Safety Data Sharing Program to Cover Entire Region in 2018 The last issue of Technical Bulletin reported on the pilot program on the sharing of safety data amongst ACI AsiaPacific Operational Safety Committee Members in order to help airports identify safety vulnerabilities and improve safety. The Committee, after trying out and improving the data collection form and process, decided at its 20th meeting held in Doha in April to expand the program to the entire region so that more than 500 ACI Asia-Pacific member airports will be able to benefit from this opportunity to benchmark their safety performance against their peers.

Participating airports will be required to provide safety data on annual basis and in return they will receive a summary, including the averages of the safety performance indicators of all participants, such as the number of bird strikes and runway incursions. To protect the identity of participating airports, the summary provided will be anonymized; it will only show the averages and other relevant aggregate statistics such as 95 percentiles, so that airports can participate in the program without worrying their identities will be leaked.

ACI Asia-Pacific airport members will receive an invitation to join the program and sign a confidentiality agreement as a condition of participation next year.

Safety Promotion Guidance Completed and More to Come The promotion of safety to all airport employees, not only a handful of airfield operations and safety managers may sound secondary to many but it in fact is one of the key elements of the Safety Management System, without which, no international airports should, in theory, be certified or in other words, allowed to operate, under the Convention of International Civil Aviation. Safety is often promoted, in a very cost effective manner, with visual communication tools, such as posters put up at prominent locations in the workplace. Many safety managers also find examples of promotional materials used at other airports useful as a reference when designing their own posters and slogans.

That is why the Safety Committee embarked on compiling such reference materials last year by collating posters used at airports around the region. The reference book is now completed and will be published this summer.

The Committee has this year moved on to draft guidelines in other safety areas: change management and root cause analysis of accidents. The first will consist of a checklist that will guide airports in the identification of potential safety risks when implementing changes, be they organizational, regulatory, procedural or infrastructural. This may sound trivial but in a complex operating environment such as the airport, there is always a risk of a seemingly minor change in one aspect of airport operations making an unintentional, sometimes major, impact on safety elsewhere. Going through a checklist is a systematic way of minimizing such risks.

ACI Asia-Pacific Technical Bulletin Page 4

Another set of guidelines that the Committee has started writing will be aimed at assisting airports in determining the root cause of accidents methodically. Without a systematic approach, accidents tend to be attributed to superficial reasons thereby undermining the efforts to prevent similar recurrences in the future.

Both the change management checklist and the guidelines on root cause analysis are expected to be published in 2018 after final reviews by the Committee.

The ACI Asia-Pacific Regional Operational Safety Committee met in Doha, 9 to 10 April 2017, to discuss ways to further improve safety in the region

ACI’s Engagement with ICAO Paying Off Years of active discussions with ICAO to optimize airport design standards are paying off handsomely for the airport industry and ultimately its customers, i.e. the passengers. The latest achievement for ACI is ICAO’s acceptance to reduce the standard runway width for very large aircraft (Code F) such as A380 from 60 to 45 meters. The 60-meter requirement was established in the 1990s when the A380 was still on the drawing board by extrapolating runway widths for existing aircraft models at that time. As it happened, the A380 that came into service in 2007, a modern aircraft equipped with advanced avionics and control mechanisms, was more stable and better than expected in keeping itself to the centerline of the runway and the extrapolation was proved far too conservative.

A proposal in the form of an ICAO State Letter requesting comments from its 191 Member States in April would reduce the 60-meter requirement to 45 meters. There are also proposals in the same letter to reduce the distance between the runway and taxiway next to it. These would largely reduce the construction and maintenance costs of new runways and taxiways. ACI members are encouraged to urge their State regulators to accept the proposal, preferably with favorable comments. Replies are due to ICAO by 21 July 2017 (State Letter AN 4/1.1.57-17/44, dated 19 April 2017).

New ICAO Safety Management Manual to be Shorter and Easier to Read ACI’s involvement with ICAO is not limited to airport design and operations standards; the association is represented in the various panels and working groups responsible for other matters, such as the Safety Management Panel whose responsibilities include the writing and updating of the Safety Management manual (Doc 9859). The latest version of Doc 9859 is the third edition published in 2013. While it is considered a comprehensive and authoritative reference in safety management, the 254-page document is sometimes considered too detailed for most practitioners. The next edition, still being drafted and reviewed, is expected to be largely abridged and much shorter, while retaining the essence of the previous versions.

Member airports are reminded that ACI last year published a handbook aimed at helping airports get started with the process of setting up an SMS. This handbook is written specifically for airports – the ICAO manual contains materials for both States and aerodrome operators – and much shorter and easier to read. It is available for purchase at the ACI website here.

