Description
Book SynopsisThe role of an airport within the air transport system used to be largely incontestable. This book examines various pressures in order to identify changes that are required to the airport planning process. It discusses such issues as: forecasting in an uncertain world; airport market share; airline network choices; and more.

Hanlon One can already envisage the volume being used as a text for a course in Airport Planning (e.g., at M.Sc. level) and also as a research tool for people working in the industry. Altogether this is an excellent book. Everyone with a serious interest in air transport should have a copy on their shelves. It is extremely well referenced and indexed, which renders it user-friendly for both students and practitioners.
