ACI World chair, Bongani Maseko, noted: “As the voice of the world's airports, ACI World is the only organisation that can bring together airports, large and small, from all regions to agree strong measures to address the issues that affect us all.

“I would like to thank ACI Member airports for their collective response and commitment to act on these pressing issues and I pledge airports to continue to approach our common industry concerns in the future in a collaborative and transparent manner."
