ACI-NA continues to examine how we deliver valuable educational content and leadership development opportunities to help airports overcome new and emerging challenges.

Under the new combined JumpStart^® Air Service Development Conference layout, the ACI-NA Small Airports Committee is scheduled to hold an in-depth Committee meeting to discuss ongoing operational and regulatory issues affecting small and non-hub airports on Sunday, June 12, 2022.

Following the Committee meeting and beginning on Monday, June 13, the 2022 JumpStart^® Air Service Development Conference will help small and non-hub airports seize more opportunities to attract and maintain air service for your airport. The event will begin with a full day of educational sessions, followed by two days of airport-airline meetings. ACI-NA is pleased to announce we are adding more value to the conference by offering enhanced networking opportunities, a new mobile app to help you connect with attendees, and personalized scheduling to maximize your time at JumpStart^®.

Any professional interested in learning about aviation trends as they pertain to small & non-hub airports.

ACI-NA Members who plan to ONLY attend the Small Airports Committee Meeting on June 12, 2022 (i.e., not attending any portion of JumpStart®) are permitted to do so without a fee, but must register in advance.

Please contact jumpstart@airportscouncil.org to receive additional information on how to register for the June 12 meeting.

Sponsoring an ACI-NA conference or meeting offers your company a prime opportunity to network with existing clients and showcase your company’s goods and services to prospective customers in your target market. ACI-NA offers a variety of opportunities for companies of all sizes to sponsor any of our annual conferences and meetings and reach our airport and aviation-related business members.

Sponsorship opportunities are available for 2022 JumpStart®. Please contact Karynna at sponsorship@airportscouncil.org for additional details.

Can I submit my airline wish list now and pay later?

Yes, you can submit your airline wish list now and pay later, however, please ensure to pay by May 13, 2022, to guarantee your airline meetings.

What is Step 1 – Meet&Match Registration?

Meet&Match is the dedicated online website for you to request airline meetings. Meet&Match allows you to create your profile, submit additional attendees from your airport, and submit your airline wish list. The Meet&Match registration deadline is April 1, 2022.

What is Step 2 – Conference Registration?

Conference registration (payment) is required for all attendees, even if you have multiple representatives from your airport/organization. It is important you pay by May 13, 2022, to guarantee your airline meetings.

What does JumpStart Meet&Match registration and wish list deadline mean?

You must submit your airline wish list by April 1, 2022, using the Meet&Match website.

What if I register after April 1, 2022?

If you register using the Meet&Match website after April 1, 2022, we cannot guarantee that you will secure meetings with your preferred airlines.

What is Meet&Match’s Primary Contact?

Meet&Match’s Primary Contact is the single designated person from an airport to receive emails from the JumpStart and Meet&Match website. If you are no longer the primary contact for your airport, please contact JumpStart@airportscouncil.org and we will set up a new profile for a colleague.

How does the Meet&Match scheduling work?

Once airlines and airports have submitted their wish lists, ACI-NA will use specialized software which will automatically confirm and schedule meetings. Please click here to view additional information on scheduling.

How do I request meetings?

The online Meet&Match website allows you to request meetings by creating a wish list of airlines you would like to meet with. The higher up an airline is on your wish list increases the probability of securing a meeting with that airline.

How will I be notified when new airlines register?

You will be notified by regular email updates when new airlines confirm to attend JumpStart.

Can my consultant register for Meet&Match (Step 1) and submit the airline wish list on behalf of my airport?

Yes, your consultant can register on behalf of your airport, but ACI-NA will only send email notifications to the primary contact registered in Meet&Match. This means the airport will not receive updates regarding their airline meeting schedule.

How many meetings do I get?

The maximum number of meetings you can have is 12. ACI-NA does not guarantee a minimum number of meetings. However, if you receive three or fewer meetings, ACI-NA will contact you directly to see if we can secure additional airline meetings to improve your JumpStart experience.

When do I obtain my final meeting schedule?

You will receive your final meeting schedule via email on May 31, 2022.

Will you work with my consultant to avoid meeting conflicts?

Yes, we will work directly with your consultant to avoid conflicts with meetings. If there is a meeting conflict, please let your consultant contact us.

Can I make changes to my schedule after receiving the preliminary schedule?

Yes, changes can be made to your schedule after receiving the preliminary schedule. Please notify us as soon as possible if you would like to request a change.

Can I cancel my meeting with a specific airline? 

Yes, you can cancel specific airline meetings when you receive your preliminary schedule if you feel that your meeting may not valuable. However, you must notify us immediately.

What if I am unhappy with the number of meetings I receive?

ACI-NA will work directly with you to maximize your JumpStart experience. If you are still unhappy with your preliminary meeting schedule, ACI-NA will offer you a full refund.

Why is there a Consultant Member registration fee?

Consultants are charged a premium registration fee when representing airport clients. ACI-NA staff work with consultants to ensure that schedules are maintained, updated and that they avoid airport-airline meeting scheduling conflicts.

What if my airport is interested in hosting JumpStart in the future?

Please contact JumpStart@airportscouncil.org to express your interest. You can view the JumpStart host airport requirements here.
