The theme of this year’s ACI World Human Resources Forum was appropriately entitled “How good is your brand?” The focus was on how to retain and attract airport talent. The objective we had in mind was to share best practices in engaging members’
workforces while attracting future talent to ensure our ongoing success as an industry. This challenge is one that the ACI Regional HR Committees take seriously because the need for talent is growing. To this end, this year’s forum was developed
and presented by the leadership of the ACI Regional HR Committees:

Theresa Fleidl, Vice President, Professional Training Policy and Human Resources Marketing, Munich Airport

Jorge Luis Valdespino Rivera, Chief Human Resources Officer, Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacifico

Gilford Malenji, Director Human Resources, Zambia Airports Corporation Limited

Gale LaRoche, Vice President of Human Resources, Detroit Metropolitan Wayne
County Airport

Jeff Lindeman SPHR, Senior Director, Talent & Engagement, San Diego International Airport

Craig Shaw, Chief Operating Officer, Queensland Airport Services

World Human Resources Forum (continued)
The forum was moderated by Thella Bowens, President and CEO, San Diego
County Regional Airport Authority, who
was an excellent choice considering the
importance she places in talent as a CEO.
Ms. Bowens set the scene by underlining
challenges airports face in engaging and
attracting talent. This was followed by the
regional ACI Human Resources CommitGiven an overwhelming response on the part of delegates, work tees discussing leading HR practices in

driven information based on an airportspecific study by ACI EUROPE and a Gallup workforce study from 2013 illustrating
that there is still room for improvement in getting employees engaged.
Some of the findings related to airports found airport staff:
•
find their work challenging and interesting;
•
hold positive views about their employers; and
•
are generally engaged and committed;

but have some dissatisfaction where leadership, bureaucracy and efficiency are
concerned.
The main session was complimented by two workshops, the first on “Attracting Talent
– How to engage with the next generation of airport professionals,” and the second on
“Work life balance – How do employers take responsibility without taking on liability?”
The interactive workshops, led by facilitators who are experts in these areas, allowed
the 65 participants the opportunity to roll up their sleeves and discuss challenges and
best practices amongst their airport colleagues.
The key message coming out of the 2015 World Human Resources Forum was that if
we brand ourselves well as employers and take care of our talent, the payoff can
prove to be substantial in terms of long-term loyalty, engagement and productivity. All
agreed that if we do this poorly, the results can be devastating to our airports and
costly over many years to come.

look forward to seeing you all at next year’s World Human Resources Forum, taking
place in Montreal, Canada in September 2016 before the ACI-NA Annual Conference/
ACI World Annual General Assembly.

Group photo taken during the AMPAP graduation ceremony at WAGA in Panama City
The 2015 ACI Latin America-Caribbean/World Annual General Assembly, Conference
and Exhibition was held in Panama City from August 31–September 2, 2015.
Every year, ACI and ICAO jointly recognize the recent graduates of the Global ACIICAO Airport Management Professional Accreditation Programme (AMPAP). AMPAP
seeks to develop a new generation of airport leaders in all functional areas of the airport business and promotes adherence to the highest professional standards and the
effective sharing of best managerial practices, all in a cross-cultural, highly interactive
learning environment. Graduates of this joint partnership of ACI and ICAO have
earned the prestigious accreditation of International Airport Professionals, or IAPs.
In 2015, AMPAP had one of its biggest graduating classes of 120 graduates consisting
of 115 IAPs and 5 AMPAP Associate Diploma recipients. From this large worldwide
graduating class, 37 students were able to attend the graduation ceremony in Panama for formal recognition and acceptance of their diplomas.
We would like to extend our hearty congratulations to all graduates on this noteworthy
achievement. As stated by Angela Gittens, Director General, ACI World during the
commencement speech, “We welcome these graduates to a lifelong membership in
an international network of airport professionals, a community without borders.”

Session 2 of WAGA 2015, themed “Waves of the future,” featured panelists discussing
how airports will cater to an emerging group of air travelers, the generation of passengers that will be traveling for the next three to four decades.
The session began with moderator Lance Lyttle, Chief Operating Officer, Houston Airport System, an International Airport Professional, setting the scene on the opportunities we have as airports to continually refine our product offering to suit the needs of
our customers and stakeholders.
Lance handed the podium over to Alejandro Varela, Deputy Regional Director for the
Americas, World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), who provided some eye opening
trends on the growth of tourism along with the need for enhanced cooperation on facilitation for visas and liberalization as a means of allowing tourism to grow even more.
He noted that:

International tourist arrivals in 1950 were 50 million people, and in 2014 that number jumped to 1.13 billion people and is still growing. It is expecting to reach 1.8
billion by 2030.

World tourism represents 1 in every 11 jobs, accounting for 9% of global GDP,
and is one of the fastest growing economic sectors.

