ACI Asia-Pacific Publishes Report on Green Airports Recognition 2018 ACI Asia-Pacific published a Green Airports Recognition 2018 report showcasing Asia-Pacific and Middle East airports’ waste minimization initiatives. The report highlights airport members’ efforts in waste minimization which serve as an excellent reference for the rest of the industry. The participating airports represent 16% of the total passenger traffic in Asia-Pacific and the Middle East in 2017. The theme of this year’s recognition is waste minimization, one of the top three management priorities identified in the 2017 Regional Environmental Survey. The Green Airports Recognition was established by ACI Asia-Pacific, with the support of the Regional Environment Committee. The objective of the recognition is to promote environmental best practices to minimize aviation’s impact on the environment and to recognise the region’s airport members who have outstanding accomplishments in their environmental projects. The report is now available asiapac.aero/services/main/30

ACI Publishes Annual Report 2017
The ACI Annual Report 2017 highlights key achievements of ACI World and ACI regional offices throughout the year. With a strong focus on topics related to the aviation industry, the Report provides a complete overview of the successes achieved during 2017 and a forecast for upcoming years for ACI, the voice of the world's airports.
World Day against Trafficking in Persons
30 July 2018 is the World Day against Trafficking in Persons. Air transport is a commonly used mode of transport for traffickers. Airports are ideally positioned to assist, both through the training of staff in recognizing and dealing with trafficking situations and by providing information to the public to raise awareness. ACI’s member airports play a critical role in the fight against human trafficking activity through education, vigilance and a strong reporting culture. This can be accomplished by promoting awareness and training to the entire airport community. The Regional Office encourages all members and the broader aviation community to make use of available information and resources to raise awareness, educate and train staff in the ongoing efforts to combat human trafficking. For further information about the campaign and available resources, please visit our website here.
