Abu Dhabi Airports Company’s CEO Bryan Thompson has been appointed to the board of Airports Council International (ACI), the global trade body that represents the world's airport authorities. The prestigious appointment coincides with the UAE capital hosting the ACI Airports Exchange 2019 exhibition from November 25 to 27.

The ACI Exchange is the world’s largest event aimed at the aviation industry, with a remit to foster international co-operation and address key issues within the industry. The Abu Dhabi event will welcome more than 1,000 delegates for a broad conference agenda covering sustainability, mobility and technology.

“I’m honoured and delighted to be appointed on the ACI board and look forward to working with other regions to promote the aviation industry’s interests,” Thompson said. “Ultimately, this  appointment is a recognition of Abu Dhabi government’s efforts to promote aviation as a key facet of the UAE’s future economy, clearly demonstrated by its investment into the Midfield Terminal Building, which will set the benchmark for airports for the next 20 years.”
