Overview
In Airport Management, you will gain insights into the major issues and planning considerations relevant to airport management. Key planning considerations for contemporary airports, including runway and taxiway design, airfield and airspace design and capacity, as well as operational aspects including risk management, adverse weather, ground handling operations, airfield technology (including navigation aids), and airport community relations, will be addressed. This unit also provides a framework for understanding how airports function, the many demands placed upon airport professionals by a wide range of stakeholders, and what is needed for airports to be successful at both an operational and business level.
