KembaraXtra – Travel Terms: ACC
This acronym is defined with four meanings: (1) a shipping term meaning accepted or acceptance; (2) Accredited Cruise Counsellor, a North American cruising qualification where a travel agency employee is certified by CLIA, with CLIA’s website referenced; (3) Area Control Centre, an air travel term describing a control centre; and (4) Airport Consultative Committee, an official IATA term. For Airport Consultative Committees, the entry explains that powers vary by country but they are usually advisory bodies representing users and affected parties such as local authorities; in some countries they have statutory powers, and most UK airports are obliged under the Civil Aviation Act to operate such a committee. The entry notes that new committee guidelines were issued by the UK Department of Transport after the “Future of Aviation” White Paper in December 2003, encouraging committees to publicise their work more widely, leading to a supporting website offering information on guidelines and airport issues at national and EU level. It also states that the Liaison Group of the UK ACC was formed in 1980, comprising officers of committees at the 22 largest UK airports, and references the organization’s website
