FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Airport Check-In Blog Launches on ACI-NA Web Site
Washington, D.C. (May 28, 2008)—
Airports Council International-North America (ACI-NA) President Greg Principato
today launched an airport blog named Airport
Check-In on the ACI-NA Web site at www.aci-na.org.
“It’s important for ACI-NA to communicate in the blogosphere,” said Principato. “Airports, and aviation organizations like ACI-NA should provide information and a perspective on the industry that is easily accessible and can lead to conversations about issues that are relevant to all those who work at or use airports. ACI-NA, as the ‘voice of airports,’ needs to be able to provide and ask for feedback in as many on-line spaces as possible, including the social media space.”
Principato’s first blog entry
describes airports as “the new town square, where people come from everywhere
to mingle, eat, shop and grab their flight to see a loved one, attend an
important event or conclude a business deal.”
In addition, the blog applauds members or our armed forces, stating, “airports, airlines, concessionaires and many others have joined together to try to make that part of their [armed forces’] experience an enjoyable one.”
Airport Check-In will be updated at least weekly, with Wednesday postings. For more information and to read the blog, go to http://www.aci-na.org and click on Airport Check-In, Greg’s Blog.
Airports Council International - North America represents local, regional and state governing bodies that own and operate commercial airports in the United States and Canada. ACI-NA member airports enplane more than 95 percent of the domestic and virtually all the international airline passenger and cargo traffic in North America. More than 300 aviation-related businesses are also members of the association, which is the largest of the five worldwide regions of Airports Council International.
