International Airport Community Work Together to Improve Safety ACI has two levels of working groups to provide the international airport community the forums to discuss ways to improve safety and form collective positions on safety when dealing with other organizations. At the global level the ACI World Safety & Technical Standing Committee (STSC), comprising of airside safety and operations managers from around the world, discuss common issues concerning all countries. At the regional level, each of the five regional offices of ACI convenes their own safety committees, mainly to work together on areas of more specific interest to their regions. In Asia-Pacific, a geographical and culturally diverse region, the ACI Asia-Pacific Regional Operational Safety Committee (ROSC) is the standard-bearer of safety enhancements.
The two committees recently met separately. The 34th meeting of the global body was held from 26 to 28 January 2016 in Hong Kong, where the Regional Office of ACI Asia-Pacific is located. The Regional Committee met on 21 & 22 April 2016 in Gold Coast Australia to benefit from the occasion of the ACI Asia-Pacific Annual Assembly held in the same city. The proceedings and outcomes of the two meetings are summarized in the following.
ICAO, the Key Lobbying Target for ACI at Global Level >>back to top

The World Committee meeting reviewed the progress and roll-out plan for the production of new safety handbooks. Over the years, the Committee has produced a number of relevant handbooks much appreciated by ACI members, e.g. the Runway Safety Handbook, Emergency Preparedness and Emergency Planning Handbook and the Apron Safety Handbook. In the pipeline are handbooks on safety management system, airport operations under adverse (bad) weather and low visibility (fog or heavy rain), rescue and firefighting (in case of air crash), and simple guidelines on the use of drones near and on airports. Announcement of the new handbooks will be notified to ACI members via email and information available on ACI website (www.aci.aero/Publications/Safety-Security-Operations). The Hong Kong meeting also spent considerable time on deliberating ACI’s positioning at ICAO working meetings to ensure airports’ interests and views are adequately considered in the formulation of airport design and operational standards. These ICAO working meetings cover a wide range of issues including runway friction (to ensure aircraft do not skid e.g. even when it is raining), a new and more accurate way to compare airfield pavement strength and aircraft weight (so that pavements don’t crack under a fully loaded aircraft), a simplified marking on runway touch down zone (to facilitate pilot’s aiming for landing) and the amendments to Annex 19 (Safety Management) to promote national legislations favorable to data sharing and protection for the prevention of accidents. For the APEX in Safety program, the World Committee decided to create a subcommittee to ensure that its long-term development suits the needs of ACI’s members. APEX in Safety is a peer-review program whereby ACI dispatch a team of safety experts to a voluntary host airport to conduct an on-site safety review and make recommendations to improve safety. The program was launched in 2012 and has so far benefited more than 50 airports around the world. Another task of the World Committee was to completely review Chapter 5 of the ACI Policy Handbook. The Policy handbook is a public document spelling out ACI’s positions on defined strategic areas such as safety, security and environment. The document was last updated in 2009 and this review is to incorporate technological, regulatory and market changes in the aviation industry since then. The Chair and Vice-Chair of the regional safety committee are ex officio members of the World Committee to speak on behalf of Asia-Pacific at the global level. The next (35th) ACI World Safety and Technical Committee meeting will be held in Montreal from 11 to 13 October 2016.
Asia-Pacific Working on Data Sharing and Safety Guidelines The Regional Committee meeting in Gold Coast, after a plenary session, split into two groups to develop a regional safety sharing program and safety guidelines. As mentioned above, data sharing is one of the keys to improve safety because obviously without reliable data, such as the monthly number of safety incidents and accidents, it would be difficult to detect alarming trends and take preventive actions, not to mention to learn lessons from past experience. Unfortunately the prevailing culture is still one of mistrust and the international community has a lot to do to gain the trust of everybody in the industry and educate the general public. The proposed amendment to ICAO Annex 19 is a step in the right direction to foster a good safety culture. However, given the current safety climate, the ACI Asia-Pacific regional data sharing group decided to start with a >>back to top
ACI Asia-Pacific Technical Bulletin Page 5
small scale, confidential data sharing program within the regional committee. The primary purpose is to benchmark and to learn from the best performers. A project timeline has been established and the Committee is planning to review the first batch of data at their next (18th) meeting in Dubai in early October. Working concurrently with the data sharing group in Gold Coast was the Safety Guideline Working Group. This latter group was tasked with identifying topics for which until now safety guidelines had been lacking or, if available, not entirely clear. The group agreed on ten topics which were reviewed and prioritized in the plenary session. The Committee voted for “safety promotional materials” first, which was followed by “hazard identification, corrective and preventive actions” and the rest. The regional secretariat will start collecting and compiling safety promotional materials such as posters and slogans this summer for the Committee’s review at their autumn meeting. Even if you are not a member of the regional safety committee and the materials at your airport are not in the English language – safety is a universal language and transcends national borders - you are welcome to contribute to this work by contacting SL Wong, Head - Technical & Industry Affairs, at sl@aci-asiapac.aero.
ACI Asia-Pacific Equally Active at ICAO Regions While ACI World engages with the ICAO Headquarters in Montreal, ACI Asia-Pacific spends considerable time with ICAO in their Asia-Pacific office in Bangkok and the Middle Office in Cairo. Together these two ICAO regions cover more than 50 countries and time zones spanning from GMT + 2 (Cairo) to GMT – 10 (Cook Islands). The Gold Coast meeting reviewed the outcome of the recent ICAO Asia-Pacific and Middle East regional meetings on safety and discussed ACI’s interventions at upcoming meetings.
New Asia-Pacific Chair Elected Mr. Cheng Ling Perng (Malaysia Airports) was elected Chair of the ACI Asia-Pacific Regional Operational Safety Committee for a term of two years at the Gold Coast meeting. An election will be organized in the next few months to find a replacement for Cheng, who was the Vice-Chair of the committee. Cheng is replacing Mr. Smaël Banse (AIG Jordan) who had completed his two-year term. The Committee thanked Mr. Banse for his leadership and support in the last two years. As one of the past Chairs of the committee, he will always be welcome to come back to join the meetings.

