Safety >>back to top ACI Sets Sights on Safety Targets Under New Committee Leadership About 23 million aircraft landed and took off safely without incident at airports in Asia-Pacific and the Middle East last year. Such miraculous performance, often taken for granted, did not happen by chance but rightly by design with carefully coordinated and continuous efforts paid by thousands of airport safety managers and workers.
One of the many groups of aviation professionals in this international community ensuring that every passenger returns home safe is the ACI Asia-Pacific Regional Operational Safety Committee, a standing body of voluntary safety managers created under the visionary ACI Asia-Pacific Regional Board in 2008.
The Committee meets twice a year and its 18th meeting was generously hosted by one of its members, Dubai Airports, from 5 - 6 October 2016. The meeting elected Mr. Rajasundaram Chidambararaman (Bangalore) as Vice Chair for a term of two years to fill in a vacancy left by Mr. Cheng Ling Perng (Malaysia) who had been promoted to Chair of the Committee earlier this year. The Committee had started a pilot project to collect safety data amongst committee members in April 2016. In Dubai they critically reviewed and analyzed the data collected, determined that it was a useful exercise and decided to encourage more Committee members to join the data sharing program by giving non-participants next year the data summary, currently only available to participant members. The Committee also agreed upon a concrete work plan to improve safety with the data. Planned actions agreed so far include the establishment of regional safety targets and the refinement of data collection method to facilitate the identification of root causes of accidents and incidents.
Another key area that the 18th meeting worked on was the drafting of safety guidance materials. The Committee had drawn up a list of priority topics at the 17th meeting last April. On the top of the list was a compendium of safety promotional materials, such as posters, aimed at helping ACI members in designing their own communication kit to raise awareness of the importance of safety amongst airport workers. In Dubai the Committee reviewed a draft of the compendium and with some final touch ups, the handbook is expected to be published in the first half of 2017 via ACI Asia-Pacific newsletters. The next topic on guidance materials that the Committee will work on is a check list that ACI members can adapt for their use when a substantial change to airport operations or infrastructure is made to ensure that safety will not be compromised, often in an inadvertent way in a complex operational environment involving a multitude of players such as the airport.

The 18th ACI Asia-Pacific Regional Operational Safety Meeting in Dubai, October 2016.
ACI a Trusted Partner at ICAO ACI has been participating in ICAO safety meetings in both the Asia-Pacific and Middle East regions to ensure views of airport operators are heard when policies and plans are drafted by regulators. For example the ACI safety committee drew up a list of challenges that airports faced in the implementation of safety management system. The list was shared with an ICAO regional working group (Note 1) and this promotes the mutual understanding between aviation regulators and airports and hopefully will help remove the obstacles in furthering safety management.
This year ACI Asia-Pacific participated in three working level ICAO regional meetings (Note 2) and three senior level meetings (Note 3). The working groups establish detailed safety measures for implementation by States and their airlines and airports whereas the senior level groups focus on high level safety targets. To raise the awareness of the importance of safety culture, ACI presented the findings of a survey on airport workers view on the subject to an ICAO high level group (Note 4) in May 2016.
Because of its role as the only representative body of airport operators at ICAO, ACI was been invited to join ICAO Asia-Pacific small working group (Note 5) to help draft competency requirements for airfield workers. These reference requirements are aimed at providing guidance to airports in the recruitment of airfield workers.

APEX in Safety Gaining Momentum in Asia-Pacific Since the launch of the program in 2012, ACI’s APEX in Safety team has visited more than 60 airports worldwide. This year the ACI APEX in Safety team conducted safety reviews in China, Indonesia and Qatar. One of the visits was to follow up, at the invitation of the airport concerned, on the progress on the safety recommendations that the ACI APEX team made a few years ago. The openness of the host airport in sharing their progress is an evidence of the confidence in the APEX in Safety program has built amongst ACI members.
Year 2017 promises to be another busy year for the ACI APEX in Safety team. A number of members have invited ACI to conduct a safety review at their airports next year. If you are interested in having a review conducted at your airport or sending your staff to ACI as a safety assessor, please contact SL Wong at [email protected]. You may also contact him on any inquiries related to safety in general.
