Lew Bleiweis, A.A.E., Executive
Director of Asheville Regional Airport (AVL), has been elected chair of the
Airports Council International - North America (ACI-NA) U.S. Policy Board. By
position, the U.S. Policy board chair also serves as one of the five executive
committee members of the ACI-NA board. He will serve a two-year term in this
position.
"Lew is a well-respected
aviation leader who brings great expertise as chair of ACI-NA's U.S. Policy
Board," said Kevin M. Burke, president and CEO of ACI-NA. "As U.S.
airports look toward next year's Federal Aviation
Administration reauthorization, the U.S. Policy Board will be tasked with
developing forward-looking policies that promote airports as essential components
of our nation's transportation system. We look forward to working with Lew in
his new capacity as chair of this important group."
"I am pleased to serve as
chair of the U.S. Policy Board, and look forward to working with talented
aviation colleagues around the country to impact the industry positively,"
said Bleiweis. "The future of airports and aviation is strongly linked to
decisions that are made in Washington, and it is important that airports have a
strong voice in important policy decisions."
The ACI-NA's mission is to
advocate policies and provide services that strengthen the ability of
commercial airports to serve their passengers, customers and communities. The
ACI-NA represents local, regional and state governing bodies that own and operate
commercial airports in the United States and Canada. Approximately 380
aviation-related businesses are also members of ACI-NA, providing goods and
services to airports.
ACI-NA's members enplane more
than 95 percent of the domestic and virtually all the international airline
passenger and cargo traffic in North America.
