✈ ACI health accreditation for Sarajevo International Airport

Sarajevo International Airport successfully completed accreditation activities under Airports Council International (ACI) program for accreditation of health services at airports. After reviewing the evidence presented through the evaluation process, Sarajevo International Airport has shown and proved to provide a safe environment for all travelers, in accordance with the recommended health measures established in ACI Aviation Business Restart and Recovery guidelines, ICAO Council recommendations and in compliance with best practices in the industry.

ACI’s Airport Health Accreditation Program enables the airport operators to determine whether the established health measures at the airports are in compliance with the recommendations by ICAO's task force for recovery of aviation, CART (Council Aviation Recovery Task Force).

Substantially, the benefits of health accreditation include the possibilities of the airport operator to:

•     demonstrate to passengers, staff, the regulator and the government that the priority of the airport operator is establishing a safe health environment,
•     evaluate already established processes and health measures in the facilities of the airport,
•     reassure passengers that using the airport areas is safe,
•     promote professional performance regarding high cleaning standards,
•     promote best practices in the aviation industry and
•     enable the harmonization of health measures set by International Civil Aviation Organization - ICAO and their implementation at the airport.

The health accreditation included more stages and it implied completing the questionnaire and supporting documentation, online interview and assessment by the representatives of the Airports Council International. Sarajevo International Airport was awarded the health accreditation by ACI Airport Health Accreditation Program, after fulfilling the requirements, presented through the evidence.

After awarded accreditation, the airport operator regularly carries out an independent monitoring of implemented health measures and it renews the accreditation annually, through the process of reaccreditation, demonstrating a continued compliance with the requirements of the program .
