Dear Members,

Kevin Caron, Director, Capacity Building Programmes, ACI World

2

It’s been a busy year-to-date as we continue to expand our global training offerings to your valuable staff. Over the last two quarters, ACI, in collaboration with member airports and ICAO has delivered specialized training in all five ACI regions, to some 463 attendees from 37 countries. Over the next quarter, we look forward to delivering a host of fresh and updated training courses. In this edition we are pleased to include content related to the Airport Excellence (APEX) Programmes, which fall directly under the umbrella of capacity building for our members.

The continual growth related to capacity building through the development of people, business, and facilities is essential as we expect passenger traffic to double to 15.7 billion passengers by 2031. In order to meet traffic demand, we need to lead innovative solutions to support this growth while exceeding customer expectations when providing safe, secure, sustainable, and economically viable airports.

To this end, we strongly invite our valuable members to participate in our mid-year training needs assessment as we begin looking into the future and plan for 2019. With article contributions from both the APEX and Global Training teams, some highlights include airport safety and development plans for member airports and a cybersecurity training offered through Munich Airport with a state-of-the-art academy.

Lastly, we would like to highlight the success of our members by including an article from the incredible team at Abu Dhabi Airports’ Gulf Centre for Aviation Studies (GCAS), a recognized ACI Training Centre. We are also pleased to include testimonials from Global Safety Network (GSN) graduates.

We welcome article submissions and testimonials from members and hope to meet many of you during the ACI World/ Europe Annual General Assembly in Brussels being held this 18–20 June.

2019 Global Training Needs Assessment (TNA)

Over the last decade, the Global Training (GT) department has made tremendous strides in “building training capacity” through the quality-driven programmes we have developed and delivered to our membership and the aviation industry as a whole. Given our main mandate to support one of ACI’s strategic goals in providing airport members with industry knowledge, advice and assistance, and fostering professional excellence in airport management and operations, GT is now recognized as the leading airport management and operations training provider in the industry.

To ensure that our training curriculum always meets current and future competency requirements for airport personnel globally, on an annual basis GT distributes a training needs assessment (TNA) tool to plan and forecast training offerings for the following year. The TNA is a survey used to collect quantitative and qualitative data to determine what training needs to be developed to help individuals and their organization accomplish their goals and objectives.

In conducting this survey, we seek in-put from a wide range of stakeholders, which include, but is not limited to:

• Past students that have registered and attended a previous ACI course or programme;

• Human resource departments for airports;

• ACI Steering Committee members on airport training;

• ACI World Standing Committees for safety, security, environment, economics, facilitation, and customer service;

• ACI training centres and venues;

• World Business Partners; and

• Interested parties who directly or indirectly work within the aviation, with emphasis on the airport industry.

> Take part in the Global Training Needs Assessment Survey.

ACI thanks all participants for the support and feedback, helping to create the best-in-class service industry wide.

Airports are testing and rolling out new biometric passenger facial recognition and fingerprint scanning devices to ease check-in and passenger flows improving the overall passenger travel experience. As passenger traffic grows, airports are met with the task of creating more efficiency throughout their airport at every touch point. Digital innovation will not only streamline current practices but potentially revamp the entire airport experience. Rene Armas Maes, Managing Director of Jet Link International, provides his expert advice and unique insight into these new transformative technologies.

1. ACI World and SITA have forecasted airports will spend more than US$9 billion in IT investment this year. What are the top IT investment priori-ties for airports?

Passenger self-services continue to dominate airport IT investment strat-egies. These services include biomet-ric-enabled self-services, such as bag drop, unassisted e-gate services and border clearance kiosks for travellers entering or returning to a country. In addition, mobile apps and cloud-based software, known as a SaaS platform, are top priorities especially for mega hub airports as it allows airlines and ground handlers to share physical space and IT resources at an airport. Also, one can observe a big push for location-based technology such as beacon technology.

2. Regarding Wi-Fi strategy, we understand the discussion airports are having today on how to monetize said invest-ment through a tiered Wi-Fi business model. But at the same time, airports are trying

to push airport retail sales. Wouldn’t they contradict?

That is a very good question. A com-mercial balance between free Wi-fi capabilities for basic internet brows-ing including retail and airport services purchase vs. more sophisticated high-speed service options should be eval-uated.

In a typical airport, you will observe three classes of service with different economic models: unlimited compli-mentary Wi-Fi service supported by a sponsor, standard one size fits all paid services and subscription based for frequent business travellers who see the airport as an extension of their of-fice.

But I see the opportunity to further add at least two other commercial opportunities:

a) Limited complimentary basic internet browsing time b) And a high-speed semi premium internet browsing services up to 30 Mbps (megabits

per second)

Therefore, we can observe why it is important that airports consider a tiered Wi-Fi strategy because consum-ers have different needs. Furthermore, when it comes to connectivity there is a need to further segment your cus-tomers and optimize revenues. As an example, a premium Wi-Fi service can be offered at a discounted price in ex-change of passengers’ willingness to complete a detailed passenger profile.

