Economics and Commercial
Airports are economic engines that generate significant economic and social impact for the communities they serve. They have evolved from mere infrastructure providers to become diverse and complex organizations and value-added service providers.
Airport economic management examines various issues that affect the growth and viability of the industry such as economic regulation, competition, airport charges, financing, infrastructure development, non-aeronautical revenues, and different ownership and operating models.
The ACI-LAC Economic and Commercial Committee promotes the economic interests of airports through the exchange of knowledge and best practices in economic policy and commercial management. Two subcommittees report to this committee:
Air Cargo Subcommittee
Working group formed to identify opportunities for air cargo development and provide a forum to discuss issues of interest and share best practices.
