The aviation industry is an ecosystem and will need to recover in a balanced way which does not favour one part of the industry over another – we all need each other.ĪCI favours market-based solutions between airports and airlines considering the fact that both are interrelated businesses with shared risks. Do you see airports revising their charges being levied on airlines to help them stand up in the post COVID-19 environment? Listen to Angela’s industry briefing and hear ACI World’s most recent figures and data on how aviation should battle the COVID-19 crisis. While the airport operators will normally have the primary responsibility for emergencies, they should call upon and use the collective expertise and resources of all airport community partners for the benefit of all. Local, regional and national organisations and agencies – such as health providers, government agencies or emergency services providers – will also be involved in the response to any incident and must be factored into the development of the plan. This may also be the time to consider solutions for truly autonomous, hands-free passenger self-processing throughout the journey.Īirports must have an aerodrome emergency plan which establishes the guidelines for how major emergencies will be managed and defines the roles and responsibilities of the principal responding agencies or teams. Many different solutions are being deployed, and further work is required to determine the most efficient and effective best practices. Health screening and/or certification is likely to become the new normal. With respect to communicable diseases, ACI policy recommends that airports abide by international health regulations and include mitigation measures as part of their emergency preparedness. While we cannot predict exactly how emergencies will unfold, we can prepare for a diverse set of scenarios. What future measures can ACI suggest to fight this sort of pandemic condition? Therefore, post briefing, Angela exclusively answered some of the industry queries.