3. How can location-based technology or beacons help airports to maximize revenues and improve the passenger journey through the airport?

Sensor or beacon technology can help airports understand and monitor pas-senger flows through the terminals especially at critical points and during peak times. Therefore, they can assist airports to avoid congestion, meet or exceed service levels and certainly optimize sales. Likewise, beacon-en-abled mobile app can offer wayfinding for passengers to truly enjoy an im-mersive travel experience. A beacon located at a check-in counter area can help airports proactively manage pas-senger flows while minimizing bottle-necks. Collecting and analyzing this re-al-time data allows airports to optimize passenger flows and maximize time spent in areas with revenue potential such as airport concessionaires.

4. How can an airport get started in the digital transfor-mation journey?

Today, a digital strategy for airports is a core strength.

For starters, airports need to map out passenger flows at terminals and

processes to ascertain current airport travel experience by key areas from check-in to baggage claim. They must also identify where their “pain points” are by immersing themselves in their customers shoes.

Also, it is imperative to conduct a com-plete evaluation of the IT business from its infrastructure all the way to the operational challenges. Under-standing global digital trends and iden-tifying which technology can be em-ployed to improve customer service, reduce cost and increase commercial operations is also a key component.

The ACI Airport Digital Transformation working group has also produced a Digital Airport Survey, which includes a self-assessment document for airports to be able to identify where they are along the digital transformation jour-ney: from mobile app and Wi-Fi to in-novation lab, chatbots and biometrics. ACI Airport Digital Transformation Best Practices also covers potential func-tional areas applying digital transfor-mation at airports.

To conclude, keep in mind that digita-lization yields potential for both addi-tional revenues and cost efficiency as well as improved travel experience and human capital productivity.

For more information on Airport Digital Transformation download the ACI Airport Digital Transformation Best Practices publication. ACI Global Training is currently developing a classroom course that will address many of the topics discussed above. Be on the lookout for this new course coming in 2019.

With the rapid evolution of the dig-ital age, there is also an alarming increase in the number of cyber-at-tacks on IT systems within public and private sectors. As such, more and more airports, are taking a proactive role in addressing these challenges with Munich Airport, operated by Flughafen München GmbH (FMG), being at the forefront in developing its own dedicated training centre to tackle the threat of cyber-attacks.

Munich Airport’s new training centre, which officially started operations in January 2018, will bring together IT experts from its own organization (FMG) as well as specialists from high-profile tech companies to test defensive strategies and look for new solutions in the fight against cybercriminals. With the support of three reknowned European IT security companies - ERNW INSIGHT, HvS-Consulting and IT-CUBE SYSTEMS - this new facility is known as the “Information Security Hub or ISH”.

Cybersecurity threats

In response to the present cyber

threats that exist, Thomas Weyer, the CFO and Director of Infrastructure at FMG stated, “As an airport operating company, we are responsible for the functionality of critical infrastructure and must take up the fight every day to ensure protection against cyber-attacks.”

ACI recognizes the importance of promoting training programmes and strategies to mitigate these cybersecurity threats. ACI is pleased to accredit and recognize the cybersecurity courses offered by FMG’s Airport Academy under the ACI Accredited Training Institute (ATI).

Kevin Caron, Director, Capacity Building Programmes, for ACI stated, “The cybersecurity programmes endorsed by ACI under the ATI framework are in keeping with the mandated training needs outlined by the ACI Security Standing Committee to ensure a safe, secure, and efficient transportation system.”

Munich Airport training centre

The new centre at Munich Airport has four training rooms and IT labs, a con-

trol room and an amphitheater for pre-sentations and briefings. All of the fa-cilities are equipped with computers, network hardware, cameras, and pro-jectors. With this fully equipped cyber simulation range equipment, a group can carry out realistic attacks on IT systems for training purposes, for ex-ample, with a second group assigned to take defensive measures.

The main target group of the ISH will be airports. However, airlines and other partners from the aviation industry that must meet the new regulatory requirements for the transportation sector are invited to participate and attend these programmes.

Airports that have properly trained staff and have access to the right tools in order to address the current tech-nological challenges stand to benefit from better incident prevention by en-suring a seamless customer service experience for the end user, the trav-elling public.

The Airport Financial Management course was developed based on the feedback and input on member training needs from the ACI World Economics Standing Committee (WESC).

With emphasis on airports moving towards a more financially sustainable model, the course was created with the intent in providing participants with a more thorough understanding of how to optimize financial management and capital programming by applying investor engagement principles.

Launched in Abu Dhabi, the pilot programme received support from senior airport financial controllers and managers from Argentina, Bahrain, France, Maldives, Nepal, Nigeria, Romania, and the United Arab Emirates.

Course overview

The course started with a broad discussion on the strategic financial issues facing airports in terms of how to find the resources to serve growing passenger and cargo demand; while also highlighting the importance of stakeholder engagement in times of economic, political, and social turmoil.

One of the key discussion areas covered was how modern airports use a wide variety of tools to manage working capital, and at the same time establish careful policies to report on airport management best practices to the outside world.

