air freight volumes increased by 8.9% across North American airports. The Middle East posted the highest gains of 12% year-over-year in freight volumes. “We are likely to see more moderate growth in freight volumes over the long CONTINUED ON THE NEXT PAGE

Nevertheless, air freight markets appear to be out of the woods with the recent improvements in global trade and commerce,” said Rafael Echevarne, Economics Director, ACI World. “While we have witnessed some slowdowns in certain areas of the world due to geo-political risks and disease outbreaks, on the whole the resilience of the world’s major hubs has circumvented these dangers. Air transport demand remains strong with accumulated

traffic growing by 4.5% from January to July. The cyclical slowdowns in emerging markets and the lingering downside risks in advanced economies have left the aviation sector largely unencumbered in the first half of 2014, with passenger traffic maintaining a resilient growth path.”

Building a Bright Future for India’s Aviation Sector

By Dr. Rafael Echevarne, Director of Economics & Programme Development, ACI World

steady source of subsidy to the smaller Indian airports and the much needed capital investments in the larger airports. However, the current regulatory model has yielded poor returns for the investors and could stifle development in India’s airports in the long run.

An ACI team, which included ACI World Director General Angela Gittens, ACI Asia-Pacific Regional Director Patti Chau and myself, visited India in August to meet with key senior aviation officials, including the newly appointed Minister of Civil Aviation. The objective of the visit included discussing the status of the Indian airport industry and the latest economic regulatory initiatives suggested by the Indian regulator.

Civil Aviation Minister A. Gajapathi Raju discussed the interest of developing “no frills airports” in India’s regional cities. ACI agrees with the importance of taking a realistic and measured approach to the development of regional airports in order to allow for the economic sustainability of the industry. However, ACI noted the importance of ensuring the fundamentals are in place not only to ensure the efficient development of infrastructure, but also to facilitate the proper and seamless integration and connectivity of India’s regional air transport to the international aviation network and avoid a two-tier aviation system.

A key aspect of the discussions with the Airports Economic Regulatory Authority of India (AERA) centered on the recently released consultation document, titled “In the matter of normative approach to building blocks in economic regulation of major airports.” ACI believes the AERA proposals are a step backwards in the approach to airport economic regulation in India as they tend to be overly prescriptive and do not take into consideration the varying circumstances in which different airports operate.

ACI offered its continuous support to the Indian government for the improvement and further development of Indian airports, and to help find the right regulatory framework to achieve the desired goals. Other countries have faced this dilemma and ACI will provide examples for the Indian government to explore. Aviation is key for the social and economic development of cities, regions and nations and connectivity to the global market is essential.

The Indian government has recognized that the participation of the private sector is essential for this much needed development. However, in order to achieve this goal, India must provide the right economic regulatory framework in order to make it attractive. The process also needs to be transparent and all stakeholders need to understand what the features of the new concession models will be. The current concessions have been successful in providing a

India is full of potential, with a large population in a large country with a growing middle class. However, it still has a long way to go in view of the fact that other countries with similar or lower population bases handle relatively larger volumes of passenger traffic. India is not currently in the top ten countries in terms of airport passenger volume. India should be one of the three largest aviation markets in the world. ACI wants to see that India takes its rightful place in the aviation world.

Asia-Pacific Safety Committee Puts Human Resources First By Vivian Fung, Manager - Communications, ACI Asia-Pacific

When it comes to aviation safety, what comes to most people’s mind is likely advanced aviation technology, aircraft maintenance or perhaps airport infrastructure. Seldom on top of the list are all the employees working daily to ensure the safety of aircraft moving on the airfield and the maintenance of airport facilities. The ACI Asia-Pacific Regional Operational Safety Committee recognized the key role that qualified and well-trained airport workers play in aerodrome safety during a session with the Chairs of ACI Asia-Pacific Regional Human Resources and Training Committees during its 13th meeting held in Seoul from 25 to 26 May 2014. The main purpose of the joint session was to discuss the future demand of Safety Professionals and the development of safety culture at airports to ensure that increasing air traffic in the region will be safely handled by a well-trained and qualified workforce. The two committees also discussed existing ACI educational programs for safety and airside operations, the ICAO Next Generation of Aviation Professions initiative and the setup of the competency matrix—a table of skill requirements for different types of airport operations jobs—for airside workers. Also on the agenda of the 13th Safety Committee Meeting was a survey to gauge the maturity of safety culture in the region, as well as training programs and campaigns to fill any gaps identified. The Committee went on to discuss its engagement with ICAO in the Asia-Pacific and Middle East regions, an important part of the Committee’s regular work plan. ACI Asia-Pacific has been participating in

ACI World announces new 2015 opportunities for Young Aviation Professionals Airports Council International (ACI), in cooperation with The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the International Air Transport Association (IATA), is inviting applications for the second round of the Young Aviation Professionals Programme.