Security Session at the 11th ACI Asia-Pacific Regional Assembly, Conference & Exhibition The 11th ACI Asia-Pacific Regional Assembly, Conference & Exhibition was successfully concluded in Gold Coast, Australia on 18-20 April 2016. A Technical Day dedicated to Security, Safety, Airport IT and Environment was held on 20 April 2016. At the Security Session, where over 150 delegates had registered, the moderator of the first panel, Mr. Vince Scanlon, Executive General Manager Planning and Infrastructure of Adelaide Airport, commenced by saying that the aviation industry is very important to the country’s economy. Ensuring the security of this industry has been a major challenge to airports worldwide and due to the emergence of new threats, the task is becoming more and more challenging. As Chair of the ACI Asia-Pacific Regional Aviation Security Committee, Mr. Scanlon added that the uniqueness of this region which comprises airports from almost 50 countries, made it difficult to seek for harmonization in security checkpoint requirements which may result in confusion among the travelling public. He then introduced his panel which included: • • • •

APEX in Security - ACI conducted first pilot review at Mauritius Airport ACI has launched its first Airport Excellence (APEX) in Security pilot security review at Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport in Mauritius. ACI is pleased to be working with Mauritius Airport on the project, which will enable the fine tuning of the programme for future security reviews at airports around the world. The APEX in Security programme is a peer review process that offers advice on best practice and identification of areas for improvement. The ultimate aim of the programme is to promote more secure airport operations worldwide. Airports of Mauritius Co Ltd. (AML) has asked ACI’s APEX in Security team to perform the review, which will help them identify security gaps at their airports. APEX in Security is run on similar lines to the popular APEX in Safety programme, now in its fifth year. It uses international standards and recommended practices, supplemented by implementation guidelines as its base, and supplements this with the expert views of seasoned practitioners from similar sized airports around the world.

