At head of title: Airport Cooperative Research Program.

This synthesis study is intended to inform airport operators, stakeholders, and policy makers about common use technology that enables an airport operator to take space that has previously been exclusive to a single airline and make it available for use by multiple airlines and their passengers. Common use is a fundamental shift in the philosophy of airport space utilization. It allows the airport operator to use existing space more efficiently, thus increasing the capacity of the airport without constructing new gates, concourses, terminals, or check-in counters. This synthesis was prepared to help airport operators, airlines, and other interested parties gain an understanding of the progressive path of implementing common use, noted as the common use continuum. It identifies advantages and disadvantages to airports and airlines, and touches on the effects of common use on the passenger. The information for the synthesis was gathered through a search of existing literature, results from surveys sent to airport operators and airlines, and through interviews conducted with airport operators and airlines.

Fully revised and updated to consider recent developments in the industry, the sixth edition of Managing Airports: An International Perspective provides comprehensive and cutting-edge insight into the processes behind running a successful airport. Logically structured and embellished with illustrative diagrams and tables throughout, this edition approaches management topics from a strategic and commercial perspective and provides an innovative and accessible understanding of how modern-day airports are operated. Containing a plethora of global case studies covering a range of different airports from many different parts of the world, the book maintains a balance between coverage of key principles and practice of airport management, together with thorough consideration of current and topical issues. This edition has been updated to include: • New content on the significant economic and operational impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global air transport industry, technological and digital advances, the changing air transport environment, airline developments, net zero goals and evolving markets. • Updated and expanded content on sustainability development and airports’ adoption of sustainable development goals, changes in airline business models, airport digital marketing, the passenger biometric airport journey and airport diversification strategies. • New and updated international case studies to show recent issues and theory in practice. International and multidisciplinary in approach, this edition is a vital resource for students, lecturers and researchers of transport and tourism, and practitioners within the air transport industry.

"ACRP Synthesis 72: Tabletop and Full-Scale Emergency Exercises for General Aviation, Non-Hub, and Small Hub Airports provides small airports with the tools and practices needed to practice emergency response. The report provides sample exercise tools and plans, a checklist of effective practices for tabletop and full-scale emergency exercises, and a road map for developing an effective exercise program."--Publisher's description.

TRB's Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) Synthesis 57: Airport Response to Special Events ". . .explores how airports plan, manage, and recover from special events in order to help minimize the event's effects on an airport's regular operations. The synthesis explores issues related to planning, organizing, and applying lessons learned, as well as addressing potential surprises and impacts on operations and customer services related to a variety of non-aeronautical events that occur both on and off an airport. ACRP Synthesis 57 offers six case examples designed to help demonstrate how airports of all sizes plan, manage, and recover from special events." -- Publisher's note.
