ACI considers ground handling to be of great importance to the safety, regularity, efficiency and performance of airport operations.
Aviation and the global connectivity it enables is the blood of our modern day world. The benefits and opportunities to societies, individuals and economies flowing from air connectivity have driven the industry’s rise to one of the preferred modes of transport across all world regions.
Airports Council International (ACI) advances the collective interests and acts as the voice of the world’s airports and the communities they serve and promotes professional excellence in airport management and operations. This document has been made possible thanks to the work undertaken in the ACI World Environment
Globally, airports have a long history of making commitments and taking direct action to ensure they design, construct, and operate in a way that is economically sustainable, inclusive, and socially and environmentally responsible.
The purpose of this document is to provide an overview of the requirements of the ICAO Balanced Approach and guidance in relation to its successful application in the development of noise management strategies.
In today environment, airports, concessionaires, passengers, and the public are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of sustainability across all activities and operational sectors, while still meeting the needs of all parties.
Private Wireless Network (PWN) enables airports to address common situational challenges and improve operational performance. PWN facilitates improved network security and enhanced operational efficiency through superior coverage.
In addition to airports reducing carbon emissions to minimise their impact on climate change, the business case for doing so is growing even stronger. The key driver for airports to reduce their emissions is to maintain their licence to grow and operate, but it also builds on ESG programmes and results in financial savings from energy efficiency. Although offsetting can allow airports to be car…
The most way to reduce the carbon footprint of the existing aircraft fleet is to replace fossil-based kerosene with carbon-neutral fuels. Sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) is the term used to define hydrocarbon fuels which are not from fossil origin and which compensate for the emitted carbon dioxide through the production/capture of their feedstock, making them fully or partially carbon neutral.
This paper endeavours to provide a comprehensive overview of the current landscape within the aviation industry, with a particular focus on the airport ecosystem stakeholders and their service providers, including ground handlers.
