Human trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery. It involves recruitment, transportation, harbouring and/or exercising control, direction or influence over the movements of a person in order to exploit that person.

The ACI Combatting Human Trafficking Handbook draws on the experience of airports that have already taken action against human trafficking and provides guidance to airports on the options that may be available to assist. It is intended to provide clarity on the role of airports in combatting human trafficking and contains materials to assist them to play their part to the extent possible. This publication also promotes a comprehensive approach that involves coordination with industry stakeholders, airlines and law enforcement agencies (border-protection and customs agents), as well as engagement with the community.
