“Our Assembly Resolutions advance ACI’s initiatives by setting out its aims and objectives on subjects of immediate concern to the world’s airport industry,” said Angela Gittens, Director General, ACI World. “Our members were proactive in telling us their interests and sharing their concerns. This year’s Resolutions put a particular focus on evolving and emerging threats that could become impediments to the airport industry meeting the ever-increasing air service demand.
“As the voice of the world’s airports, ACI World is the only organization that can bring together airports, large and small, from all regions to agree on strong measures to address the issues that affect us all,” said Bongani Maseko, Chair, ACI World. “I would like to thank ACI Member airports for their collective response and commitment to act on these pressing issues and I pledge airports to continue to approach our common industry concerns in the future in a collaborative and transparent manner,” he added.