Security >>back to top
ACI Represents Airports’ Interest at ICAO Security Forum ACI has always been actively involved in ICAO security events. This year, ACI took part in the 4th ICAO Regional Aviation Security Coordination Forum (RASCF/4), which is an annual aviation security event for civil aviation regulators of the States in Asia-Pacific and industry partners. The Forum was held on 1-2 August 2016 in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
The Forum was attended by 79 participants from 29 States/Administrations and 4 security industry partners. Mr. Hugo Porter, from Civil Aviation authority of New Zealand, acted as the Chairman, and Mr. Ross Lockie, ICAO Regional Officer for Aviation Security, acted as the Secretary to the Forum. Opening remarks was delivered by Mr. Boubacar Djibo, Director of Air Transport Bureau of ICAO.
With the theme of “security is everybody’s responsibility”, some of the key issues discussed during the two-day Forum included:
• Implementation of ICAO Standards & Capacity Building in APAC • Response to new and emerging threats • Security and facilitation
ACI submitted a paper on promoting APEX in Security, which raised great interest among the Forum participants. Two pilot reviews were recently completed in Indonesia in November 2016. More details can be referred to in the later section.
The next Forum will likely to be held in May or June 2017 in Bangkok, Thailand. ACI will further discuss with the members of the Regional Aviation Security Committee (RASC) on what ACI should advocate on at the next meeting.
The 4th ICAO RASCF was held on 1-2 August 2016 in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
ACI and IATA Collaborate to Deliver Smart Security Smart Security is a joint ACI-IATA initiative with a common and clear vision to improve the effectiveness and convenience of airport security processes. There are three major elements of Smart Security: Strengthen Security, Increase Operational Efficiency and Improve Passenger Experience.
In October 2015, Smart Security Opportunity Assessment (SSOA) was launched to provide airports with on-site assessment and provide tailor-made recommendations on their security and operational processes based on Smart Security concepts. The SSOA is mainly geared to airports with a keen interest in security innovation, particularly if they face challenges in their current environment or are developing or revamping a terminal or security checkpoint.
A number of SSOAs were completed in Asia-Pacific this year, including Japan and Thailand.
Annual Security Summit Calls for Risk-based Approach to Landside Security and Other Emerging Threats AVSEC World is an annual security summit, which unites professionals in the security sphere and serves as a platform to discuss current issues and actions to be taken to manage risks in the aviation industry today.
Jointly organized by ACI, IATA and ICAO, the 25th AVSEC World was held on 25-27 October 2016. The summit attracted more than 450 delegates from airlines, airports, government agencies and equipment and technology manufacturers. The theme this year was “addressing evolving aviation security risks with integrated solutions”.
ACI Asia-Pacific Technical Bulletin Page 7
Opening remarks were delivered by Angela Gittens (Director General of ACI World), Dr. Fang Liu (Secretary General, ICAO) and Alexandre de Juniac (Director General and CEO of IATA), followed by a series of panel discussions and workshops over the three-day Conference.
Some of the hot topics that were widely discussed at the Conference include the following:
Landside Security The terrorist attacks at Istanbul and Brussels airports have exposed the vulnerability of landside areas and galvanized airports, governments and international regulators worldwide to examine the need to enhance landside security. It was repeatedly emphasized during the Conference that landside security measures should be based on risk and vulnerability assessment for the particular country or airport. There is no “one-size-fits-all” solution to landside area protection.
Global Aviation Security Plan (GASeP) At the Conference, ICAO put forward a timeline for the development of GASeP, which is a global plan that helps States to enhance aviation security through setting strategic goals and targets in six key areas (people, efficiency, innovation, manage risk, cooperation and risk mitigation measures). ICAO will work on drafting the plan over the next three years and will involve a wide spectrum of stakeholders in the development process, including ACI. GASeP is expected to be officially adopted at the 40th ICAO Assembly in 2019.
Other discussion topics included United Nations Resolution 2309, cyber security, security culture, security technology of the future, role of social media in security and more. The 26th AVSEC World will be held at Abu Dhabi, UAE on 14-16 November 2017.
Angela Gittens, Director General of ACI World, delivered her opening remarks at the 25th AVSEC World.

APEX in Security Pilots Successfully Conducted in Indonesia Following the first APEX in Security pilot review in Mauritius in April 2016, two more pilot reviews have been successfully conducted in Indonesia at the airports in Denpasar, Bali (31 October – 4 November 2016) and Balikpapan (7 – 11 November 2016). APEX in Security is a peer review programme that aims to help the host airport improve security by offering advices on best practices and identifying areas for improvement. APEX in Security has received strong support from ICAO. ICAO signed an MOU with ACI in February 2016 to pledge their support to the programme by working together to deliver security reviews, offer technical assistance, develop programmes for airport personnel training and enhance regional partnerships.
