Course Intent
Airports provide the major infrastructure used in the provision of commercial airline services. 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. They also often require huge investments of funds and resources. Thus airport planning is important not only for the airport, but also for their airline customers and the communities they serve. 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 key aspects of airport planning and of how airports are operated and managed as economic entities.
