Message from the Director General

The outbreak of the new influenza virus A H1N1 dominated the news at the end of April Its emergence provided some key lessons The first is the importance of contingency planning and emergency preparedness within our overall commitment to safety and security Each of you should have the latest updated version of the ldquoAirport Preparednessrdquo document if not it is available for download from our website Please do not hesitate to contact the ACI World or ACI Regional offices for assistance or further guidance The second is that the best response is a global response that offers consistent and appropriate measures that can be implemented across the worldwide airport network ACI World works regularly with the World Health Organization (WHO) and this strong relationship has been beneficial in providing a rapid response and information to our members We are able to concentrate on factual medical information and practical guidance that reflects the reality of medical findings Thirdly this experience gives all of us a reminder of the power of public perception Although the WHO did not at any time call for travel restrictions the flames of public fear were fanned by incomplete and inaccurate reporting We can help by making sure we communicate the facts to our customers keeping a calm voice in a storm of public reaction and working closely with local health authorities and our aviation partners to convey an accurate message to the public and the press The positive news from WHO as of 5 May is that although cases of Influenza A (H1N1) have now been reported in 20 countries in general those people who have contracted the illness are recovering quickly and there has only been one recorded death outside of Mexico ACI will continue to keep you informed on any developments and further advice from WHO over the next weeks and in this report you will find the link to the most recent Member Bulletin posted on the ACI website

ACI World at ICAOThe International Civil Aviation Organization is a specialised agency of the United Nations and was created with the signing in Chicago in 1944 of the Convention on International Civil Aviation ICAO is the permanent body charged with the administration of the principles laid out in the Convention It sets the standards for aviation safety security efficiency and regularity as well as for aviation environmental protection and encourages their implementation ICAOrsquos membership comprises 189 contracting States Its HQ is in Montreal and it has regional offices in Bangkok Cairo Dakar Lima Mexico City Nairobi and Paris

What it doesThe aims and objectives of ICAO as outlined in Article 44 of the convention are to develop the principles and techniques of international air navigation and to foster the planning and development of international air transport It has 9 key focus areas including the following bull To ensure the safe and orderly growth of international civil aviationbull Encourage the development of airways airports and air navigation facilities for international civil aviationbull Meet the needs of the peoples of the world for safe regular efficient and economical air transportThe organisation has a sovereign body the Assembly and a governing body the Council The Chief Officers are the President of the Council and the Secretary General

The Assembly is composed of representatives from all Contracting States It meets every three years reviewing in detail the work of the Organization and setting policy for the coming years

The Council Is composed of representatives from 36 States elected by the Assembly for a 3 year term It adopts standards and recommended practices (SARPs) concerning safety air navigation procedures prevention of unlawful interference facilitation of border-crossing procedures for international civil aviation In addition ICAO defines the protocols for air accident investigation followed by transport safety authorities in countries signatory to the Convention on International Civil Aviation The Council is assisted by the Air Navigation Commission (safety operational and technical matters) the Air Transport Committee (economic matters) the Committee on Joint Support of Air Navigation Services the Committee on Unlawful Interference the Technical Cooperation Committee and the Finance Committee

The Secretariat headed by the Secretary General has five main divisions the Air Navigation Bureau the Air Transport Bureau the Technical Co-operation Bureau the Legal Bureau and the Bureau of Administration and Services

What is Annex 14 SARPS for Aerodromes were first adopted in May 1951 pursuant to the provisions of Article 37 of the Chicago Convention The Annex has gone through many amendments since then most recently in 2008 This Annex contains SARPs that prescribe the physical characteristics and obstacle limitation surfaces to be provided for all aerodromes and certain facilities and technical matters

Bostonrsquos Logan International Airport

In 1990 after 39 amendments the Annex was split into two volumes Volume I dealing with aerodrome design and operations and Volume II dealing with heliport design Annex 14 Volume I covers Certification of aerodromes and safety management airport design and reference codes aerodrome data physical characteristics (design dimensions etc) obstacles visual aids (markings lighting signs etc) electrical systems operational services including emergency planning and maintenance

The Annex does not include specifications relating the overall planning of aerodromes or to economic and other non-technical factors that need to be considered in the development of an aerodrome These subjects are included in the Airport Planning Manual ndash Part 1 Aviation security is of course an integral part of aerodrome planning and operations The Annex contains several specifications aimed at enhancing the level of security at Aerodromes Specification on other facilities related to security are given in annex 17 and guidance can be found in the ICAO security manual

