The American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE) and the International Association of Airport Executives (IAAE), an affiliate organization of AAAE, have announced a major airport training partnership program with the Israel Airports Authority (IAA).
The historic agreement, signed on Aug. 6, 2019, in Tel Aviv, Israel, marks the first comprehensive partnership agreement between AAAE/IAAE and IAA to establish an airport training partnership that will include development of an International Airport Executive Professional Program, an IAAE-Israel Airport Executive Membership and an IAAE-Israel Accredited Airport Executive Program.