General, ACI World. “This programme aligns with our suite of Global Training courses, offered both in classrooms and online, and especially the Airport Management Professional Accreditation Programme (AMPAP), another successful collaboration between ACI and ICAO.”

Through this collaborative programme, three Young Aviation Professionals will be offered exciting career development opportunities in Montreal. The programme aims to attract young, talented professionals who have advanced university qualifications supplemented with a minimum of two years’ professional working experience in aviation-related regulatory activities and/or in the aviation industry.

The selected candidates will be expected to contribute to each organization’s work programmes related to aviation safety, air navigation capacity and efficiency, air transport economics or aero-political issues, with attention to inter-relationships among ACI, ICAO and IATA. Each Young Aviation Professional will be guided throughout the programme by a subject-matter expert from each of the organizations.

“The sustainability of the industry depends to a large extent on ensuring that we have a strong pool of future professionals running the world’s airports, and these Young Aviation Professionals will be solid proponents of the community of airports and the importance of forging industry partnerships,” said Angela Gittens, Director

The target date for the commencement of the programme and the reporting of the selected candidates to Montreal is 1 March 2015. Interested candidates who meet the selection criteria are invited to submit their application at ICAO’s employment site at https://careers.icao.int by the closing date of 6 October 2014.


Olga de Frutos Martín discusses her experience as a 2014 Young Aviation Professional My name is Olga de Frutos Martín. I am from Spain and one of the 2014 Young Aviation Professional Officers. I have a Master’s Degree in Aeronautical Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Madrid. After graduating I worked in Madrid in the SESAR (Single European Sky ATM Research) Programme and then in Toulouse as representative of an airline managing a Flight Test Campaign. I then began work as a subcontractor for Airbus training Airbus System Designers. I had not been working for Airbus for very long when the phone rang and I was told that I had been selected for the joint ACIIATA-ICAO Young Aviation Professionals Programme! Me? Really? I couldn’t believe it! So, I prepared my suitcase and here I am! It is already my eighth month here in Montreal (time flies!) and the word that best describes it so far is “amazing.” I spent my first four months in ICAO understanding the processes, getting to know the organization, developing the Air Navigation Work Programme and starting work on a project related to the Aviation System Block Upgrades (ASBUs). At the beginning of May I joined ACI, and as I write this I am just starting my last four months in IATA. It has been very interesting to learn about the different organizations, their ways of working, their roles, their goals and their achievements. During my four months in ACI I had the opportunity to learn about safety matters of concern to airports, such as runway incursions, through participating in a joint initiative with IATA, CANSO and ICAO to define common indicators to collect data, and to provide lessons learned

and best practices. Within safety too, I also collaborated in developing the ACI Safety and Key Performance Indicators Handbook and learned about ground operations through commenting on the IATA Ground Operations Manual, making sure the interests of airports were reflected. Regarding efficiency initiatives, I took part of an informal group ACI is leading together with ICAO to develop worldwide guidance for A-CDM implementation. Last but not least, I contributed to an ACI initiative that will mean huge benefits for airports: the amendment to ICAO Annex 14 regarding the separation distance between taxiways and taxilanes. Indeed, I’ve been fortunate enough to have so many interesting experiences that it is impossible to list them all here. I also had the opportunity to understand how ACI is playing an important role within the international community through its increasing participation in ICAO events such as Conferences, Task Forces, Symposia, Panels and of course the Air Navigation Commission and Council, where it is very well represented. Professionally speaking, there is no better opportunity for a young professional to be exposed to the aviation industry and demonstrate his/her skills. The Young Aviation Professionals Programme gave me the opportunity to build a network of outstanding professionals and learn from them in an international environment that is at the cutting edge of aviation developments. My time in Montreal has been an unforgettable experience that has changed my life both professionally and personally.

