Airports Council International

Airports Council International (ACI) is the leading international trade group of the world's commercial aviation industry, based in Geneva, Switzerland.

ACI has 567 members operating over 1650 airports in 176 countries and territories. In 2005, ACI members handled 4.2 billion passengers, 81.8 million metric tonnes of freight, and 71.6 million aircraft movements.

ACI is comprised of six regions, each operating as an independent trade group under a collective affiliation through the ACI brand. Accordingly, the Geneva-based "ACI" is not a true headquarters so much as an umbrella organization uniting the six independent regional associations. The six regions of ACI are:

• ACI-North America (based in Washington, D.C.), which represents most commercial airports in the United States and Canada

• ACI-EUROPE (based in Brussels, Belgium)

• ACI-Latin America and Caribbean (based in Merida, Mexico)

• ACI-Pacific (based in Hong Kong), emcompassing Northeast and Southeast Asia, Australasia, the island nations in the Pacific Ocean, Vancouver (Canada), San Francisco (USA) and Hawaii (USA).

• ACI-Asia (based in New Delhi, India)

• ACI-Africa (based in Cairo, Egypt)

• ACI Montreal Bureau (part of the ACI world office at the International Civil Aviation Organization in Montreal, Quebec, Canada)