Security Committee to Tackle Cybersecurity and Insider Threat The 20th Regional Aviation Security Committee (RASC) meeting was held in Doha, Qatar from 13 to 14 April 2017, following the 12th ACI Asia-Pacific Regional Assembly.

Fifteen members and observers from seven airports attended the meeting where the Committee shared the latest developments on aviation security at their airports and discussed some of the latest security issues, including the ban on personal electronic devices in carry-on luggage on certain US/UK-bound flights. One of the major outcomes of the 2-day meeting was the decision to form two working groups on cybersecurity and insider threat to provide airports with guidance on these two specific topics. In addition, the Committee agreed that ACI Asia-Pacific should continue to represent airports’ interest at ICAO and formed ACI positions in the upcoming ICAO regional aviation security meetings.

The 21st RASC meeting is scheduled to be in Q4 this year. Meeting date and venue will be confirmed in due course.

Please contact SL Wong at sl@aci-asiapac.aero if you are interested in participating in the Committee.

ACI helps Phuket Develop Suspicious Activity Program Suspicious activity detection is increasingly being used by airports as a preventive landside security measure, and ACI Asia-Pacific has always been supportive in helping airports within the region to implement Suspicious Activity Program (SAP). One example was the joint effect between the Australian Government, ACI Asia-Pacific, and other regional security stakeholders in producing the handbook “A guide to developing and implementing a suspicious activity identification program at airports� in August 2016.

Recently, one step further was taken to put the handbook into practice. Organized and funded by the Australian government, an SAP Development Workshop was held from 28 to 31 March 2017 in Phuket, Thailand.

The 4-day workshop was attended by over 15 participants coming from various security-related departments of Airports of Thailand (AOT). Using the handbook as a reference document, the workshop aims to help Phuket Airport develop and implement their own SAP based on the local risk context. ACI Asia-Pacific recommended AVSECO, the security company of Hong Kong Airport, to be the instructor of the workshop.

Apart from the workshop, there will be more follow-up actions and revisits in the coming months to ensure a smooth implementation of SAP at Phuket Airport.

ACI Calls for Airports to Strengthen Landside Security A resolution on landside security was unanimously adopted at the 12th ACI Asia-Pacific Regional Assembly held in Doha on 11 April 2017.

“Landside” usually refers to the public areas of airports. These public areas, in particular within terminal buildings, have become an increasingly favored target for terrorists. The terrorist attacks at Istanbul Atatürk Airport and Brussels Airport in 2016 have exposed the vulnerability of landside areas and galvanized airports and governments to examine the need to enhance landside security.

The resolution underlines airports’ commitment to work with regulators to implement common-sense, flexible and practical measures that best fit their risk environment and do not create new potential target areas by increasing queues or crowds. Particularly mentioned in the resolution, airports are encouraged to strengthen landside security by: 1) establishing programs to identify suspicious behavior; 2) considering landside security in airport design; and 3) facilitating passenger movements and avoiding mass congregations of passengers in the check-in area with information technology.

Besides, a landside security handbook is currently being developed by ACI World and is expected to be ready for publication by the end of 2017.

ACI Initiates Joint Effort on Smart Security and Facilitation Smart Security is a joint ACI-IATA initiative with a vision to improve the effectiveness and convenience of airport security processes. There are 3 most important elements of Smart Security: Security Effectiveness, Operational Efficiency and Passenger Experience.

The 11th Smart Security Management Group (SSMG11) meeting was held in Narita, Japan on 1-2 March 2017. The meeting was attended by a total of 22 representatives from airlines, airports, regulators, industry associations and security service providers. Airport representatives from the APAC region included SIN, NRT and DOH. One of the highlights of the meeting agenda was the two joint sessions with IATA Passenger Facilitation Working Group (PFWG) and Biometrics Multi-Disciplinary Working Group (BMWG). This was the first time for SSMG to have joint working group sessions between the areas of security and facilitation. The aim was to bring together the perspective from two sides to discuss how to progress toward “One Identity�* without compromising security.

In addition, the latest version of Smart Security Guidance Materials are now available for download in ACI website (password protected). Please contact SL Wong at sl@aci-asiapac.aero for access if you are interested.

ACI Works With Airports to Brace for Electronic Devices Ban The ban on the carry-on of large electronic items by the United States and the United Kingdom for certain flights coming from selected airports has sparked huge controversy across the industry.

