Bucharest Airports National Company, the first airport company certified ACI Airport Excellence Safety Review

In February 2013, Bucharest Airports National Company hosted the Airport Excellence Safety Review programme, carried out by Airports Council International experts, in partnership with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).

Bucharest Airports National Company became the first airport company certified with “Airport Excellence Safety Review” after this audit, and was also confirmed a strategic contributor of Airport Excellence (APEX) programme that will promote the most modern procedures and airspace safety standards in airports all over the world.

Since the certification as „Safety Partner” of ACI Airport Excellence programme, Bucharest Airports National Company will be part of international airport audit missions. The first audit in the aeronautical safety field performed by BANC will be at Chennai andAhmedabad airports in India. BANC’s experts will be part of ICAO-ACI missions which will verify and evaluate the standards and aeronautical safety procedures applied in the Indian airports.

“The safety of air operations is a fundamental objective and a strategic priority of Bucharest Airports National Company which is totally involved in answering promptly to the field’s challenges. I am confident that, through ACI APEX Safety Review programme, implemented with ICAO’s support, the aeronautical safety standards of Henri Coanda andAurel Vlaicu International Airports will be taken to a superior level. The experience of this international mission is an important advantage of BANC in the optimization of activities and procedures applied in the aeronautical safety domain”, said Cornel Constantin Poteraşu, General Director of Bucharest Airports National Company.