just as the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has strongly supported APEX in Safety, it has also provided strong support of APEX in Security. ACI World Director General Angela Gittens and ICAO Secretary General Fang Liu signed a Memorandum of Understanding in February 2016 which helps ACI and ICAO work together to deliver security reviews, offer technical assistance, develop programmes for airport personnel training and enhance regional partnerships. “A sustainable aviation industry is built upon a foundation of safety and security,” said Gittens. “I would like to thank Airports of Mauritius for participating in the APEX in Security pilot. Using the peer review formula established by the successful APEX in Safety programme, APEX in Security will make measureable differences in the security operations at airports worldwide, while at the same time bringing together experts in the field to share experiences and learn from each other”.
APEX in Security - ACI and ICAO signed MoU to enhance cooperation on airport security in February 2016 The new MoU will see ACI and ICAO working more closely towards the objectives of ACI’s Airport Excellence (APEX) in Security programme, including working together to deliver security reviews, technical assistance, programmes for airport personnel training and the enhancement of regional partnerships. “This new agreement establishes a framework for cooperation which will help to improve airport security worldwide,” explained ICAO’s Secretary General, Dr. Fang Liu. “ICAO very much appreciates ACI’s proactive leadership on all aspects of effective airport operation, and by improving our cooperation we can better ensure that international airports remain suitably secure and efficient, and have the necessary tools for driving increased economic development and global connectivity.” The APEX in Security programme is designed to help airports identify and address security vulnerabilities through a peer review process that offers advice on best practices and identification of areas for improvement. The ultimate aim of the programme is to promote more secure airport operations worldwide. “I would like to thank Dr. Liu and ICAO for their unwavering support of APEX,” said ACI World Director General Angela Gittens. “ACI and ICAO are fully aligned in our belief that a sustainable, successful aviation industry is built upon a foundation of safety and security. With this signing we lay the groundwork to further strengthen that foundation.”

ACI Advisory - Landside security The terrorist attacks in the landside area of Brussels Airport on 22 March 2016 have again brought aviation security sharply into focus for all aviation stakeholders, governments and in the media. Ensuring the security of the traveling public is a top priority for ACI and its member airports, and a prerequisite for a sustainable worldwide aviation system. Background Aviation-specific security regulations focus on the airside spaces (non-public spaces of airports accessible only to air passengers who hold a valid boarding pass and to security cleared staff). These regulations are designed to prevent unlawful interference with air transport. Landside spaces (airport spaces accessible to the general public) are subject to general security regulations enacted by national authorities. It is therefore up to these national authorities to review and coordinate with airports to identify the appropriate measures that match their specific threat scenario. In the coming months, ACI expects to see both ICAO and national regulators highlight this issue and set new standards and recommended practices for landside security in response to the perceived increase in threat, the attacks in Brussels and previous attacks on public areas of airports such as Glasgow and Domodedovo (Moscow). ACI is working with ICAO to ensure that airport views are reflected in guidance material and that best practices are taken into consideration. This advisory bulletin is addressed to ACI members and identifies a number of options and best practices airports can use to protect landside spaces. Not all of the measures identified would be the responsibility of the airport; in many instances airports own the real estate landside but the responsibility for public spaces lies with local law enforcement. However, the measures below can be used in discussion with local authorities and national regulators when determining the risk level and appropriate actions. The top priority should be to agree responsibility and accountability for measures between the airport and the regulator. The following list provides a set of actions and measures that may be appropriate for the protection of landside spaces; not all will be applicable in all cases.

