Airport Excellence (APEX)

The Airport Excellence Program (APEX) offers on-site airport reviews led by industry experts with the objective of supporting member airports in complying with international and local regulations and optimizing airport operations. 

Airports benefit from a comprehensive assessment tailored to their specific needs and receive practical recommendations and specific solutions based on the observations found.
This program has been developed in conjunction with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the reviews are based on its various annexes and ACI best practices. APEX offers reviews in four priority areas: safety, AVSEC, environment and cybersecurity.

The programme is based on ICAO standards, national regulations and ACI best practices. APEX Programmes combines the mandate for regulatory compliance with day-to-day operational needs to maximize operational efficiency and safety and/or security standards. Moreover, APEX Reviews are tailored to the individual needs of airports and APEX Reports propose effective and targeted solutions.
