Feature Stories First Ever ACI DNA course in Asia-Pacific focusing on Aviation Security Concluded! The first ever Developing Nations Airport Assistance (DNA) course in AsiaPacific focusing on Aviation Security was held in Kuala Lumpur on 22-24 June 2015, in collaboration with ACI World and Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB). At the 2nd meeting of the ICAO Regional Aviation Security Coordination Forum (RASCF-2) held in November 2014, ICAO concluded that “IATA, ACI and other relevant stakeholders will coordinate and share information to help ICAO to address the training and capacity building needs in the region to address aviation security concerns.” This DNA course not only provided a platform for airports in the region to enhance their aviation security knowledge but also demonstrated ACI’s commitment to addressing the need for capacity building in Aviation Security. 22 participants from 10 airports in India, Malaysia, Maldives, Myanmar, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Philippines and Pohnpei attended the 2-day programme. Mr. Mustafa Kamal Hj. Alang Othman, General Manager Aviation Security of MAHB gave the opening address and welcomed the

ACI Partners with AAA and NZ Airports to Promote Safety This year ACI Asia-Pacific will be partnering with the Australian Airports Association (AAA) and the New Zealand Airports Association (NZ Airports) on an incredibly exciting initiative to promote safety at airports..
This is the second annual ‘Airport Safety Week’ to be held from Monday 26 October to Friday 30 October 2015. This year the Airport Safety Week will be a region-wide airport industry initiative that will see airport operators come together to promote airport safety. This event is the first of its kind for the aviation industry in the region and targets airport employees and contractors through communication of key safety messages at airports and exciting
events. Airport Safety Week activities aim to engage airport employees to consider their own personal safety as well as their obligations to provide a safe environment for all airport users. The campaign is aimed at enhancing the safety culture at airports by creating a forum for information sharing and innovative thinking when it comes to airport specific safety hazards and how they should be addressed. Participants are provided with a range of resources to help facilitate Airport Safety Week, including event plans for suggested activities to encourage staff and contractor participation. By taking part, airports are able to demonstrate to the community and the travelling public that they have a genuine commitment and determination to maintain a safe environment for all airport users. The education products that will be circulated to participants are designed to evoke thoughts and initiate conversations among airport staff that will get them thinking about airport safety. ACI Asia-Pacific would encourage its members to participate in the Airport Safety Quiz as part of Airport Safety Week 2015. At the end of the quiz, participants will be asked to share a safety enhancement initiative that has been successfully implemented at their airport. Participants making the highest scores in the quiz or putting forward a safety enhancement initiative judged the best by a panel will win a prize at the 11th ACI Asia-Pacific Annual Assembly to be held in Gold Coast Australia in April 2016. The primary communication tool to promote safety will be a daily Airport Safety Week e-newsletter which will be sent to participants to promote key safety messages as well as engage users via an interactive Airport Safety Quiz mentioned above. The information will also be provided for download on the Airport Safety Week website (www.airportsafetyweek.com). The Airport Safety Week initiative forms part of a greater commitment and focus jointly from the ACI Asia-Pacific, AAA and NZ airports to promote, educate and improve safety in and around airports, particularly for operational staff on the airfield. The campaign aims to assist in promoting safety awareness across the airport industry and create an environment that allows for collaboration and the development of safety best-practice. The second annual ‘Airport Safety Week’ initiative, marks an exciting time for safety in the airport sector. We strongly encourage airports from across the Asia Pacific region with an interest in promoting airport safety to get involved and raise airport safety awareness across the industry. The AAA, NZ Airports and ACI Asia-Pacific look forward to helping airports to continue to set the benchmark for safety in the aviation industry.

ACI Revised Briefing Note on Pavement Deicing Products and Carbon Brake Catalytic Oxidation ACI World has recently issued the updated version of ACI Briefing Note for Pavement De-icing Products and Carbon Brake Catalytic Oxidation. The recommendations have implications to operation and environmental personnel at airports with cold winters. To help ensure safe winter operations, many airports and tenants must use chemicals to prevent or remove ice on aircraft movement areas. Airport operators must comply with both aviation and environmental regulation. There is some evidence that the de-icers with the least environmental impact also contribute to the premature structural deterioration of carbon-based aircraft brakes. The issue thus spans airport winter operations and environmental management, aircraft brake design and maintenance, airline economics and operations, and operational safety. This ACI Briefing Note provides airport operators with an overview of the main issues and highlights the need for detailed internal discussions.