Asia-Pacific Regional Environment Committee’s (REC) update was presented by the REC Vice Chair included a brief report on current works of the REC with special emphasis on the Pilot Environmental Survey and works with IATA regarding Cabin Waste Management. The meeting also discussed the ongoing tasks of documents development such as Regional Curfews, Adaptation to Climate Change and ACI Policy Handbook etc. There were also updates on ICAO Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection (CAEP) in works such as Airport Community Engagement and Performance Based Navigation (PBN), Airport Planning Manual Part 2 and the update of Airport Air Quality Manual. The host has arranged the members to visit the Boeing 737 factory where participants were able to discuss fuel saving features of the new 737 max fleet. The next meeting will be in March 2017 kindly host by Airport Authority of Hong Kong.
ICAO High-Level Meeting on Global MBM and ATAG In preparation for the final agreement at ICAO’s triennial Assembly starting in late September on a global marketbased measure (GMBM) to cap net carbon emissions from international aviation, ICAO held its High-Level Meeting on Global MBM on 11-13 May in Montreal. To support this, the Air Transport Action Group (ATAG) representing the aviation industry held their Global Sustainable Aviation Forum a day before and delivered The Communique that emphasise the need for a single global mechanism for air transport that tries to avoid market distortion, preferably from a cost perspective to a patchwork of different measures that the aviation sector is used to more complex regulations and it would soon become a normal part of business. The global offsetting scheme is a complementary and temporary emissions gap-filler to address international aviation’s climate responsibility until radical new technology, together with the deployment of sustainable alternative fuels, brings aviation CO2 emissions back below 2020 levels. It is intended to be simply one additional tool in the >>back to top
ACI Asia-Pacific Technical Bulletin Page 13
basket of measures available to the sector.
After three days of complex negotiations in the High-Level Meeting, ICAO states were able to advance significant progress in identifying a number of areas of common agreement and understanding, including the need to establish a global scheme to ensure ICAO could deliver on its aspirational goals and a route-based approach to ensure a level playing field. There was also a recognition by all states of a need to recognise the special circumstances and respective capabilities of states while minimising market distortions and administratively simple and cost-effective. However, there are still work to be done in relation to the use of other phase-in criteria, economic development metrics, and on the use of an approach that takes into account both sectoral growth and individual state growth of emissions that will need to be agreed for further negotiation before the Assembly.

Airport’s Corner >>back to top
World first biosecurity and airport waste reduction facility at Auckland Airport The Waste Challenge at Auckland Airport Auckland Airport services an average of 50 international flights per day, which produce a total of approximately 40 tonnes of unprocessed cabin waste (excluding galley waste) per month – including 8 to 9 tonnes of plastic (PET), 8 to 9 tonnes of newspapers, 2 to 3 tonnes of head rest covers as well as headphones, inflatable head rests and numerous other items left behind by passengers. For biosecurity reasons all this waste must be processed at the border, in this case sterilised on site at Auckland Airport. Prior to July 2015 the airport’s transitional waste facility delivered the simple but environmentally unsatisfactory solution of compacting all 40 tonnes per month of aircraft cabin waste before dispatching it for steam sterilisation and deep burial in landfill.
The Solution with Multi-benefits To advance waste recovery and recycling in line with other Auckland Airport waste reduction initiatives, Auckland >>back to top
ACI Asia-Pacific Technical Bulletin Page 17
Airport’s waste minimisation team, Ministry of Primary Industries (MPI), OCS – a facilities management company specialising in sustainable solutions have gather together, planned and implemented a new revolutionary approach of repurposing the waste facility to sort all the incoming cabin waste. It was staffed by shift workers trained to sort waste to MPI specifications for which items could be reused or recycled and which must be quarantined and destroyed for biosecurity reasons. After 6 months, NZD40,000 of facility upgrade, the first three months of operation, the facility received and processed 114,218kg (114 tonnes) of cabin waste. More than half of this (64,669kg) was recycled. That equates to an average of 695kg of recycling per day and means that 57% of the total waste processed was diverted from landfill. Apart from achieving the sustainability goal, the new process of sorting waste actually makes the real biosecurity risks easier to manage. Genuine risk items are much easier to steam sterilise once separated from a pile of other waste, in addition, the new facility staffed in shifts by seven local employees recruited and trained specifically for the role. This contributes to Auckland Airport’s corporate responsibility goal to be a good neighbour and support local employment through its supply chain partnerships. More information regarding this project is available in the following link. Mr. Martin Fryer has been Sustainability Manager at Auckland Airport for the past eight years. He is a sustainability professional with extensive experience of embedding sustainability into businesses across a range of sectors including food, steel, aviation and airports. He is particularly proud of this project stating: “This is a fantastic example of how collaboration with supply chain partners and airport stakeholders can lead to innovative solutions that have positive economic, social and environmental outcomes.”