This issue was thoroughly discussed at the 20th ACI Asia-Pacific Regional Aviation Security Committee (RASC) meeting in which some of the directly affected airports, including Doha and Saudi Arabia, were present. The

ACI Asia-Pacific Technical Bulletin Page 9

Committee concluded the ban does not necessarily lead to security effectiveness and may result in simply shifting the threat to other locations rather than addressing it. Also, concerns were raised about the potential safety risk caused by the increase in lithium batteries that are placed in the aircraft hold rather than in the cabin.

In early April 2017, ACI issued a statement to call for urgent consideration for alternative solutions. As the issue continues to evolve with the possibility of extending the ban to more airports, ACI will do its best endeavor to liaise with associated authorities for a sustainable solution that can effectively mitigate the threat without causing additional hassle to passengers.

World Airports Environmental and Sustainability Experts Met in Hong Kong The 35th ACI World Environment Standing Committee (WESC) Meeting was kindly hosted by Airport Authority Hong Kong, on 8-9 March 2017. It was attended by about 30 delegates, four Asia-Pacific airport members participated, and they were Airport Authority Hong Kong, Airports of Thailand Plc., Narita International Airport Corp., and Dubai Airports.

Airports recently accredited or upgraded under the programme were presented with Airport Carbon Accreditation certificates at the 12th ACI Asia-Pacific Regional Assembly, Conference & Exhibition.

It is worth recognizing that ACI Asia-Pacific now has five airports which have achieved the highest level of accreditation, Level 3+ Neutrality! They are Indira Gandhi International Airport, Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, and more recently Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, Kempegowda International Airport and Sunshine Coast Airport!

Congratulations!

Technical Updates: The last Airport Carbon Accreditation Task Force met in April in Athens. ACI EUROPE has decided to introduce a new programme fee structure applying as of year 9 of the programme. This fee structure is based on reduced fees compared to those of year 8, with the strongest reductions being applied for new entries and renewals at levels 3 and 3+. The revision of the fees was made possible by a strong programme growth, exceeding the initial projections and thus allowing to cover the programme running costs with less contribution from the individual airports.

The group agreed to spread out reductions from one-off energy efficiency/renewables investments (rolling average

ACI Asia-Pacific Technical Bulletin Page 15

over a period longer than three years) as one of the avenues to support the achievement of on-going emissions reductions. ACI Europe will perform a study in offsetting instruments that aims to help airport choosing offsetting instrument when they decide to upgrade to Level 3+.

Brisbane Airport Reconciliation Action Plan A journey towards reconciliation Brisbane Airport Corporation (BAC) developed a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) in conjunction with Indigenous employees and Traditional Owners in May 2016. As such, Brisbane Airport was the first airport in Australia to develop a RAP that was endorsed by the peak body overseeing reconciliation in Australia.

What is a RAP? A RAP is simply a business plan that documents what an organisation commits to do to contribute to reconciliation in Australia.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ rate as among the most disadvantaged peoples in Australia. RAPs enables organisations to commit to implementing and measuring practical actions that build respectful relationships and create opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. These themes form the backbone of a RAP and are explored below.

Theme 1 - Relationships BAC is committed to building stronger relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. We are striving to create a company culture and environment that connects Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and the airport community, neighbouring community and international visitors to Brisbane. Central to this is fostering mutual respect, sharing and celebrating the rich Aboriginal history of our area and beyond and building beneficial partnerships to further reconciliation.

Theme 2 - Respect As a gateway to Australia, BAC recognises and values cultural diversity as an asset that enriches our community. We will continue to respect and incorporate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art and cultures into our physical structures and spaces at Brisbane Airport, and celebrate and share Australian Indigenous peoples’ cultural knowledge, relationship to land and sea, histories, perspectives and experiences throughout our core business

ACI Asia-Pacific Technical Bulletin Page 18

activities.

Theme 3 - Opportunities BAC understands the significant social and economic barriers experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities within our region. We will contribute to the efforts to strengthen professional development, employment, access and economic opportunities for Indigenous Australians through our continuing engagement across all facets of core business activities.

To obtain a copy of BAC’s RAP see: http://www.bne.com.au/brisbane-airport-corporations-reconciliation-action-plan Wendy Weir – Environment and Sustainability Manager, Brisbane Airport Corporation Wendy Weir is the Environment and Sustainability Manager for Brisbane Airport Corporation. She is the current Vice Chair of the Airports Council International Regional Environment Committee for the Asia Pacific region and also chaired Australia’s national birdstrike avoidance group, the Australian Aviation Wildlife Hazard Group, from 2012 to 2015.
