The <strong>Airports Council International<\/strong> (ACI) is proud to represent airports around the world: essential components of the global aviation industry, engines of local economies and drivers of world economic growth.<\/p>\n<p>In parallel to the general changes that the aeronautics industry has undergone over the last century, the <strong>airports<\/strong> have evolved; <strong>have evolved from simple infrastructure providers to complex businesses.<\/strong> on their own merits. Worldwide, some 470,000 people work directly for airport operators and if we add to this the on-site workers of airlines, ground handlers, retailers, restaurants, hotels, government agencies and other employees, this number rises to 4.6 million.<\/p>\n<h5>Collaboration and knowledge sharing are the keys to raising the standard of the industry as a whole.<\/h5>\n<p>However, despite the leaps and bounds aviation has taken over the last century, there is still much work to be done in order to <strong>ensuring continued progress over the next 100 years<\/strong>. For its part, ACI works closely with key industry players on priority issues related to safety, environmental and economic sustainability, customer service, organisational continuity, training and more.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the many ACI initiatives aimed at helping airports operate sustainably and successfully include the <strong>APEX (Airport Excellence) programme in operational safety and security<\/strong>The project is an expert review project aimed at airports wishing to increase their security levels; <strong>Global Training<\/strong>which offers a suite of online classes and courses covering all aspects of airport operations; <strong>ACA (Airport Carbon Accreditation)<\/strong>a programme designed to help airports meet our industry's ambitious targets for reducing carbon emissions; <strong>ASQ (Airport Service Quality)<\/strong>Our customer service reference programme; and our publications, which cover everything from safety and environmental issues to traffic statistics and economic data.<\/p>\n<p>What all the above-mentioned initiatives have in common is that they all focus on the <strong>establishment of a dialogue<\/strong>. ACI believes that collaboration and knowledge sharing are the keys to raising the standard of the industry as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason it is a pleasure to have my article included in the first issue of this Newsletter, AERTEC Solutions' own contribution to <strong>knowledge sharing<\/strong> within the industry.
