Committee Drafts Safety Strategy and Guidance Materials The ACI Asia-Pacific Regional Operational Safety Committee (ROSC) held its 24th session on 1416 October in Macau, SAR. Mr. Narayanasamy Venkatachalapathy (Hyderabad), Chair, and Mr. José Marçal (Macau), Vice Chair of the Committee led the discussions in a series of plenary and breakout sessions. The ROSC completed drafting guidance materials, initiated at the 23rd session in April 2019, on the following topics: • • • •
Pavement Inspection Wildlife Hazard Management Plan How to be innovative in safety Competency Requirements, Checks and Training for Aerodrome Operations Personnel
The guidelines will be published in 2020. The ROSC then decided on the following topics for guidance materials: 1. Disabled Aircraft Removal 2. Manning Requirements for Aerodrome Operations 3. Implementation of Global Reporting Format for Runway Surface Conditions (GRF) 4. Hazard Identification, Corrective and Preventive Actions
The Committee also reviewed and approved the draft report on the safety culture survey. The survey collected some 400 replies from airport and airline employees in Asia-Pacific and the Middle East. The report is now being reviewed by the Association of Asia-Pacific Airlines and Arab Air Carriers Organization, ACI’s partners for the study. The report will be shared with the region’s members early next year. During the Macau meeting, the ROSC also drew up a four-point strategy to further enhance aerodrome safety in Asia-Pacific: 1. Produce safety guidance materials 2. Engage with ICAO Asia-Pacific and ICAO Middle East 3. Promote a positive safety culture 4. No airport left behind The strategy will be presented for approval next year to the ACI Asia-Pacific Regional Board as part of the Regional Office’s Strategic Plan for 20212023. The Strategic Plan will also map out the course of actions for other business objectives including aviation security, environmental protection and airport economics. The Regional Office expresses its deepest appreciation to CAM-Macau International Airport for hosting the meeting.

Register Your Runway Safety Team In 2016, the 11th ACI Asia-Pacific Regional Assembly passed a resolution urging members to create Runway Safety Teams (RST) at each of their airports. Runway Safety Teams are forums to facilitate sharing of information between key players in the maintenance of runway safety such as airport operators, airlines, air traffic controllers and pilots to ensure serious safety issues are critically reviewed, thoroughly discussed and resolved.
format. The ROSC considers the map a good tool to monitor the implementation status of RST’s in Asia-Pacific and urges the region’s members with an RST in place to REGISTER ONLINE if they haven’t already. For the establishment and running of RST’s, members may also refer to the GUIDELINES recently produced by the ROSC.
During the recent ROSC meeting in Macau, Committee members pointed out an ICAO webpage which features a map to pinpoint RST’s created worldwide in a convenient Google Maps

Airports Urged to Implement Global Reporting Format by November 2020 Runway excursions have risen to the top spot among safety concerns for airports, overtaking runway incursions that were once top of the list. Runway excursions, usually the result of a slippery runway, wet or covered in snow, can occur during landing or takeoff, resulting in the aircraft overshooting or veering off the runway.
attend the ACI/ICAO ONLINE TRAINING COURSE on GRF. For classroom training option, please contact Issa Castro, Training Manager, ACI World via Icastro@aci.aero.
To reduce the risk of runway excursions, ICAO has mandated a new format for reporting the conditions of runway surfaces to help pilots land and takeoff safely. The new format “Global Reporting Format (GRF) for Runway Surface Conditions Reporting” will become applicable on 5 November 2020. The ROSC is calling upon the region’s member airports to implement the new format by the deadline. In addition, airports are encouraged to The Voice of Asia-Pacific Airports | 3
Share Your Safety Issues In order to help ACI Asia-Pacific member airports who are unable to attend ROSC meetings, address their safety issues, members are now invited to share these issues via email for discussion at future Committee meetings. Advice will be provided by correspondence. Please send a summary of the issue to the Committee Secretary, SL Wong at sl@aciasiapac.aero. The issue will then be tabled for discussion at the next Committee meeting in April 2020. ACI will respect members’ confidentiality and will not publish details of the airport or issues unless prior consent is obtained.
ACI Asia-Pacific Engages with Regulators at Annual Summit The Regional Office presented four papers at the annual summit of the 56th Conference of Directors General of Civil Aviation Asia and Pacific Regions (DGCA) on 19-23 August in Kathmandu, Nepal. Thirty-nine civil aviation regulators from Asia-Pacific attended. Three papers, submitted by ACI, promoted ACI’s work in aerodrome certification, facilitating the travel of persons with disabilities through the passenger terminal, and reducing carbon emissions. The fourth paper, jointly submitted with IATA, was mainly designed to encourage States to comply with ICAO’s policy on taxation
and recognize the difference between taxes and user charges. At the Regional Office’s suggestion, the conference agreed to encourage States to consider including APEX in Safety in national aviation safety plans and adhere to ICAO’s policy on taxation. A number of other points for promoting air transport development were also agreed to. The 57th Conference of the DGCA Asia and Pacific Regions will be hosted by Bangladesh in 2020.
The Regional Office participated in the 56th Conference of the DGCA Asia and Pacific in Kathmandu, Nepal.

