During the 21st Annual General Assembly, Dr. Yiannis Paraschis, Chief Executive Officer of Athens International Airport was elected Chairman of the Airports Council International World Governing Board by a unanimous vote of the members.
“We welcome the opportunity to work with Yiannis over the next two years and thank him for his commitment to serve our members,” said ACI World Director General Angela Gittens.
Dr. Paraschis expressed his appreciation following the vote. “I would like to thank the General Assembly and my colleagues from the World Board for the trust that they have placed in me. During the economic crisis and the international instability we are experiencing, it is critical for the voice of the airports to be unified at a global level.”
Dr. Paraschis continued, “Building on the work of my predecessor Mr. Max Moore-Wilton and with the historic move of ACI World to Montreal close to ICAO, I am confident that with our new team and the leadership of Angela Gittens we will deliver results for our members.
“We will further develop a stronger and balanced relationship with IATA while at the same time meeting and exceeding our members’ expectations on safety, security, sustainability with an emphasis on the areas of economics and environment”, Paraschis concluded.
