World Airports Executives Gathered at Buenos Aires Conference

Over 450 executives from the world’s airports huddled in Buenos Aires this weekend to attend the Airports Council International world annual assembly from November 5 to 7.

This year, the world assembly was held in conjunction with the ACI Latin America and Caribbean annual regional conference.

The conference was hosted by Argentinean airport operator Aeropuertos Argentina 2000. An exhibition that ran alongside the conference showcased airport technologies. Airport CEOs, board members and senior managers joined other leaders from the aviation industry to discuss issues of importance for the industry.

This year, the focus was on leadership and the importance of good management for running an efficient airport, with discussions on effective leadership, sustainable growth and the environment, the state of the industry and a focus on the future of aviation in the Latin American region.

ACI Director General, Robert J Aaronson, said that the annual event is an opportunity for airport executives to meet and take stock of the changes occurring in the industry, “With globalization, international organizations take on a greater role and importance –particularly in an industry like commercial aviation whose many parts must work effectively in concert to serve air transport consumers,” he pointed out.
