Which of these topics is your airport looking into?
We are keenly aware of and involved in our industry's efforts to plan for emerging technologies and improve operational efficiency, passenger experience, and business continuity. A building block for Barich, Inc. is the belief that active participation in US and global industry initiatives is essential to our ability to make a lasting difference for our airport clients. For over 20 years, Barich has supported associations such as Airports Council International North America (ACI-NA), ACI World, the International Air Transport Association (IATA), Airlines for America (A4A), American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE), the Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP), the Program for Applied Research in Airport Security (PARAS), and the OnGo Alliance.
For example, in our current ACRP Project 03-52, we have collaborated with 50+ organizations—including airports (of all sizes), airlines, regulatory agencies, industry associations, and solution providers—as we work to produce guidelines for airport operators and airlines to develop, implement, and manage common use programs.
We are currently involved in the following industry activities:
