ACI World is the leading airport industry organization that represents and advances the collective interests of 1,751 airports around the world, accounting for 95% of global air traffic. This is the first time a Turkish national joins the ACI Governing Board.

TAV operates at 12 airports in six countries, including Istanbul Ataturk Airport  – the fastest growing airport in its category in the region.

“ACI member airports serve more than 5.2 billion passengers and 63 million flights every year” Şener said. “These figures are expected to double by 2030, mainly driven by traffic growth in emerging markets.  In order to sustain this growth and maximize economic and social benefits to the countries and communities they serve, the airport industry is faced with a diverse number of challenges. As the voice of the world’s airports, ACI is responsible for articulating and advocating forward policies related to airport development, economics, safety and security, and environmental issues as well trainings and information sharing, which enables its members to meet collective industry challenges  

Furthermore, TAV Airports North Africa Director Haluk Bilgi is nominated to ACI Africa Board. TAV operates two airports, Enfidha and Monastır in Tunisia. ACI Africa represents 200 airports in 47 countries.