Security Experts Convene in Perth to Discuss Drone Attacks
Security experts gathered in Perth for the 25th Regional Aviation Security Committee meeting.
Airport security experts convened in Perth, Australia in early October for the 25th ACI AsiaPacific Regional Aviation Security Committee (RASC) meeting. The meeting focused particularly on various emerging aviation security threats including drone attacks against civil aviation. In light of the rising number of drone-related disruptions to airport operations in multiple areas of the world, including the Gatwick Airport drone incident in December 2018, the RASC discussed in detail the pros and cons of various anti-drone technologies. Despite the availability of multiple types of technology in the market, it was contended that no single technology has so far proven to be 100% effective in protecting airports from malicious drone attacks. Committee members were encouraged to share the lessons learnt from the implementation of any anti-drone technologies at their respective airports at future RASC meetings.
and responsibilities of different stakeholders within an airport in relation to the mitigation of drone-related threats. Moreover, two working groups, formed by the Committee in late 2018, continued to work on developing guidance materials on the assessment and promotion of security culture, and competency requirements for security personnel. The two working groups will continue drafting these sets of guidance materials in the next few meetings. The meeting concluded with a tour of the advanced screening technologies, including body scanner and CT screening equipment for cabin baggage, being trialled at Perth Airport. The next meeting will be on 20-21 April 2020 in Nara, Japan.
In addition, the Committee members recognized that there is an urgent need to clarify the roles The Voice of Asia-Pacific Airports | 5
Suite of Initiatives to Help Airports on Cybersecurity Over the years, airports have become highly dependent on critical information systems for daily operations, delivering passenger services and maintaining communications with stakeholders. However, this heavy reliance on technology has also increased airports’ vulnerability to various forms of cyberattacks. The rising number and level of sophistication in cyberattacks against civil aviation globally has prompted airports to do more on cybersecurity to safeguard operations and protect the travelling public. To effectively manage the risk of cybersecurity at airports, it is of paramount importance to secure the support and commitment from top management. This is why ACI published the Cybersecurity for Airport Executives Handbook, designed to offer guidance to airport senior executives on the basics of the management of cybersecurity.
in cybersecurity and how they can effectively reduce the likelihood and potential impact of cyberattacks against airport security systems. In addition to the two guidance materials mentioned, ACI also provides a suite of initiatives to help airport strengthen cybersecurity, such as the online cyber self-assessment tool and various training courses on cybersecurity. Going forward, ACI will continue monitoring the latest development of cybersecurity and assist airports in addressing this latest emerging threat.
Apart from securing support from top management, ACI also sees the need to further enhance cybersecurity awareness among all airport staff, especially those working in job functions that manage and operate multiple critical technology systems. From the regional perspective, the RASC recently released the Guidance Document on Cybersecurity for Airport Security Managers. The guidance document aims to help airport security managers better understand their roles and responsibilities
Security Work Promoted at Chinese Security Technology Conference The Regional Office spoke at the 1st National Aviation Security Technology Conference on 2930 August in Shenzhen, China.
The conference was well attended by airports, airlines, industry associations, technology suppliers and the national security regulator.
The conference discussed technology solutions, such as explosives screening and video analytics to enhance the effectiveness of aviation security. The Regional Office explained to attendees its role in enhancing security on a global level by providing peer review services under the APEX in Security program, training and guidance materials. ACI’s work in engaging with regulators, in particular with ICAO, was also highlighted to the audience.

