New database lets Airports tap into latest sustainability efforts

ATW's Airports Today, November, 2009, p.5

Airports have a new tool that will give them access to and the ability to share successful programs and trends in airport sustainability, thanks to a new database launched by ACI-NA.

"Airports across the country and around the world have undertaken or are in the process of implementing innovative sustainability programs to improve efficiency in aviation, but until today there has been no central repository of this important information," said ACI-NA President Greg Principato when he unveiled the database on Oct. 12 at the annual ACI Annual Conference and Exhibition in Austin, Tex. "The information in this database can be tailored to the unique needs of airports of all sizes and will serve as a major resource for airport operators working to plan, implement and improve upon sustainability programs at their sites."

The consolidated database includes more than 970 existing sustainability measures undertaken at airports in North America. It was released under the direction of the Sustainable Aviation Guidance Alliance, a coalition of stakeholder organizations including ACI-NA, Airport Consultants Council, American Association of Airport Executives, Air Transport Assn. and FAA.
