Airport IT Solutions and Tools

As the standard for information and data exchange in the aviation industry, ACI’s ACRIS program defines a framework for airports, airlines, partners, and suppliers to share data, business processes, and IT solutions across different companies and providers to foster airport efficiency and revenue growth.

Delivered in partnership with Airline Business and SITA, the survey tracks key technology trends and priorities for airports.

ACI World developed a practical set of recommendations to assist airports in building a Cybersecurity Incident Response Plan. These guidelines include a Top Ten set of actions for airports to consider and a set of pre-requisites, which should be in place before or in parallel with the response plan's development.