The review team for the two pilots in Indonesia included representatives from ACI, Aéroports de Montréal, Airports of Mauritius Co. Ltd, Budapest Airport, Dublin Airport Authority International, Greater Toronto Airports Authority and the Office of Transport Security of Australia.
If your airport is interested in hosting an APEX in Security review, or joining the review team, please contact SL Wong, at [email protected].
Two APEX in Security pilot reviews were conducted in Indonesia in November 2016.
Security Committee Meeting Held in Kuala Lumpur The 19th Regional Aviation Security Committee (RASC) meeting was held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on 22 - 23 October 2016. Thirteen members and observers from ten airports attended the meeting where the Committee discussed the region’s work on mitigating current and emerging threats, capacity building, engagement with ICAO/other industry partners and shared the latest developments on aviation security at their airports. Also, the meeting concluded that ACI Asia-Pacific should be actively involved in the development of the new ICAO Global Aviation Security Plan and the Committee should give full support to APEX in Security. In addition, the Committee agreed on the priorities to be included in the new biennial work plan for 2017 to 2018. Many Committee members took the opportunity to speak and attend the AVSEC World conference held from 25 - 27 October in the same venue.
The 20th RASC meeting will be held in Doha, Qatar on 13-14 April 2017, following the 12th ACI Asia-Pacific Regional Assembly.

Environment >>back to top ACI Asia-Pacific Regional Environment Committee Meeting, Dubai
The 7th ACI Asia-Pacific Regional Environment Committee meeting was kindly hosted by Dubai Airports on 5-6 October 2016 in Dubai, UAE. The Regional Environment Committee (REC) meeting focused on the review of strategic plan for the Committee. It agreed on the formation of a Strategic Plan Working Group for the preparation of a draft strategic plan covering the next three years work of the REC in line with the environmental and sustainability sections of the draft ACI Asia-Pacific Business Plan 2018-2020. The meeting also examined the possibility to form various working groups to cover areas in Airport Carbon Accreditation, Solar energy, Aircraft Noise and Climate Change Adaptation.
ACI Asia-Pacific Technical Bulletin Page 10
There were best practices sharing presentations from Adelaide Airport, Airbiz Aviation Strategies Ltd., Airport Authority Hong Kong, Airports of Thailand, Brisbane Airport Corporation PTY Limited, Delhi International Airport (P) Limited and Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad on Climate Change Adaptation, Energy Management, environmental benchmarking, Airport Carbon Accreditation and Science Based Targets.
The ACI Asia-Pacific Environmental Survey 2015 Report has been distributed to participating airports in July 2016. A total of 39 airports participated in the survey, which covered 30% of Asia-Pacific traffic. This report enabled airports to assess the current environment situation in the region and help them design and implement environmental initiatives to improve their airport’s environmental management in the future. An extracted summary report can be downloaded here.
To supplement the success of Environmental Survey, the REC has approved the “Green Airports Recognition 2017”, which is now open for application. The objective of the Green Airports Recognition is to promote environmental best practices to minimize aviation’s impact on the environment and to recognize ACI Asia-Pacific airports members who have outstanding accomplishments in their environmental projects. Understanding that different airports have different environmental priorities, each year, there will be a specific environmental aspect chosen as theme of Recognition. This year’s theme is Energy Management. For more information about Green Airports Recognition 2017, please visit here.
Cabin waste is one of the main environmental issues for airports and airlines. ACI Asia-Pacific has worked closely with IATA and ACI World in developing a guidance document to help airports and airlines to address this issue. The document was distributed to ACI members in November 2016.
The REC has completed the election of Committee leaderships for 2017-2018 with Mr. Jakrapop Charatsri of Airports of Thailand Public Company Limited elected as Chair and Ms. Wendy Weir of Brisbane Airport Corporation Pty Ltd elected as Vice Chair. For more information about the Committee and its initiatives, please visit this link or contact Ken Lau at [email protected].
Following the agreement in October at the ICAO 39th Assembly by ICAO Member States to adopt the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) as the Market Based Measure to address CO2 emissions, ICAO Council President Dr Olumuyiwa Benard Aliu presented at the 22nd Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Marrakech to promote the success of the Scheme.
