Airports Council International (ACI) Asia-Pacific has named new officers, directors and special advisors to its regional board during its first-ever virtual regional assembly. The regional board governs the overall development strategy of ACI Asia-Pacific and comprises aviation business leaders from across the Asia-Pacific and Middle East region. The annual regional assembly evolved to a virtual event following the cancellation of the 15th ACI Asia-Pacific Regional Assembly, Conference & Exhibition as a result of the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic on air travel.