Conference Session 2: Waves of the future (continued)
The next speaker, Eric Lipp, Executive Director, Open Doors
Organization spoke about the economic impact that a specific travel group, passengers with reduced mobility (PRM),
bring to our airports. The data were based on their latest US
study, which found that 31% of adults with disabilities travel
by air, amounting to 11 million air travelers taking 23 million
air trips per year, generating nearly US$9 billion in spending.
These are some impressive numbers that clearly indicate we
need to ensure our facilities and IT solutions can make the
journey for a PRM an even more positive experience.
We were very fortunate to have our third speaker, Luiz Rocha, President, Rio Galeão – Tom Jobim International Airport,
which is seeing some impressive growth and at the same

year. To meet the needs of these current and future travelers
the airport is investing heavily in infrastructure developments including a subway line
to the airport and IT investments in airport beacons, automated apron control and automated passport control.
The final speaker, who is well known by all in the industry, was Catherine Mayer, Vice
President, SITA. She brought delegates along a very interesting journey on how technology has changed, and pointed out that computer power is doubling every 18
months. She highlighted how the next generations of customers can expect to be
transformed when using our airports and how bionic implants and wearable technology will change the travel experience. Tomorrow’s passenger, she said, will be even
more connected and will expect a personalized experience in our airports.
All speakers agreed that the future will be exciting and that the key to success will be
to know our customers by using technology, data and business intelligence to create
the ultimate airport experience.
Many thanks to Lance, our moderator, and our speakers, Alejandro, Eric, Luiz and
Catherine. I’d also like to thank Stephanie Lepage, International Airport Professional
from Aeroports de Montreal, who worked behind the scenes on organizing this thought
-provoking session.

Passengers with reduced mobility (PRM) - Meeting the needs
of a changing market
By Ann Fry – ACI Instructor
As many in the aviation world are already well aware, passenger
profiles are ever evolving as the world’s populations get older.
Between 2000 and 2050, the proportion of people in the world
aged over 60 will double from 11% to 22%. In addition to this,
there are also many people with disabilities. Approximately 15%
of the world's population, over 1 billion people, live with a disability. This figure too will increase in line with demographic trends
given the link between age and disability.
The introduction of legislation which entitles people with disabilities the right to expect high levels of accommodation and service in air travel is also
driving up passenger numbers. As such, airport managing bodies carry a heavy burden of responsibility to ensure that their facilities and services not only meet legal requirements, but also demonstrate best practice. Failure to deliver a timely and efficient
service can mean distress to passengers, as well as financial penalties and bad
press. Every airport managing body needs to have a clear understanding of its legal
responsibilities and how it intends to deliver them. Personnel working at every level
and in many different capacities must also be fully informed of what needs to be done.
ACI Global Training offers workshops to help airports get up to speed on all of these
complex issues and to ensure that they are providing the best possible service to this
large and growing passenger segment.
The workshops are designed for managers who implement and monitor the performance of their passenger assistance programmes at airports. For more details about
workshops, or to discuss your training needs, contact [email protected].

Disability sensitivity is the future, train for it today!
$US17.3 billion spent on disability travel in US annually.
Adults with disabilities spend on just their own travel—$17.3 billion annually in the US
alone, according to a new study by Open Doors Organization (ODO). Executive Director of ODO Eric Lipp presented the study to the ACI Annual General Assembly recently held in Panama, saying the data “shows that the disability travel market has a
greater impact than ever on the industry and the broader economy.”
ODO is a not-for-profit based in Chicago. Their mission is to create a society in which
“all persons with disabilities have the same consumer opportunities as everyone else.”
“In the past two years alone, more than 26 million adults with disabilities travelled for
pleasure and/or business, taking 73 million trips,” Lipp said.
Although conducted in the US, the study can be applied globally as over 15% of the
world’s population have some form of disability, according to the World Health Organisation.
ACI Online Learning Centre’s Disability Sensibility Training provides participants with
an increased awareness of a range of disabilities and educates them on how to respond appropriately.

