ACI Media Press Release Archives (2008)

Speaking at the ICAO Forum on air traffic management systems NextGen and SESAR, ACI Director General Angela Gittens promoted two important airport views. One is to adjust the focus to the Global Air Transportation System framework, which includes the airport perspective on what these technological advances mean for airports that provide the infrastructure and services to passengers and airlines on the ground. The second is the need to recognize that the challenges to implementation of the technological improvements of NextGen and SESAR are now as much political as they are technical.
