Patti Chau, Regional Director said, “At the 12th ACI Asia-Pacific Regional Assembly, we called upon members to provide mutual support within the airport community by taking part in ACI APEX in Safety and Security programs and make use of ACI training courses and seminars as we work together towards long-term sustainability and growth of the air transport industry.
