ACI World Launches Policy Agenda 2030, Urging Aviation Regulation Modernization

ACI World released its Policy Agenda 2030 on 5 May 2026 in Montreal, setting out four airport-industry policy priorities: airports as businesses, airport capacity enhancement, safety, security and operations, and sustainable growth and decarbonization. ACI World warned that outdated regulatory frameworks risk constraining global air travel growth, capacity and sustainability, and urged governments and regulators to act on capacity, connectivity, resilience and socio-economic value. The agenda complements ACI World's 2025-2030 Strategic Plan and aligns with the ICAO Strategic Plan 2026-2050.

Impact and considerations

The agenda signals where the airport industry will push regulators over the coming years, including slot-policy modernization, capacity expansion and decarbonization. That could shape infrastructure investment, airport charges and available capacity, with knock-on effects on corporate travel routing and costs.
