The Airport Consultants Council (ACC) marks 40 years in the aviation industry in 2018. |
Alexandria, VA - The Airport Consultants Council (ACC) is celebrating an exciting milestone this year as the global trade association marks 40 years of delivering excellence in airport development. ACC, founded in 1978, has grown to upwards of 240+ members around the globe and across multiple disciplines. ACC is known as the "go-to" organization on airport development issues. Year after year, ACC keeps its members appraised of new aviation trends while promoting fair competition and procurement practices. "ACC was formed in 1978 thanks to the foresight of leaders that realized the need for the airport development industry to have a unique voice in aviation policy and technical issues," said ACC President T.J. Schulz. "ACC has come a long way over 40 years, and with the evolution of the industry over this time, and the growth of ACC as an organization, we are really excited for what the future holds." "I am excited to undertake an update to the ACC Strategic Plan this year with the ACC Board of Directors and membership, to help chart out a dynamic future for our organization that will meet the evolving needs of the airport development community," said ACC Board Chair Mary Ellen Eagan, HMM. "As airports are looking to become more resilient in the future, so must ACC and its members. Stay tuned for an opportunity to provide input on the future direction of the organization." ACC members are encouraged to help ACC celebrate 40 years at the 2018 ACC Annual Conference & Exposition in Bermuda, November 12-14. Details for this event can be found at www.acconline.org.

Fairbanks International Airport Baggage Transport Conveyor Enhanced With Mod Drive™ System
Airports face a host of unique industry challenges, such as meeting efficiency regulations and seeking out the best maintenance practices to reduce costs and keep operations flowing. In today’s current economic climate, any potential cost savings can go a long way.
In 2019, Alaska’s Fairbanks International Airport (FAI) sought to modernize its equipment and operations. They were dissatisfied with the performance of the gearmotors on their baggage transport conveyors and began searching for new suppliers. Regal approached FAI with a solution that could improve equipment performance and simplify maintenance, with the added benefit of energy cost savings: the Hub City® MOD Drive™ system.