For many course participants the most challenging debate was how to best engage both public treasury and pri-vate asset markets in attracting debt and equity to fund continued industry growth.

“Aviation, and airport industry in particular, have a unique framework of operations and managing business, which makes it challenging to apply standard practices when it comes to

financial management. Therefore, I strongly support and welcome this initiative from ACI” Abdul Majeed Al Khoori, Acting Chief Executive Officer, Abu Dhabi Airports.

During the week, participants also worked together in teams to assess best-practice case study airports on their financial management activities, and presented their findings to the group.

Course facilitator Dr. Joe Sulmona, a senior professional in innovative private and public sector development, stated “the new ACI Airport Financial Management course pretty much hit the right mark, and we are grateful to all the participants for their feedback so we can enhance the course material in time for the next offering to be held in Munich, Germany in July.”

For passengers flying into Abu Dhabi, the view is spectacular. As the aircraft begins its descent, you first see a vast landscape of untouched desert, which then changes to a very modern city skyline. Depending on the flight path, you could get a glimpse of the iconic Louvre Abu Dhabi or perhaps a big splash of red known as Ferrari World. But, as you land at Abu Dhabi International Airport, there is one massive building that every single passenger can’t help but notice – Abu Dhabi Airports Midfield Terminal Building or to put it more simply the “MTB”.

World class airport hub

The MTB is a pioneering airport terminal concept when it comes to its design, the technology used and for its focus not just on the passenger experience but also on its environmental impact. In that context, Abu Dhabi Airports realized that

along with the emphasis on building infrastructure and implementing the latest technology, there also needed to be an even stronger focus on building the human capital capabilities enabling Abu Dhabi International Airport to strengthen its position as a world-class airport hub. This led to the establishment of the Gulf Center for Aviation Studies (GCAS) in 2009, with the vision for the center to act as an enabler in building an innovative culture of learning, as well to uphold the highest possible standards within the industry. Over the past 10 years, GCAS has seen thousands of airport professionals not just from Abu Dhabi Airports, but from airports around the world attending courses, interacting, sharing, collaborating, and building strong professional networks.

GCAS and ACI

The airport industry is a microcosm of people, cultures, skills, and passion, collaborating and working together to ensure the continued success of airports is achieved. We trust that GCAS and Abu Dhabi Airports will be true flag bearers of the UAE, in supporting the sustainable development values of

Sheikh Zayed, which have made the UAE what it is today.

As the Year of Zayed goes on, the GCAS team is extremely proud of its long and strong association with ACI. We would like to take this opportunity to invite fellow airport colleagues to the UAE and to GCAS, to experience not just the vitality of this dynamic country and its people, but also to a great ACI training experience with the variety of courses that have been scheduled in Abu Dhabi.

And even if you are not attending a training course, but are in the UAE for business or leisure, please feel free to stop by at GCAS. The team will be more than happy to meet you and give you a taste of some true Arabian hospitality!

Like the tag-line of: Visit Abu Dhabi: “Your Extraordinary Story!”, let’s make this “Our Extraordinary Story” because aviation is truly an extraordinary story uniting and involving all of us, globally!

APEX in Security

The first APEX in Security pilot was conducted in April 2016 at Sir Seewoo-sagur Ramgoolam International Airport in Mauritius.

The full programme was officially launched during the 27th ACI Africa/World Annual General Assembly, Conference & Exhibition in Mauritius in October 2017, allowing for all member airports to have access to security reviews.

Based on the same principles as the APEX in Safety programme, this new initiative helps airports to identify and address weaknesses in operation-al security management at facilities,

Since the first pilot review in Lome, Togo in 2011 the Airport Excellence (APEX) Programmes have come a long way. Today, APEX has successfully reviewed and assessed over 80 member airports improving their safety and security initiatives on a global scale.

The APEX Safety Programme has grown over the years, increasing reviews and developing better tools for members. The success of this initiative has led to the development of the APEX in Security Programme, allowing ACI World to provide a more complete approach when assessing any airport.

terminal design, screening, risk man-agement, and security management systems.

The APEX in Security programme is support by ICAO and has attracted a lot of interest from airport members and industry stakeholders. It follows the ICAO Security standards, and for European airports - the European Union (EU) standards. Although still in the early stages, national and international organizations have already expressed an interest in becoming more involved including the EU, the US Transportation Security Administration (TSA), and the Australian Office of Transport Security (OTS).

APEX reviews and the benefits for airports

With the expertise of the safety and security assessors, APEX reviews are able to:

• Measure safety and security performance

• Identify gaps and recommend solutions

• Enhance operational management processes for efficiency

• Provide opportunities to increase safety and security throughout the airport

• Contribute to a more sustainable safety and security management system while creating financial benefits

Coming up for APEX

This year the objective is to complete a total of 30 assessments in safety and security. APEX is working closely with the 130 airport partners who provide access the highest quality of safety and security assessors.

ACI World invites all members to participate in a review, benefiting not only the airports best interests but of the passenger’s.

No matter the size or complexity of an

airport, a peer review is an instrumen-tal component in ensuring the highest of standards are met.