Bostonrsquos Logan International Airport

ICAO Council and Air Navigation Commission (ANC)In March 2009 the ICAO Council adopted a large number of amendments presented by the ANC including Amendments 4 and 10 to the two volumes of Annex 14 (published in early April)

Annex 14 amendmentsbull Design and operation of Aerodromes bull Definition of instrument runway consequential on amendment to Annex 6bull Harmonisation with other annexes of provisions relating to safety managementbull Public health emergencies in aerodrome emergency planning bull Enhanced taxiway centre line markings in the proximity of a runway-holding position at each taxiwayrunway intersection These should help prevent runway incursionsbull New mandatory instruction markings on taxiways (consisting of the runway designator eg 09 - 27) to indicate the proximity of a runway These supplement the existing signs and should help prevent runway incursionsbull New larger ldquono entryrdquo signsbull Recommendations on Advanced Visual Docking Guidance Systems (A-VDGS) including systems that provide pilots with active guidance information such as distance-to-go and closing speedbull Recommendation to provide vehicle guidance systems so that the standard of RFF provision during low visibility operations is not degradedbull Provisions on bird hazard prevention are extended to all wildlifebull New marking and lighting of wind turbines as obstaclesbull Complete revision of ICAO provisions relating to heliport design and operationbull New guidance on limits of acceptable surface irregularities on runways

ACI took part in three ICAO Aerodromes Panel meetings in Montreal over the last two weeks

Aerodrome Operations and Services Working GroupThis group worked on issues from licensing and certification of aerodromes to runway surface friction measurement pavement strength and revision of the ICAO Airport Services Manual and Aerodrome Design Manual

On certification ICAO audits have indicated that conformance by States is low and States have indicated that additional guidance to that in Doc 9774 (Manual on Certification of Aerodromes) would be helpful In Europe the Group of Aerodrome Safety Regulators has concluded that the status of certification of aerodromes within Europe varies greatly amongst States It is editing guidance material on aerodrome auditing and inspection procedures that could be used by European aviation regulatory authorities to certify aerodromes The material presented was found useful This task will be coordinated with the new PANS-AGA (Procedures for Aerodromes)

The Friction Task Force presented draft revisions to Annex 14 which should be replaced by the notion of surface conditions assessment The pilot requires an assessment of the runway surface conditions expressed as estimated braking action The current possibility to give only a friction coefficient is not adequate It also produced a first draft of an ICAO Circular on runway friction issues

The Pavement Sub-group held a workshop on tyre pressure and Airbus will conduct pavement tests designed to verify whether it would be acceptable to increase the tyre pressure limits specified in Annex 14 for pavement categories

Aerodrome Design Working Group - sub-group on review of chapter 3The first meeting of this sub-group took place on 27 April This group will comprehensively review all airfield dimensions and physical design specifications in ICAO Annex 14 ndash a very large task since it covers all aerodrome reference codes (A to F) ndash ie all sizes of aircraft The group is chaired by ACI (David Gamper)

It was agreed that the review would seek to identify risks associated with each specification relate this to the characteristics of the aircraft or aircraft operations and develop solutions to mitigate the risks while checking the relevance of the current chapter 3 specifications

The group recognised that when airports are called on to accommodate larger aircraft many of them have very tight space constraints and the costs of compliance with design standards for a higher group are very high (eg cost of moving taxiways) This makes it very important that design standards are not set higher than is justified for safety reasons Working Group of the Whole The ldquoworking group of the wholerdquo coordinates between the working groups of the Aerodromes Panel and directs their work between full Panel meetings (the next to be held in late 2010)

The Visual Aids working group is covering issues such as Runway Guard Lights Runway Centre line lights (proposal to change them from red at end of runway) LEDs -signature in infra red and use with night vision systems and a revised naming convention for taxiways

The Rescue and Fire Fighting working group is working on reserve quantities of extinguishing agents Emergency Planning ndash three-year cycle with Modular tests as an alternative to the current requirement for a full exercise on a two-year cycle categorization of aircraft by type of operation not just present RFF categories (aircraft length etc) and staffing requirement based on a ldquotask resource analysisrdquo

Swine Influenza A (H1N1) up-

THREE IMPORTANT POINTS TO NOTE 1 No rationale for travel restrictions The WHO is not recommending travel restrictions related to the outbreak of the Influenza A (H1N1) Virus In its statement on 1 May 2009 httpwwwwhointcsrdiseaseswinefluguidancepublic_healthtravel_adviceenindexhtml

