About This Book
Airport design and operation are always closely related. A poor design affects the airport operations, resulting in increased costs, and a sound understanding of operation is needed to enable good design. The aim of this third edition is to present an updated and integrated approach to the two. The chapters have been enhanced to reflect changes in technology and the way the air transport industry functions. Key topics that are newly addressed in this book include low cost airline operations, security issues and EASA regulations on airports. A new chapter covering extended details about wildlife control has been added to the volume.

Most
recent
changes
to
airports
have
not
been
provoked
by
new
aircraft
technology
but
by
political
and
economic
developments.
The
airport
situation
in
Europe
has
changed
considerably
since
the
1960s.
The
airport
in
the
past
was
a
‘shop-window’
of
the
state,
and
together
with
the
national
flag
carrier,
it
is
also
an
instrument
to
enforce
state
policy.
After
the
successful
corporatisation
and
then
the
privatisation
of
the
British
Airport
Authority
and
some
other
airports,
many
governments
have
gradually
changed
their
policy
towards
airports,
particularly
in
regard
to
subsidy.
The
following
important
factors
influenced
the
entire
development
of
airports
from
1975
to
2014:
1.
The
threat
of
terrorism
and
a
fear
of
unlawful
acts.
2.
The
privatisation
of
airports.
3.
The
progressive
deregulation
of
air
transport.
4.
The
increasing
environmental
impact
around
airports.
5.
Growth
of
low-cost
carriers.
