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 3 ACI Global Training Newsletter - September 2015 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 is already underway preparing the 2016 ACI World Human Re- their regions. They provided various datasources Forum, set for September in Montreal, Canada 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. 4 ACI Global Training Newsletter - September 2015 World Human Resources Forum (continued) Lastly, many thanks to all who attended and to our leadership experts, Thella, Theresa, Gale, Jorge, Gilford and Jeff, for sharing their experiences with the members. We 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. 5 ACI Global Training Newsletter - September 2015 AMPAP Graduates – 2015 By John Webster, Senior Manager, Global Training 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.” 6 ACI Global Training Newsletter - September 2015 AMPAP Graduates – 2015 (continued) Congratulations!

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. 11 ACI Global Training Newsletter - September 2015 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 Photo: Eric Lipp, Executive Director, Open Doors Organization time is getting ready to host some major events—the 2016 spoke about the economic impact Olympic and Para Olympic Games. Notably, by 2039 the airthat passengers with reduced moport is expecting to welcome some 80 million passengers per bility bring to our airports. 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. 12 ACI Global Training Newsletter - September 2015 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.

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. 14 ACI Global Training Newsletter - September 2015 Disability sensitivity is the future, train for it today! (Continued) The course covers various methods of communication with people with hearing loss, vision loss, speech disabilities and cognitive disabilities, as well as those with service animals.

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.

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. 20 ACI Global Training Newsletter - September 2015 GSN 3: Emergency Planning and Crisis Management 07–11 September 2015 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (continued) It was a successful training week with all participants receiving their Certificates of Completion on the last day.