The WHO advises ldquoIt is considered prudent for people who are ill to delay international travel and for people developing symptoms following international travel to seek medical attention in line with guidance from national authorities Individuals are advised to wash hands thoroughly with soap and water on a regular basis and should seek medical attention if they develop any symptoms of influenza-like illnessrdquo Therefore the focus of the international response now is on minimising the impact of the virus through the rapid identification of cases and providing patients with appropriate medical care rather than on stopping its spread internationally 2 Checks on arriving passengers at airports are not considered efficient in stopping the spread of the diseaseIn response to enquiries from airports ACI World has also clarified with the WHO whether the imposition of checks (eg the taking of a passengerrsquos temperature or the use of thermal scanners) on arriving passengers was considered an efficient means of preventing the spread of this virus ACI World was advised that in the case of influenza the virus can be transmitted from person to person before the onset of symptoms (including fever) Furthermore scientific research which has been validated by historical records of previous influenza pandemics concludes that such measures will have limited or no benefit in stopping the spread of the disease Accordingly the imposition of such checks is not considered efficient in preventing the spread of the virus

3 The raising by the WHO of the influenza pandemic alert level to Phase 5 reflects the geographic spread of the disease not its severity When the Director General WHO raised the influenza pandemic alert level to Phase 5 on 29 April 2009 many apparently interpreted this as an increase in the severity of the disease This is incorrect It simply reflects the spread of the outbreak geographically A summary of the different phases is available at httpwwwwhointcsrdiseaseavian_influenzaphaseenindexhtml

Excerpt from Bulletin 21

March 2009 Traffic Statistics

wwwaciaero

March passenger and freight traffic remains depressed- ACI concerned about impact of Swine Influenza -

GENEVA 30 April 2009 ndash Traffic data for freight traffic points to December 2008 January 2009 as its lowest ebb point Although the results remain very low the declines have further softened in March Total freight was down by 18 percent for the month and 20 percent for the first quarter international traffic fell by 225 percent against 245 percent for the quarterly results Recovery from this catastrophic slump is expected to take quite some time but freight trends are mildly pointing up with better March results compared to Q1 results across all regions The improvement is lead by the Middle East which has registered positive growth for the first time since November 2008

There are equally signs that the passenger traffic decline has reached the bottom of the downward trend Data indicates that domestic travel as well as international traffic in Asia Pacific could lead the beginnings of an upturn Further declines in international traffic in the rest of the world are the result of a distortion due to the fact that Easter holidays were in March last year and in April this year

These results and analysis for March and first quarter 2009 do not yet take into account the impact of the outbreak of swine influenza now witnessed in a limited number of nations At the time of this release the World Health Organization (WHO) has not issued any travel advisories nor recommended border closings ACI and its members will continue to monitor this situation closely and comply with any new directives from the WHO and national health authorities

ACI Director of Health Security and Facilitation Craig Bradbrook comments ldquoWhile the swine influenza outbreak comes at a difficult time we remain confident that the industry will pull through this crisis as it has in the past Indeed as the Director General WHO has said the world is better prepared for an influenza pandemic that at any time in history ACI ICAO IATA and WHO responded to the previous SARS and Avian Flu outbreaks by developing comprehensive contingency procedures for airports and airlines We are seeing those being implemented in line with the WHOrsquos global response plan ACI is in regular communication with WHO and other industry stakeholders and will continue to provide information and assistance to airportsrdquo

ACI has released the questionnaire for the ACI Airport Economics Survey 2009 in early May Last yearrsquos survey covered 775 of 2007 global passenger volume a great result which ACI would like to improve on this year with the help of its members

ACI welcomes the participation from all its members irrespective of their size or location The data ACI is seeking is essential for its understanding of the economics of the airport industry worldwide on issues like airport charges capacity expenditure employment efficiency and revenue streams The more data ACI receives the more consistent and valid will the findings and conclusions be and the more the data can be broken down While some minor changes were made to its content the 2009 survey remains true to its one-page format for simplicity so that it can be quickly compiled from existing financial records

The ACI Airport Economics Survey is one of ACIrsquos most valuable documents as it delivers data that is essential in defending and substantiating airport interests and positions Furthermore it permits airports to benchmark and improve their performance against regional and global results

The 2009 survey questionnaire cuestionario is once again available in three languages