Economics Committee Reviews Preliminary Findings on Regional Airport Charges Study Airlines around the world are continuing advocacy efforts calling on governments to step up regulation on airport charges, claiming that airports have monopoly power that results in higher airport charges. In Asia-Pacific, the airport charges debate was most active recently in Australia, India and Malaysia. To help the region’s members better respond to these debates, the ACI Asia-Pacific Regional Economics Committee received a firm mandate from the Regional Board to conduct a regionwide study to analyse airport charges and airfares. The scope of work was finalized and ICF was appointed in August as consultant. The key
the study are as follows: 1. Demonstrate how airport charges factor into airline operating expenses for various market segments and country markets 2. Analyse how a change in airport charges is related (or not related) to variations in airfares The Committee is reviewing the preliminary findings of the study at its meeting on 1819 November in Bahrain, to further discuss refinements, with an aim to finalize the study by the end of this year.

Protocol for Passenger Wait Time Available Now With the projected doubling in passenger numbers in the next 20 years, airports and airlines will come under increasing pressure to reduce connection times to accommodate passengers’ demands. Appropriate planning and real-time situational awareness are key to providing a better passenger experience through collaboration with other partners. The ACI Aviation Community Recommended Information Services (“ACRIS”) working group has developed a standard protocol for expressing Passenger Wait Times for the aviation community. The purpose of this documentation is to provide the aviation community with a protocol for the exchange of standardized security screening checkpoint wait times. This can be used by airports wishing to share wait time information directly with passengers via mobile apps or on company websites, with airlines, governments and other stakeholders. This protocol is based on ACI’s common language for data exchange, the ACRIS Semantic Model. The specification defines metrics for each queue at each
checkpoint throughout an airport. Through broad adoption by airports, it is anticipated that industry partners, federal agencies, and vendors will support this standard when designing their products and systems. ACI will issue periodic updates to this specification as more stakeholders’ inputs are provided and requirements evolve. For further information about ACRIS and how it can help airports accurately and reliably exchange data, please contact Mr. Serge Yonke Nguewo, Senior Manager Airport IT of ACI World, at syonkenguewo@aci.aero.

Airport Corner Plastic-free initiatives at Kansai Airports Group Kansai Airports Group’s (KAP Group) One Eco Airport Plan, published in April 2018, outlines the vision of an eco-friendly smart airport. The three airports in the group - Kansai International Airport, Osaka International Airport and Kobe Airport, are implementing various initiatives to reduce the environmental impact under four key principles: 1. 2. 3. 4.
Response to climate change Resource usage Harmonious coexistence Environmental management
As part of resource usage, several initiatives are underway to reduce plastic waste and promote recycling. Firstly, Kansai Airports Group is actively promoting a programme to reduce plastic usage, improve reuse and recycling. This initiative, to be implemented in April 2020, will replace plastic shopping bags, currently in use in duty-free and retail shops managed by Kansai Airports Group, with environmentally-friendly paper bags and bio-based bags. Paper bags will be made from FSC-certified materials that originate from wellmanaged forests and logged with care for the environment and local communities. Looking ahead, Kansai Airports Group will expand the use of environmentally-friendly shopping bags to all tenants in the airports through the activities of the Airport Environmental Promotion Council.
Thirdly, Kansai Airports Group has implemented a strategy to increase the reuse of umbrellas and suitcases by providing used ones at different locations through its airports. More initiatives are in the planning, specially to improve the recycling of plastic in cargo areas for the wrapping of goods, creating specific recycling businesses with local communities and so on. Kansai Airports Group’s long-term strategy is to become a zero-plastic airport. Who else is up for the challenge?
Secondly, Osaka international Airport has joined a workgroup led by Toyonaka City to encourage its tenants to obtain eco-friendly shop certification. Osaka international Airport is aiming to certify all its tenants.
Kazuyuki SHIBUYA, Assistant Manager, Environmental Management, tech. HQ, Kansai Airports, has worked in the environment team at Kansai Airports Group since 2015. He is in charge of topics such as waste, aircraft noise, Airport Carbon Accreditation and airport environmental assessment. In his free time, he enjoys fishing and cycling with his two boys, 8 and 5 years old.