ACI World Report – October 2014 The city is very cosmopolitan, with plenty of green spaces, and the government invests heavily in sociocultural activities such as the well-known Jazz Festival. Although the winter is long, I would urge anyone who is given this opportunity to get outside and partake in the numerous wintertime

29

activities available, from skating and skiing to curling and hockey. I’m very grateful to ACI, ICAO and IATA for the opportunity they’ve given me. I’ve learned firsthand how the three organizations work together on so many levels for the betterment of the industry at large. Thank you! About the Young Aviation Professionals Programme The Young Aviation Professionals Programme is jointly funded by ACI, IATA and ICAO. The objective is to select up to three outstanding candidates to provide them with an opportunity to spend four months in each organization engaged in real work so they can better understand the truly global nature of the industry. There were over 300 applicants for the 2014 Programme so competition was fierce. ACI, IATA and ICAO have just announced the opening of the 2015 Programme and applications from young airport professionals are encouraged. Applicants must possess a Master’s degree; have two years’ experience; and be 32 years old or younger on the closing date (6 October 2015). For more information, please click here.

Collaborative aviation climate action takes flight

The aviation sector joined other business and government groups at the United Nations Climate Summit on 23 September 2014 to announce a commitment on climate action between the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), a United Nations specialized agency, and the aviation industry represented by the Air Transport Action Group (ATAG). This partnership expands on work already being undertaken across the air transport sector to reduce emissions from this important global industry. The commitment says: “Air transport connects the world. It is a vital engine of global economic growth supporting over 58 million jobs and US$2.4 trillion in gross domestic product. In order that all parts of the world are able to benefit from the rapid connectivity advantages of air transport, the sector has committed itself to a pathway

of sustainable growth encompassing all areas of the commercial industry and governments working in partnership.” Making the announcement, the Council President of ICAO, Dr. Olumuyiwa Benard Aliu, said, “Governments, working through ICAO, are working with determination and in league with industry to mitigate aviationrelated emissions and help humanity meet the wider and very challenging global targets now before us. Working cooperatively, our sector is taking proactive and concrete actions which will continue improving air transport fuel efficiency and stabilize the sector’s net carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from 2020, consistent with our historically strong record in this regard, while permitting air transport to continue to bring citizens, societies and businesses together, promoting peace and prosperity wherever aircraft fly.”

32 ACI World Report – October 2014 Michael Gill, Executive Director of ATAG, said, “Today’s announcement builds on the collaborative action taking place across the commercial aviation sector. It is impressive to see all parts of the industry working with each other, and with partners in research, government and other sectors to deliver the climate actions we have committed to as an industry. Aviation is a force for good in the world, supporting economies, fostering tourism and allowing global cultural exchange. We believe that we can continue to deliver these benefits to the world whilst also addressing our climate impacts.” The agreement was co-signed by Airports Council International, Civil Air Navigation Services Organisation, International Air Transport Association, International Coordinating Council for Aerospace Industries Associations and International Business Aviation Council—representing the various components of the international air transport industry. Currently, aviation operations produce around 2% of human CO2 emissions, a figure set to increase as more people travel by air, particularly in emerging economies. Recognizing the need for all industries to

undertake long-term climate action, the aviation sector has an ambitious and robust path to lower emissions. Governments, industry and civil society are currently working at ICAO to develop a global market-based measure which will contribute to stabilizing the sector’s net CO2 emissions from 2020. Aviation industry organizations have further committed to reducing net air transport CO2 emissions by 2050 to half of what they were in 2005. Putting these goals into action, the statement outlines the areas on which the industry and ICAO partner to achieve the ultimate vision of a sustainable international aviation sector: supporting the development of sustainable alternative fuels for aviation; continuing the deployment of new technology aircraft and operational improvements; accelerating the transformation of global air traffic management performance; working with partners to develop a global CO2 standard for new aircraft; working with partners to design and implement a global marketbased measure for international aviation; and working together to further efforts for capacity building in Member States across the world.

