The Airport Management Professional Accreditation Programme (AMPAP) is the first global programme of its kind. Its successful completion leads to the International Airport Professional (IAP) designation.

The profession of airport manager has become increasingly challenging and complex. Airport/airlines interface management, airport development and financing, revenue generation, optimization of safety and security systems, environmental management and community relations are not only buzzwords; they are concepts and practices that airport managers are expected to master.

AMPAP is the world’s only course-based accreditation programme for airport executives delivered both face-to-face and online. All individuals who occupy a management position within a civil airport organization are eligible to apply. For airport management professionals, the IAP designation is THE global standard of excellence.

"Developing professionalism in airport management is a core priority for ACI. The Airport Management Professional Accreditation Programme (AMPAP), jointly launched and directed by ACI and ICAO, is a best-of-class programme for committed airport managers. In today's increasingly complex and global airport business, AMPAP offers a unique international context to expand their skills and broaden their horizons.  At the same time, successful candidates will acquire an international support network of key professional contacts that will serve them throughout their careers."

“ICAO and ACI have cooperated closely over the years to enhance the safety, security and efficiency of airport operations. The Airport Management Professional Accreditation Programme offered jointly by our two Organizations builds on this long-standing relationship to offer airport managers an exceptional opportunity to broaden their understanding of the global air transport system and gain insight into the critical importance of ICAO standards and policies to the sustained growth of the industry”.

“A programme for airport management professionals of this calibre and nature has long been due. The concept was discussed many times in many years but it needed strong institutional support to come to life and today it has, finally, thanks to the visionary leadership of ACI and ICAO. Having been directly involved in this fascinating industry as a manager, consultant and educator, I see this as the opportunity for us to make tremendous strides in the field. We owe it to ourselves and to the people we serve”.

“ACI and ICAO have taken an historic step in creating the Airport Management Professional Accreditation Programme (AMPAP). During my four years as Chairman of ACI, it became clear that our members were looking to ACI for training. ICAO is the ideal partner to give the programme the maximum impact. Airport managers need to have a wide range of skills and an international world view to perform effectively. AMPAP promises to deliver the essential training to achieve this goal”.

"ACI is proud to partner with ICAO in launching the Airport Management Professional Accreditation Programme (AMPAP). Airport management is an increasingly complex profession and ACI and ICAO are committed to helping the next generation of airport leaders broaden the scope of their skills. An ancillary benefit of AMPAP is that participants will acquire an international network of key contacts, a pre-condition to spreading best practices and innovation throughout our dynamic industry".
