Tiruchirappalli: Two-day Domestic Airport Lab on 'Re-Engineering the Key Approaches within Airport Commercial Planning & Implementation to Maximize Non-Aeronautical Revenue' inaugurated recently by Shri Anuj Aggarwal, Member (HR), AAI at Tiruchirappalli Airport. Shri Anuj Aggarwal in his keynote address emphasised the need to focus on maximizing non-aeronautical revenues while making air travel more affordable to the common man.
The two-day highly interactive workshops will offer small groups of IAPs (International Airport Professionals) the opportunity to discuss, collaborate, and learn from airport professionals that have demonstrated leadership on a specific airport subject.
He said, 'This problem-solving lab is an initiative to utilize the expertise of International Airport Professionals of AAI and will be able to come out with innovative solutions to further device, accomplish and boost non-aeronautical revenues at par with best global practices.' On this occasion, EP Hareendranathan, Executive Director (Training-IAA) and Head of Airport Lab Committee, AAI; Sanjay Jain, Executive Director (Human Resources); S Sreekumar, Regional Executive Director, Southern Region and K Gunasekaran, APD Trichy airport were also present.
This exercise would facilitate the sharing of best practices and put across innovative ideas for enhancement of non-aeronautical revenues. This, in part, serves the airport which benefits from the perspective of a diverse team of global airport professionals. The idea is to utilize the collective wisdom and rich experience of these airport professionals to find innovative solutions.
Speaking on the occasion, Hareendranathan highlighted that the primary purpose of Airport Labs is to bring International Airport Professionals (IAPs) together to share expertise on specific best practices in various aviation specific areas. AAI has the largest pool of more than 150 executives, designated as IAPs. These executives are designated as IAPs after successfully completing Airport Management Professional Accreditation Programme (AMPAP), a joint program of Airport Council International (ACI) and International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
