Airports Council International (ACI) World has announced that SITA has renewed and strengthened its long-standing support for its training and leadership programme for airport executives, the ACI-International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Airport Management Professional Accreditation Program (AMPAP).
SITA’s increased support of AMPAP will allow ACI and ICAO to deliver more training in the next three years, offering collaborative solutions to airport executives. According to SITA, these efforts will play a crucial role in developing a skilled and sustainable aviation workforce, while addressing the evolving demands of the industry and ensuring its long-term success.
“Our industry needs to continue to develop and evolve if it is to deliver our long-term goals for growth and sustainability going forward, with technological solutions at the heart of its transfor-mation. This training programme equips executives with the skills they need to meet the ever-evolving demands for more efficient, effective and environmentally sustainable airport business and operations in an increasingly competitive and rapidly changing world,” said Nathalie Altwegg, SVP of Airports at SITA.
AMPAP is an executive development programme for airport managers worldwide. It encompasses ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs), international regulations and ACI best practices, enhances airport efficiency, promotes innovation and sustainability, and incorporates new technologies such as advanced air mobility systems. More than 1,300 students have graduated from AMPAP since the programme’s inception in 2007.
