Description:

ACI-NA advocates policies and provides services that strengthen the ability of commercial airports to serve their passengers, customers and communities. ACI-NA professional staff in the government affairs, legal, environment, safety, security, operations and technical departments, works to ensure that legislation and regulations enacted in Washington, D.C., and Ottawa, help airports operate more safely and efficiently. America’s airports face unprecedented challenges meeting their $128 billion in infrastructure needs. America’s airports are powerful engines for economic opportunity in local communities, generating more than $1.1 trillion in annual economic activity and supporting nearly 10 million jobs.  While passenger traffic through airport facilities continues to grow a record pace, our outdated aviation infrastructure cannot keep pace with this overwhelming demand. As the connection point between passengers and the sky, airports serve a vital role in fostering competition and providing passengers with the price and service options they demand.  Through that important work, airports emerge as powerful engines of economic growth for local communities. Airports operate in an uncertain landscape filled with evolving requirements to address concerns about ever-changing global aviation security threats. Maintaining the safety and security of the traveling public is a responsibility that is shared by airports, airlines, airport partners, federal government agencies, law enforcement, and the traveling public. Airports are highly regulated enterprises, and those regulations can place unfair or unnecessary burdens on airports. Airports are responsible stewards of the environment, including noise concerns and deicing processes. An airport’s ability to maintain safety, security, and environmental challenges promotes efficient airport operations and reduced flight delays. We remain fully committed to the efficient movement of passengers through the airport. Airports want the same thing their passengers want: a hassle-free travel experience with excellent price and service competition.  In addition to modernizing our aging infrastructure with more comfortable and hassle-free terminals, we continue to work with our security agency partners to ensure passengers aren’t standing in long lines to get through our airports. Our research and resources help members stay ahead of the curve and better serve their passengers, customers and communities. See All Intelligence Industry Benchmarking Studies We’ve compiled data on airport traffic, amenities and services, as well as information on key issues and policies. Airport Infrastructure Needs Our Airport Infrastructure Needs Survey estimates capital development costs for the airports that comprise the United States national airport system, defined by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Economic Impact Studies The study, which summarizes the economic benefits that the 493 commercial airports in the U.S. make to the national economy, found the total economic output now exceeds $1.4 trillion, supporting more than 11.5 million jobs with a payroll of more than $428 billion. Ensuring the health, safety, and security of the travelling public and airport workers is always an airport’s top priority. As such, North American airports responded quickly to help contain the spread of COVID-19. Airports continue to take aggressive steps to protect everyone traveling through their facilities and their employees. ACI-NA has established the Airport Industry Recovery Advisory Panel to support and the broader industry in recovery.
