AIRPORTS Council International (ACI) World has published updated guidance for airports to aid in their recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to ACI World director general Luis Felipe de Oliveira said as the industry prepares to sustain a long-term recovery, the third edition of Airport Operations Business Restart and Recovery has been retitled to Airport Operations and COVID-19: Business Recovery. ACI’s updated guidance includes information on health passes, COVID-19 testing facilities and risk management.
“The guidance includes updates on the practical and efficient health and operational measures that can be introduced to support safe travel. ACI has also expanded the guidance to include information on health passes and vaccinations, as well as risk management when returning to operations, with a particular focus on human factors during recovery,” de Oliveira said.
Luis Felipe de Oliveira explained that with the roll out of vaccines worldwide and the loosening of travel restrictions, the time for airport business recovery is here. The updated guidance will help airports to seize the moment. It covers all aspects of airport management and operation to help airport operators choose and implement measures that might be appropriate according to local circumstances.
“ACI continues to advocate the importance of governments policy support and assistance to pursue a coordinated and risk-based approach to combining testing and vaccination to promote travel when the epidemiological situation allows,” de Oliveira remarked.
The third edition of this publication has been sponsored by Honeywell, which have contributed new chapters on technological solutions for healthy airports. [sources/photo special]
