    ACI World Urges Governments to Plan Airport Capacity Now

    At the ACI-LAC/World Annual General Assembly in Lima, ACI World called on governments to make increasing airport capacity part of long-term national infrastructure and economic planning, and to modernise the frameworks governing slots and market access. Director General Justin Erbacci said the industry will need to invest more than USD 4 trillion by 2055 just to meet growth already coming its way, but cannot simply build its way out of the challenge.
