ACI World may move to Montreal In continuing to align with ICAO in its efforts to promote the interests and excellence of airports around the world the World Governing Board (WGB) has directed management

to present a plan to relocate the World office to Montreal the site of ICAO headquarters Although this has been a subject of discussion from the very beginning of ACI in 1991 the development of the Safety Strategy and the ever-closer collaboration with ICAO on airport training have prompted the Board proposal to relocate

Geneva has been a generous and strategically productive host to the World office with its central location and proximity to other global organizations Geneva Airport has provided strong support to ACI World since its creation We have also been fortunate to attract a multi-national staff from this cosmopolitan city and take advantage of its central location with convenient connections to our member airports around the world We will be sad to leave

Nevertheless ICAO is in Montreal and the Secretariat and national delegations of civil

aviation are ACI Worldrsquos main stakeholders for representing our Members on global issues Montreal is also home to other global aviation organizations and has an excellent airport with a supportive management that has provided manifold services to our ICAO liaison office We look forward to the opportunities the move will present

The parameters for the plan as stipulated by the WGB are that the costs not result in an assessment increase to the Regions and that key staff are retained so that we are able to ensure continuity in the valuable services we provide to our Members

Assuming that the WGB approves the relocation plan it will be presented to the General Assembly for discussion and ratification by Members at the annual conference in Bermuda on 2 November 2010

If approved we have much to do to prepare for this new chapter for ACI It is fitting that this transition will occur in the 20th anniversary year of the organization as we continue to unleash the power of the worldrsquos airports

outcome of raising an issue may not only be the development of SARPs but could also include development of Guidance Material delivery of training or workshops or support for implementation of a programme Alignment with ICAOrsquos key Strategic Objectives (Safety Security and Sustainability) is also fundamental Consideration is also given to the potential benefits of the requested action and the opportunity cost or risk if the issue is not dealt with Once the issue has been raised it is processed by a Subject Matter Expert within the secretariat

The issue raised will either require new programmes amendments to existing programmes or new tasksamendments to existing tasks In the former scenario the programme will then be taken into consideration under the Air Navigation Integrated Programme (ANIP) in the latter by the Secretariat During the development phase

the output from the ANIP or the Secretariat would then be deliberated over by the ANC and its associated Panels (such as the Aerodromes Panel) Study Groups or Divisional Meetings

A technical proposal is then developed for ANC preliminary review Once the ANC has completed its review Contracting States and International Organizations are consulted by way of a State Letter The Secretariat would then analyse the responses and provide this analysis back to the ANC for Final Review Once the ANC Final Review is complete a working paper is produced for the ICAO Councilrsquos consideration and adoption Usually all amendments that are adopted during a particular Council session become effective on a date no earlier than four months after the last day of the Council session This is because what is known as the lsquoGreen editionrsquo of the Annex amendment must be available to States for a full three months before it becomes effective In exceptional circumstances a different effective date may be selected but justification must be provided As States are obligated to notify ICAO (in accordance with Article 38 of the Convention) of any lsquodifferencesrsquo that exist between their national legislation and the provisions in the Standard the Green edition of the amendment is despatched to States within 14 days following the adoption of the amendment The final or lsquoBlue editionrsquo of an Annex amendment is issued as either replacement pages to the Annex or a new edition of the Annex

The whole process from inception to publication takes at least 19 months but can take longer As an example of a change take the new recommendation for an enhanced taxiway centre line marking This issue was originally raised by the FAA representative on the Visual Aids Working Group of the Aerodromes Panel ndash the Accredited Source

The enhanced taxiway centre line marking is shown below The purpose of this marking is to reinforce the message to pilots that they are close to a runway and may help to prevent runway incursions due to confusion combined with poor visibility conditions

The Amendment was adopted in March 2009 became effective in July 2009 and became applicable in November 2009

From the outset ACI has played an integral role in the development of Annex 14 and is now involved in the Aerodrome Design Working Grouprsquos project to review all the specifications in Chapter 3 of the Annex through a task group chaired by ACI As mentioned in the May 2009 World Report this is a very large task as it covers all aerodrome reference codes (ie A - F) The work will be based on a risk assessment approach drawing on the numerous aeronautical safety studies done in the context of new large aircraft introduction as well as studies for smaller aircraft Recommendations for changes to Annex 14 will be ready by the end of 2011

ICAO CAPSCARegional meetings in Kuala Lumpur Nairobi and DallasArturo Garcia-Alonso

The ICAO Cooperative Arrangement for the Prevention of the Spread of Communicable Diseases through Air Travel (CAPSCA) is facing a crucial year in 2010 More than one year has passed since WHO raised the pandemic alert to phase 6 and now it is the right time to analyse the international response and concentrate on lessons learned in those regions where the programme is up and running living and breathing Moreover there are great opportunities at these current times to successfully implement the programme in those regions where for several reasons it has not been deployed yet ndash namely Europe and the Middle East

