Background and Objective
ACI Asia-Pacific recognizes the importance and increasing need for airport staff training and knowledge exchange amongst airports in the fastest growing region, Asia-Pacific. ACI Global Training, in cooperation with the Regional Office has set up various courses to train and develop airport staff and management talents in order to meet tomorrow’s challenges.
The Small Airports Program - Financial Assistance for Training aims to assist airport members which are small in size with limited budget to attend valuable training and encourage exchanges amongst airports in the region.
Types of Training Eligible for Financial Assistance

The financial assistance will subsidize the air fare, accommodation and course expenses for any ACI training course held in any ACI Training Centers in Asia-Pacific region up to US$3,000 per person. The cost of air fare, accommodation and course expenses must be pre-approved by the Regional Office before actual booking. A maximum of four persons will be entitled to the financial assistance each year.
