Airports Council International
Airports Council International is the association of the world’s airports. It is a non profit organisation, whose prime purpose is to advance the interests of airports and to promote professional excellence in airport management and operations. By fostering cooperation amongst airports, world aviation organisations and business partners, ACI makes a significant contribution to providing the travelling public with an air transport system that is safe, secure, efficient and environmentally responsible.

In 1991 airport operators around the world created Airports Council International – the first worldwide association to represent their common interests and foster cooperation with partners throughout the air transport industry. Through ACI, the airport community now speaks with a single voice on key issues and concerns and, despite regional diversity, can move forward as a united industry.
ACI pursues airports interests in discussions with international organisations. The most important relationship is with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), where international standards for air transport are debated and developed. ACI defends airports positions and develops standards and recommended practices in the areas of safety, security and environment initiatives. It also advances and protects airport interests in important policy changes on airport charges and regulation, strengthening the hand of airports in dealing with airlines.
At the same time, ACI provides the platform for pursuing a constructive and cooperative relationship with the airline associations, governments and regulators. On critical industry issues – liberalisation, ownership, capacity planning, regulatory restrictions, and environmental action – ACI defends airports views and strengthens their ability to shape the future of our industry, backing up individual airport actions.
ACI offers its members numerous training opportunities, a customer service benchmarking programme, detailed industry statistical analyses and practical publications.
As the international association of the worlds’ commercial service airports, ACI represents the collective positions of its membership, which are established through committees and endorsed by the ACI Governing Board. These views reflect the common interests of the global airports community.
In carrying out this work, ACI organisational goals can be summarised as follows:
- Maximise the contributions of airports to maintaining and developing a safe, secure, environmentally compatible and efficient air transport system.
- Achieve cooperation among all segments of the aviation industry and their stakeholders as well as with governments and international organisations.
- Influence international and national legislation, rules, policies, standards and practices based on established policies representing airports’ interests and priorities.
- Advance the development of the aviation system by enhancing public awareness of the economic and social importance of airport development.
- Maximise cooperation and mutual assistance among airports.
- Provide members with industry knowledge, advice and assistance, and foster professional excellence in airport management and operations.
- Build ACI’s worldwide organisational capacity and resources to serve all members effectively and efficiently.
