Concession Planning International (CPI) reports that it has been chosen to help develop the new training programme on airport commercial management which is scheduled to be delivered by Airport’s Council International’s (ACI) Online Learning Centre.

 

CPI says it will now deliver ‘all content for the organisation’s revised Certificate in Airport Economics – Commercial Management’, which will be re-launched in early 2018.

 

ADDRESSING NON-AERONAUTICAL REVENUES…

It adds that this includes several modules, while it also addresses the fundamentals of non-aeronautical revenue business at airports and forms an important part of the Airport Economics curriculum provided by ACI.

 

Commenting on the development, Susan Gray, Managing Director of CPI Australia, said: “This course will be a fantastic introduction to the airport commercial world.

 

“There are many aspects of the airport commercial business that are unique to this industry. This course will be an excellent foundation for airport managers who would like to better understand the fundamentals of the non-aviation business.”

 

ACI WELCOMES CPI ONBOARD

Adding his comments, Eddie Ragauskas, Senior Manager responsible for the operation of ACI’s Online Learning Centre said: “We are delighted to have CPI on board for this project. CPI’s experience, track record and thought leadership in this domain will ensure that airport personnel around the world will have access to the latest industry guidance and best practices with regards to airport commercial operations.”

 

CPI has a very good reputation and a long track record in the field of airport commercial training, establishing the very first professional development course of its kind way back in 2000 in the UK.

 

Today, the company runs two, four-day long, highly-targeted airport commercial development and management courses every year – both in the UK and Australia.

 

CPI’s Gray added: “We’ve had consistently positive feedback on the value that our courses are adding, so this new partnership with ACI is a perfect fit for us. We see the Certificate in Airport Economics – Commercial Management’s web-based, self-guided modules – as the perfect precursor to our more in-depth, hands-on course.’’