“Working cooperatively, our sector is taking proactive and concrete actions which will continue improving air transport fuel efficiency and stabilize the sector’s net carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from 2020, consistent with our historically strong record in this regard, while permitting air transport to continue to bring citizens, societies and businesses together, promoting peace and prosperity wherever aircraft fly.” ~ Dr. Olumuyiwa Benard Aliu, Council President, ICAO

Airport Carbon Accreditation Takes off in North America By Robert O’Meara, Director Media & Communications, ACI EUROPE

On 7 September 2014, a special ceremony took place at the ACI-North America (ACINA) 2014 Annual Conference & Exhibition in Atlanta to mark the launch of Airport Carbon Accreditation in North America in partnership with ACI-NA. The institutionally endorsed programme independently assesses and recognises airports’ efforts to manage and reduce their CO2 emissions. It certifies airports at four different levels of accreditation (Mapping, Reduction, Optimization and Neutrality). In the past twelve months, Airport Carbon Accredited status has been earned by a total of 107 airports in Europe, Africa and Asia-Pacific.

Having already achieved significant results in Europe (since 2009), Asia-Pacific (since 2011) and Africa (since 2013), the launch of the programme in North America is a decisive step in the establishment of Airport Carbon Accreditation as the global standard for carbon management at airports. Kevin M. Burke, President & CEO of ACINA, commented: “Today’s launch of Airport Carbon Accreditation here in North America shows that our airport industry has become more demanding of itself. The success of the programme in other parts of the world is both an inspiration and a challenge.”

34 ACI World Report – October 2014 The launch ceremony was also the occasion to announce that Seattle-Tacoma International Airport is the first North American certified airport. The airport is accredited at Level 2 Reduction. “As an ambitious industry, we want to do our part to lower our carbon footprint and become better partners in the global aviation system,” Burke added. “I congratulate Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on being the first to achieve certification in North America, leading the way for many others. I also applaud the other North American airports who have committed to becoming early adopters of Airport Carbon Accreditation, including Aéroports de Montreal, Denver International Airport, San Francisco International Airport and Portland International Airport.” Olivier Jankovec, Director General ACI EUROPE; Patti Chau, Regional Director ACI Asia-Pacific; and Ali Tounsi, Regional Director ACI Africa commented: “We are delighted to see Airport Carbon Accreditation become available to North

American airports. It’s a big moment for the programme, as it demonstrates the momentum the airport industry’s environmental commitment has gained over the past 7 years and the demand for this kind of tool in the North American market. “Many industries talk about their commitments,” they added. “We are getting on with the job and delivering genuine, independently-verified carbon reduction year on year. We applaud Seattle-Tacoma International Airport’s certification as the pioneering airport in North America and look forward to seeing others apply for certification at one of the four levels of the programme.” Airport Carbon Accreditation is now live on five continents, and the 108 airports certified at one of the four levels of the programme welcome 24.2% of global passenger traffic annually.

The ACI, IATA, ICAO and Dassault “Frequent Flyers” pull an A320 for charity By Kevin Caron, Head, Global Training & Human Resources, ACI World As good corporate neighbours many member airports engage in various community engagement activities for both local and national charities. Many of these are accomplished through fun and original activities which include runway marathons and of course plane pulls. Every September in Montreal the 767 Challenge plane pull is organized by members of the Law Enforcement Torch Run in cooperation with Aéroports de Montréal, Air Canada, HMS Host, the City of Dorval and the Montreal Police Service to benefit the Special Olympics Quebec. It consists in using only human strength to pull an A320 weighing 72,767 kg over a distance of 3.5 meters in the fastest time. This year for the first time, ACI, along with IATA, ICAO, the Canadian Permanent Mission at ICAO and Dassault Systems, assembled a team of 15 plane pullers, better known as “The Frequent Flyers,” which I had the

honour of coaching. As with previous years the competition was held at the MontrealTrudeau International Airport on Sunday, 21 September. Now many ask how exactly you pull a 72,767 kg plane with a rope. Actually, it’s easier than it sounds. The first step is properly lining up the team (although I won’t divulge my secret as to how this is done) and trying a few practice pulls (without a rope or plane) in order for the team to perfect its technique. The practices are important as the key to success is breaking the inertia. In our case The Frequent Flyers completed the challenge in a respectable 8.4 seconds. Thanks to the team, our donors and our supporters we raised over $1,900 to benefit the charitable cause of the Special Olympics. The entire team and I are proud to have been part of another great example of aviation giving back to the communities it serves.
