Course Intent
Airports provide the major infrastructure used in the provisions of commercial airline services. Globally, there are us$300 billion invested in airport infrastructure, compared with $550b invested by airlines and aircraft lessors. The facilities at an airport determine what types of aircraft an airline can operate. Airports are usually the largest single pieces of real estate in their urban region and they have many impacts on their communities. Thus airport planning is important not only for the airport, but also for their airline customers and their communities. Airlines must do business with the airport operating company at each station that it services. For Turkish Airlines, that means that in addition to its global hub at Istanbul Ataturk Airport, it will have business relationships with 260 other airports. While in the past, airports were thought of as government public utilities, today all airports are operated as businesses, with an increasing number of these businesses being private sector companies. This course is intended to give aviation managers an understanding of the airport business, how airports operate and key aspects of airport planning.