ACI Airport User Charges Course Workshop in Panama City
By John Webster, Senior Manager, Global Training
The recent Airport User Charges Workshop, held in Panama City as part of the ACI Developing Nations
Airport (DNA) Assistance programme
The ACI Developing Nations Airport (DNA) Assistance programme, in close collaboration with Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), CIFAL and UNITAR,
launched a two-day course, Airport User Charges Workshop, from 3–4 September
2015 in Panama City, Panama. This course took place following the 2015 ACI Latin
America-Caribbean/World Annual General Assembly, Conference and Exhibition and
attracted 16 participants from host airport Tocumen International Airport, as well senior management officials from Anguilla, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Kenya, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Jamaica, and Trinidad and Tobago.
The workshop was conducted by ACI instructors Julian de la Camara Arilla and Dr.
Richard Sharp. Julian is a senior ACI facilitator who recently retired from his previous
post at the Economic Analysis and Policy Section at the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) in Montreal. As co-facilitator, Richard has 36 years of experience in
airport corporate strategy, airport economics and business planning, and is a Technical Director with ICF’s aviation team (formerly S H & E).
The purpose of this workshop was to review ICAO’s policies on airport charges, but
perhaps more importantly to see how the policies are used to establish and implement
user charges. This workshop represented an opportunity to review the standards and
recommended practices to establish user charges at airports, as well as analyze the
practical considerations in applying these policies.
16
ACI Global Training Newsletter - September 2015
ACI Airport User Charges Course Workshop in Panama City
(continued)
As there are many different ways of looking at airport charges, each airport faces situations and circumstances that dictate how to approach setting and implementing user
charges. This workshop sought to familiarize participants with established principles
that guide their decisions and actions in how to apply these charges.
The course was very successful and received positive feedback from the attendees.
Mr. Vanroy Hodge, Chief Executive Officer, Anguilla Air and Sea Ports Authority, remarked: “The ACI DNA Seminar: Airport User Charges that was held in Panama, September 2015 was extremely informative, and the information provided was very useful.
I was unaware of much of the concepts and dynamics regarding airport user charges
prior to the seminar, so the content and delivery was very beneficial. The facilitators
were very knowledgeable, both from a practical and theoretical perspective. I would
highly recommend attendance to ACI DNA Seminars to any organization based on the
relevance of the topics and look forward to applying the knowledge and information
gained from attending this DNA Seminar for the advancement of the Anguilla Air and
Sea Ports Authority.”
ACI would like to thank the participants for their attendance in Panama. Special appreciation must go to Mrs. Alrene Barr, Director, International Business at ATL, for the
airport’s unwavering support of the DNA programme. ACI would also like to thank the
facilitators for making this workshop such a great success, as well as ACI-LAC Director General Javier Martinez Botacio for supporting this seminar in his region.

GSN 3: Emergency Planning and Crisis Management
07–11 September 2015 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
By Issa Castro, Manager, Global Training
Photo: Group picture taken during the GSN 3 course in Kuala Lumpur from 07–11 September 2015
ACI recently delivered the Global Safety Network (GSN) 3: Emergency Crisis and
Planning Management training from 07–11 September 2015 at the Malaysia Airports
Training Centre in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. A total of 13 participants were in attendance from Bahrain Airport Company, Hamad International Airport, National Airports
Company, Tibah Airports Operation Co. Ltd. and Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad
(MAHB).
One of the six specialized safety courses that make up the GSN Diploma Programme,
this specific course aims to show the importance of planning for emergency situations
at the airport and how to manage activities while in crisis situations. ACI Instructors
Debbie Riley and Glenn Wheeler jointly delivered this training by demonstrating the
key roles required for emergency planning, sharing various case studies, and offering
tools and guidance on the implementation of emergency plans and procedures.
A highlight of the five-day training was the all-day tabletop exercise on Day 4 where
each participant had to simulate what they needed to do in the event of a crisis at the
airport. Just as integral to the all-day exercise was the debriefing and presentations
on Day 5 to recap the lessons learned. As always, this activity was found to be the
most enjoyable by all.

It was an amazing learning experience, I will absolutely recommend this programme
to my colleagues.” – Simon Yayun Lamadas, Airport Manager, Lahad Datu Airport
“The subjects discussed were timely, relevant and important, and were presented by
excellent trainers with in-depth knowledge and experience. The other participants

Being part of the GSN programme is a privilege, and the networking is one of the most important and memorable experiences the programme provides. I highly recommend this training to all safety personnel working within the aviation industry, as well as aviation managers across
the globe.” - Eng. Mohammed Raad, SMS Manager
“I found the GSN programme very interesting and challenging. I was introduced to aviation safety by very experienced instructors and now I am looking forward to using all
the knowledge I have gained and contributing in the SMS implementation in PMIA. I
would suggest the GSN programme to others and I aim to work towards receiving the
GSN Advanced Diploma in the very near future.” - Hassan Habib, SMS Specialist
“I really appreciate all the effort and knowledge ACI offers in the GSN programme.
When my manager told me about it, I felt joy and appreciation as I would receive training from one of the biggest aviation organizations in the industry. I highly recommend
this training to all safety personnel working within the aviation industry.” - Eng. Mohammad BaAboud, SMS Specialist
From Bahrain Airports Company:
“As a senior airside safety specialist, the GSN programme not only helped me to improve how I perform my duties, but I now also approach my work from a different and
much wider perspective now. Needless to say, my superiors are pleased and satisfied

with what I have accomplished as a result. I would say to those who are involved in
airside operations that if you get a chance to obtain GSN training then go for it. And
you can quote my words to your management, it is worth every dollar spent.” - Naser
Mohamed AlMannaei, Senior Officer - Airside Safety
From National Airport Corporation:
“The GSN programme has enabled me to expand my knowledge in aviation, especially in Safety. Being the first Papua New Guinean to receive this diploma is a great
achievement and milestone for my country. I will remember the procedures and best
practices for implementation purposes. This achievement will benefit me fully in my
career in the aviation industry. Yes, this is an excellent training programme and I recommend for it to be further implemented across the aviation industry.” - Shannelle
Dawana, Airside Operations Compliance (Safety & Maintenance)