On 24 May 2010 the CAPSCA Asia-Pacific Steering Committee met in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia with more than 60 participants from member States civil aviation and health authorities airports airlines and air navigation service providers Being the region where CAPSCA started in 2006 the enthusiasm and motivation of its members is tremendous The main actions taken by the Steering Committee were

bull Revision of ICAO SARPS for better alignment to WHO International Health Regulations ndash IHR 2005

bull Draft template of an Aviation Public Health Emergency Plan

bull CAPSCA extension and expansion

bull Business Continuity Plan ndash BSC on 25-26 May a workshop was conducted at the same location to discuss and

present the basic framework for a BSC for airlines airports and air navigation service providers according to pandemic scenarios

On 8-9 June 2010 ICAO convened a CAPSCA workshop in Nairobi Kenya with the main focus of strengthening the project in Africa and taking advantage of both partnership and international cooperation ACI provided a presentation about lessons learned on the implementation of the ldquoAirport preparedness guidelines for outbreaks of communicable diseaserdquo

On 22-23 June 2010 the CAPSCA Americas Steering Committee celebrated its second meeting in Dallas TX with great success in participation content and outcomes establishing strong links among aviation health stakeholders from North America Latin America and the Caribbean

ACI and its airport members are committed to the CAPSCA project worldwide helping ICAO to successfully deploy this project globally together with WHO and all partners involved

The next CAPSCA activity will be the Global Regional Aviation Medicine Team - RAMT meeting in Singapore October 15-16 2010

IATA Aircraft Recovery Task Force (ARTF)Paul Van den Eynden

ACI continued its cooperation with the ARTF which met for the 6th time in Montreal earlier this month We reported last year (World Report June 2009) that we gave a briefing to the participants on ICAO requirements for the removal of disabled aircraft which made air carriers aware of their roles and responsibilities Further to this exercise we updated the relevant section of the ACI Policies and Recommended Practices Handbook as well as the Airside Safety Handbook (new version to be published soon)

This year the ARTF took note of the updated requirements of the ACI Policies and Recommended Practices Handbook and assessed the ldquoAircraft Recovery Preparedness Airport Checklistrdquo (prepared by UPS) The intent of this document is to identify local resources equipment and tooling in the event of an aircraft recovery The Checklist will be updated annually by the air carrierrsquos Airport Operations and Aircraft Maintenance departments

ACI are obviously pleased that air carriers have adopted this pro-active approach something we suggested last year We continue to encourage close cooperation with airport operators as they may have recovery equipment available on site or would have contacts with local suppliers as part of the airportrsquos emergency preparedness plan

International passenger traffic rebounds in MayAir freight continues to rise sharplyAndreas Schimm

International passenger numbers grew by just over 10 percent at airports worldwide in May 2010 compared to May 2009 (Table 1) Domestic traffic also increased firmly but at a more moderate pace of 6 percent Top regional results were seen in Latin America-Caribbean (+32 international and +18 domestic) and Asia-Pacific (+185 international and +11 domestic)

Overall growth in North America (+25) and Europe (+52) was more modest although North America reported a strong 115 percent increase in international passengers which in part reflects the business development plans of North American carriers Both Africa (+9) and the Middle East (+15) delivered robust performances in May As expected the significant decline of air traffic in April caused by the Iceland volcano eruption did not have a lasting effect and air traffic has resumed the

growth path it had been following since August 2009 Commenting on these results ACI Director of Economics Andreas Schimm says ldquoTraffic is without a doubt on the rise But there are a few considerations to keep in mind when analysing the figures The Latin America-Caribbean region is comparing against low results in May 2009 when the outbreak of the H1N1 virus significantly dampened air travel demand across the region The ensuing ripple effect in North America and Asia Pacific where the fear of flu contagion slashed international travel partially skews the figures and thus explains some of the extraordinary increases we observe this monthrdquo

Cancun (+108) and Mexico City (+46) are straightforward examples while overall the Latin America-Caribbean region was supported by continued strong domestic traffic growth as seen in Brazil and Argentina Airports in North America that suffered from the H1N1 outbreak but have now rebounded include Dallas Fort Worth (+20) Los Angeles (+16) Toronto Pearson (+14) New York JFK (+11) and Miami (+105)

Domestic traffic in North America (+08) continues to stagnate as carriers are focused on increasing yields and load factors The airports growing in the domestic market are New York LGA (+15) Boston (+7) Baltimore (+5) and San Francisco (+5) All these airports see

expansion of services by Southwest and Virgin America respectively Cincinnati (-31 total) is suffering from being dropped as a hub of Delta Airlines