GSE Pooling Scheme at Hong Kong In July 2018, Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK) rolled out a Ground Services Equipment (GSE) Pooling Scheme, which helps to increase ground operation efficiency and to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with airport operations.
Phase 3 • In 2024, eventually cover the rest of HKIA including the future Third Runway Concourse Apron. • By that time, AAHK will own 1,000 units of GSE and become the world’s first international airport to adopt GSE pooling to such a scale.
BENEFITS OF THE SCHEME
HKIA GSE Pooling Scheme – electric lower deck loader
Unlike most other airports, parking stands at Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) are shared for common use – where an aircraft from any airline may be assigned to any parking stand. Depending on the location where their customers’ aircraft are parked, the three ramp handling operators (RHOs) operating at HKIA have to deploy their staff and GSE to the parking stands where they are needed. As the number of air traffic movements has increased, the redeployment of their resources from flight to flight across the apron increasingly led to traffic congestion during peak periods of the day. This not only affected the on-time performance of arriving baggage and departing flights but also generated more GHG emissions, as most of their GSE fleets were diesel-powered. In the HKIA GSE Pooling Scheme, AAHK procures, manages and maintains GSE such as conveyor belt loaders, lower deck loaders and passenger steps. 95% of these are electric-powered. These critical GSE are stationed on each parking stand for rental by the RHOs. The Scheme is being implemented in three phases: Phase 1 • Implemented at the Midfield Apron in July 2018, and expanded to the North Satellite Concourse and the remote bays at the West Apron in January 2019. • Covers over 250 units of GSE. Phase 2 • Expand to cover the Terminal 1 Apron in 2022.
The Scheme delivers a range of benefits to various stakeholders: RHOs • No capital investment is required, and hence reduces their financial risks. • Manpower saving from searching for and driving GSE from stand to stand. HKIA • Enables building in redundancy to cater for different operational needs without increasing the size of HKIA’s GSE fleet, and hence reduce apron road traffic. • Improves local air quality and reduces airport-wide carbon emissions as 95% of the pooling GSE are electric-powered. Airlines • Increases flexibility in choosing RHO as GSE is no longer a concern. • Eliminates on-time performance failure caused by insufficient of or lateness of GSE. Passengers • Improves on-time performance of their flights and baggage
COMMITMENT TO ELECTRIFICATION The HKIA GSE Pooling Scheme is a core part of AAHK’s electrification plan, which will increase the number of electric-powered vehicles operating at HKIA to over 3,000 by 2030 and expand the charging network to 1,320 in the same period. In July 2019, AAHK joined the global environmental initiative EV100. Initiated by The Climate Group, EV100 honours companies making significant commitments to introduce electric vehicles.
Bill Lau, Assistant General Manager, Standards & Service Delivery, Airport Authority Hong Kong, is responsible for AAHK’s compliance with aerodrome licensing requirements as set out by the Civil Aviation Department of the HKSAR Government, as well as the upholding of licensing standards for airside vehicles, ramp operational staff and ramp franchisees. He is one of the leading staff in developing and implementing the Ground Services Equipment Pooling Scheme at HKIA. 14 | The Voice of Asia-Pacific Airports