CORSIA will consist of a global offsetting scheme to be applied to international aviation in several phases:
• 2021 to 2023 – a ‘pilot’ voluntary phase of States which choose to be part of the scheme. (Scheme review in 2022)
• 2024 to 2026 – the first implementation phase, also on a voluntary basis. • 2027 to 2035 – the second phase, which will include most States except least developed, small island states
and countries with a small amount of international air traffic (less than 0.5% of global traffic). This second phase has triennial technical adjustments to the distribution of obligations between individual airlines, moving from a collective approach towards an individual approach.
Since 2010, ICAO has been pursuing the goals for a recurring two per cent annual fuel efficiency improvements and carbon neutral growth from 2020. CORSIA is one element of ICAO’s “basket of measures” to achieve these goals. These measures cover three other approaches, namely new and innovative aircraft technologies, operational improvements to reduce aircraft fuel burn, the development and wider deployment and use of sustainable alternative fuels. The next steps for ICAO is to develop necessary ICAO Standards and provisions, guidance for a robust monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) system, eligibility criteria for emissions units to be purchased by airlines, and the CORSIA’s registry architecture. The ICAO's 39th Assembly also welcomed the development of the world’s very first CO2 emissions standard. It will become applicable to most classes of new commercial aircraft entering service as of 2020. ACI supports CORSIA as a single Global Market Based Measure for international aviation through global partnership. As an integral part of the aviation industry, airports climate change issue through Airport Carbon Accreditation, with 177 certified airports, including 27 achieving carbon neutrality. The Programme has been recognised by ICAO and by the UNFCCC and we are proud to be part of the solution to this global problem.

In year 2015-2016, the accredited airports in our region have the absolute Scope 1 & 2 emissions reduction of 41,038 tonnes of CO2. It is worth celebrating that ACI Asia-Pacific now has two airports which have achieved the highest level of accreditation, Level 3+ Neutrality! Indira Gandhi International Airport in September and Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in December! They have gone one step further - offset their residual emissions under the airports’ control. Very well done!

ACI Asia-Pacific in Eco-Airport Workshop, Indonesia On 5-6 September 2016, the Eco-Airport Workshop was organized by International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Technical Cooperation Bureau (TCB) and hosted by PT Angkasa Pura I in Denpasar, Indonesia. The workshop was attended by about 50 delegates from DGCA Indonesia, PT Angkasa Pura I, PT Angkasa Pura II airports directors and managers and other airports and environmental stakeholders. The Workshop began by outlining the situation of global aviation climate change mitigation and updates on the progress of Eco-Airport action plan implementation in Indonesia, which include renewable energy, plantation of trees, replacement of fossil fuel cars and Ground Support Equipment and LED installation. ACI Asia-Pacific presented “ACI’s GHG management initiatives” and provided an Airport Carbon and Emissions Reporting Tool (ACERT) tutorial to the audience, which was considered very useful references for the Indonesian Eco-Airport action plan.
Information Technology >>back to top ACRIS Work Group Meeting, Amsterdam
The ACI Airport Community Recommended Information Services (ACRIS) Work Group meeting was held on 9-11 November 2016 in Amsterdam. It was attended by about 40 participants, with representation from IATA, Eurocontrol, European airports, airlines, ACI IT WBP, Doha and Changi airports.
The meeting commenced with a Biometric Workshop where airports shared their progress on Biometric trials and plans. The Aruba Happy flow trial was also featured and discussed. It was agreed that the use of biometric has great potential in drastically improving passenger experience by only carrying out passport and boarding pass check once throughout the whole airport journey. There was also a technical visit to the Schiphol test lab with demonstration of biometric passenger processing pilot consoles.
The rest of the meeting consisted of updates in ACRIS projects namely A-CDM common situation awareness, Asset Management, Seamless Travel (web service that provide information and different services to passengers through application such as a mobile phone app), Airport Map Indoor Localization and Sematic model (a data naming definition database that standardize IT terms and parameters for airport projects). For more information about ACRIS, please contact Ken Lau at [email protected]. ACI Asia-Pacific Presented at Technovation Conference 2016, Hong Kong
The Technovation Conference 2016 was organized by the Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK) on 2 November 2016 with the aim to continuously improve operational efficiency and the passenger experiences at Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA), The event attracted over 700 delegates mainly from local aviation stakeholders, academics and IT companies.
