The Green Airports Recognition (GAR) was established by ACI Asia-Pacific and Middle East with the support of the ACI Asia-Pacific Regional Environment Committee. The Recognition’s objective is to promote environmental best practices to minimise aviation’s impacts on the environment and to recognise ACI Asia-Pacific and Middle East airport members who have outstanding accomplishments in their environmental projects.  This publication acknowledges airports from Asia-Pacific and the Middle East that participated in the campaign this year and shared their successful path towards eradicating single-use plastic.

The Year in Review 2022 reflects our accomplishments; our engagement with members, regulators and stakeholders across our region advocating for policies that strengthen our members' ability to serve efficiently as well as promote professional excellence in airport management and operation.

This guidance document lays out the project development process as a series of tasks namely; demand estimation, site selection, technology evaluation and plant design, financial viability assessment, selection of developer/supplier, plant construction, plant commissioning and operation & maintenance. Some project development activities may happen in parallel. It is up to the individual airports to oversee the activities and ensure they are coordinated and synchronised appropriately to achieve the desired outcome.

The Airport Industry Outlook (Asia-Pacific and the Middle East) for the fourth quarter of 2022 (October to December), examines the latest data affecting air traffic and airport performance: recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, relaxation of travel restrictions, and the latest IMF World Economic Outlook updates.

The purpose of this document is to provide airports, especially those with little means to procure and operate a sophisticated automatic lightning detection system, with simple guidelines on developing their own procedures on the suspension and resumption of aerodrome operations in the event of thunderstorms.

The idea of drafting guidance on aerodrome operational manning requirements was mooted at the 23rd meeting of the ACI Asia-Pacific Regional Operational Safety Committee held in Hong Kong in April 2019. The motive was to suggest a methodology with some scientific basis for airport operators to estimate and justify manpower requirements.
