AIRPORT VOICE, OCTOBER 2020 21
JFK certification programs
Health & safety are priorities
To instill confidence in our customers,
employees, and key stakeholders
that our airports and facilities
are safe by demonstrating
through industry recognized global
certification programs that we are
prioritizing health and safety in a
measurable, established manner
through our JFK Landside Operations
team headed by lead
John Arancio.
The Port Authority has approved
our pursuit of two programs
to achieve this goal through
the ACI Airport Health Accreditation
(AHA) and AAAE Global
Biorisk Advisory Council (GBAC)
STAR accreditation program
Program Goals • Ensure the facilities
we provide for our employees
and the public are clean and
safe against spread of COVID-19 •
Work with all our airport tenants,
federal partners, air carriers and
others doing business at the airport
to develop and implement a set
of standard policies and practices
consistent with federal, state and
local regulatory and health guidance
• Ensure all employees who
work at the airport are trained
on COVID-19 prevention and furnished
with the PPE necessary to
protect their health • Work with all
parties within the Aviation industry
to develop and implement consistent
COVID-19 prevention measures
with the goal of achieving
safe air travel uniformly throughout
the journey • Let the traveling
public know that we are working
hard to make air travel safe
against COVID-19