ACI Asia-Pacific moderated a session titled “Transformation of Passenger Experience via Technology”, which showcased the work of ACI Airport Community Recommended Information Services (ACRIS) and latest Airport IT Trend Survey results that facilitated discussion in the important innovative technology to improve passenger experiences. The panel with representatives from Hong Kong, Heathrow, Frankfurt and Toronto Pearson exchanged and discussed ways to improve passenger experiences through technology and agreed upon the needs of technology and the importance of common standard and collaboration among airports.
Other sessions focused on robotic applications in airports, advancement in robotics and artificial intelligence.

ACI Airport IT Security Benchmarking Tool
With the increased use and presence of technology within our industry, cybersecurity has become a key priority for all airports.
ACI World Airport IT Standing Committee took the lead to develop an Airport IT Security Benchmarking Tool. This new tool offers airports the possibility to compare themselves with others in terms of their level of IT protection, a way to prioritise improvement initiatives and is based on the most recent ISO security standard.
The tool offers two main features:
• Risk assessment
o The assessment consists of 106 questions which covers different control areas.
o Once an assessment is completed by an airport, the IT Security Benchmarking Tool will provide a summary score for each of control areas, plus an over-all score for the airport.
• Benchmarking
o The concept behind the benchmarking tool is to be able to compare an airport assessment to any other airport in the system or a set of airports filtered by region, country and demographic categories. The benchmarking tool could be run against all airports or specific airports.
The yearly subscription cost is $12,000 USD, but ACI will offer a 50% discount for 2017 to all airports signing before the end of 2016. If you are interested, please contact Mr. Serge Yonke, ACI World Senior Manager, Facilitation and IT at [email protected]
Airport’s Corner >>back to top Adelaide Airport LED Journey LED technology has fast become a proven and reliable replacement for interior, landside and airfield lighting. It has become a preferred option at Adelaide Airport for select lighting upgrades, not only as a way of achieving carbon reduction targets, but to enhance aviation safety and operational efficiency outcomes, as well as overcome increasing problems in sourcing conventional luminaires and parts in a rapidly evolving industry.
In 2015, Adelaide Airport became the first airport in Australia to be recognised by the global Airport Carbon Accreditation program for optimising its management and reduction of carbon emissions.
Adelaide Airport Ltd (AAL) is now certified as Airport Carbon Accredited at Level 3 (‘Optimisation’), for its work in reducing its carbon footprint whilst also working to guide and influence stakeholders to do the same. We are just the tenth airport in the Asia-Pacific region to reach this level.
Adelaide Airport serves as the gateway to the state of South Australia. It caters for close to 8 million domestic and international passengers a year.
AAL considers sustainability as a key corporate pillar, with particular focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Over the past five years AAL has reduced per passenger electricity consumption in Terminal 1 by 10% and overall per passenger greenhouse gas emissions by 17%. Our transition to LED lighting will continue to be a focal point in this journey.
Apron Flood Lighting
Installed LED fittings for the first time at the new state-of-the art Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) aeromedical facility - The new parking apron is to be flood lit to a minimum 10 lux of horizontal illumination. Lighting analysis revealed that only 12 LED floodlight luminaries were required over the same number and height of poles to replace14 High pressure sodium (HPS) over the same number and height of poles. The financial business case was successful due to the energy efficiency and longer life of LED lamps, and the reduced capital cost for static poles in place of power lift poles.
ACI Asia-Pacific Technical Bulletin Page 17
Taxiway Lights
Replaced all halogen Crouse Hinds L850 inset taxiway lights with LED fittings - The financial business case was developed with consideration given to initial capital expenditure, ongoing maintenance and electricity consumption. Based on 10 years scenario with reduced electricity use, lower ongoing maintenance costs and the capacity for new LED fittings to utilise existing regulators and 45 watt transformers, the lifecycle cost was calculated to be 65% of an alternative halogen option.
Other Lighting
Adelaide Airport is continuing to roll out a program to progressively transition to LED for other airfield, terminal and general flood lighting requirements.
Not every LED lighting replacement option comes with a financial business case that achieves standard corporate hurdle rates. Importance placed on other considerations such as aviation operational safety, workplace health and safety, reliability, improved security, enhanced wayfinding, general risk management and compliance – combined with lifecycle cost savings – support a change to LED.
It is important to note, however, that LED replacement constitutes one part of a wider lighting efficiency program that includes de-lamping fluorescent light fittings (whilst still continuing to exceed minimum lux standards), re-programming lighting schedules, maximising use of natural light in office buildings and staff education.
However, where there is a practical opportunity and lifecycle cost advantage to transition to LED, there are many positive outcomes to be gained.