In Europe Russia and Turkey brighten up overall figures and much of the traffic increase can be attributed to traffic between these two countries The seven top performing airports in May are located in these regions reporting growth rates between 20 and 100 percent Airports in the UK continue to suffer declines as aviation taxes weak currency and British Airways cabin crew strikes take a toll on the industry

Schimm observes ldquoIt is a worry to see all nine UK airports in the sample with negative figures The UK represents one of the worldrsquos largest aviation markets yet is the only significant market in 2010 together with Ireland that keeps shrinking First quarter passenger volumes in the UK were already 3 percent down on top of the declines a year earlier Adding additional pressure by increasing so-called green taxes and driving passengers away through strike action is not the recipe to turn the situation aroundrdquo

In the Asia-Pacific region international passenger traffic in China rose significantly in part due to the beginning of the Expo 2010 in Shanghai Bangkok was the only airport in the region with a decline (-10) the result of

Schimm says ldquoWorldwide freight growth wins the spotlight this month with a 27 percent increase worldwide and an even more spectacular 35 percent rise for international freight Air freight remains on track to reach or exceed pre-crisis levels in the second quarter The strong upward trend is still intact which bodes well for a sustained global economic recoveryrdquo

The youngest member of the ACI global training family is the ACP which targets mid-range operational staff Developed in consultation with ICAO and other stakeholders and already in the first phase of validation it is positioned as a functional competency-training package that will assist employees in their career path supporting career development as they later move into higher management accreditation programmes such as AMPAP

Relevant for airport supervisors and operational staff as well as ACI World Business Partners (WBPs) interested in getting a holistic understanding of airport functions the ACP concept reflects the characteristics of airport business today ndash competitive and fast changing

ACP will raise practical aspects of airport management with a large curriculum ensuring exposure to many aspects of airport management including the fields of safety security facilitation finance commercial development and environment

Participants will not only be required to obtain their certification but also to maintain it The programme comprises two phases the first with a limited duration and a fixed curriculum for all participants and the second continuous education phase which is cyclical where the participants will be invited to build their own curriculum based on their current training needs and reflecting on-going changes in the industry

The launch is planned for Q3-Q4 this year ACP will target integration with other ACI Programmes such as AMPAP where the programme will be considered as an AMPAP elective Hence participants successfully completing the ACP can pursue their educational path with the full AMPAP programme

Winnipeg Airports Authority joins the OLCA key component of the OLC strategy is the delivery of regional eLearning systems that meet the global and local needs of airports The Winnipeg Airports Authority and Airports Council International have recently signed an agreement for the delivery of a dedicated eLearning portal and web based Learning Management System to be known as the Canadian Airports Online College The online college will provide a range of training programmes focused on Canadian regulations and industry best practices and will be available to airports throughout Canada

Dianna Richardson Human Resources Manager at WAA believes ldquoThis project will benefit airports of all sizes and is part of WAArsquos vision to lead transportation innovation and growth We look forward to collaborating with airports across all reaches of our vast geography The eLearning system has been established to provide airports throughout Canada with industry-recognized accreditation programmes that will enable airport personnel to improve and enhance their proficiencies and management skillsrdquo

One of the first projects to be launched will be developed with the support of the Canadian Airports Council and Transport Canada and will provide online Safety Management Systems awareness training Future plans include the development of a Certificate in Airside Operations programme that will provide airport staff working on the airside with a comprehensive training programme on airside operations

Global ACI-ICAO AMPAPIn recent years the aviation industry has weathered tough economic times and airport managers have increasingly realized the importance of looking ahead and shifting their focus to long-term planning and executive development programmes such as the Global ACI-ICAO Airport Management Professional Accreditation Programme (AMPAP)

Since its inception in June 2007 AMPAP now counts hundreds of participants from over 65 nations worldwide As the Programme continues to grow AMPAP has recognized over 60 graduates holders of the International Airport Professional (IAP) designation and forecasts a record number of graduates for the class of 2010 AMPAP graduates are proud to see the IAP title is quickly acquiring global prestige and recognition Moreover IAPrsquos consider their membership in the AMPAP network a career-long experience and an unparalleled means for continued professional growth and success AMPAP Graduate and Airport Chief Administrative Officer of Sacramento County Airport System Lisa J Stanton IAP noted this sense of community stating ldquoNetworking with airport staff from around the globe is very enlightening and I am pleased to join my colleagues in helping to create a global community of airport professionalsrdquo

Much of AMPAPrsquos success can be attributed to its highly interactive and relevant curriculum which incorporates 4 mandatory and 2 elective courses covering all functional areas of the airport business in key areas such as operations security finance commercial management and airport development
