24 June 2026

Prague: The European airport trade association, ACI EUROPE, yesterday elected Stefan Schulte for a second term as its President.

Schulte, the CEO of Fraport AG, was re‑elected during ACI EUROPE’s 36th Annual Congress and General Assembly, hosted by Prague Airport.

Remarking on his re‑election, Stefan Schulte said: “I am honoured that ACI EUROPE and its members have reaffirmed their confidence in my leadership for a second term, extending my tenure for another year. As Europe’s airports face the need to decouple their financial viability and investment capabilities from volume growth, I will continue to do my utmost during this critical time to represent our airport community – from major hubs to vital smaller regional airports – while championing the interests of all our members.”

During this year’s General Assembly, the following airport leaders were also appointed to the Board of ACI EUROPE for a first term: Mr George Kallimasias, CEO, Athens International Airport (Greece); Ms Eleni Kaloyirou, CEO, Hermes Airports (Cyprus); Mr Nazareno Ventola, CEO, Bologna Airport (Italy); Mr Arnaud Feist, CEO, Brussels Airport (Belgium); Mr Rémi Maumon de Longevialle, CEO, VINCI Airports (France); Mr Pieter van Oord, CEO, Royal Schiphol Group (the Netherlands); Mr Andrew Bell, CEO, Regional & City Airports (United Kingdom); Mr Mats Johannesson, CEO, Swedavia (Sweden).

Appointed to the Board for a second term were Ms Aletta von Massenbach, CEO, Berlin Brandenburg Airport (Germany) and Mr Thomas Woldbye, CEO, London Heathrow Airport (United Kingdom).
