Synopsis

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.

Review:

Dr Caves and Dr Kazda provide essential guidance for both seasoned and emerging airport professionals. Their in-depth assessment of the challenges faced in airport design and operations is to be commended, reflecting their vast combined experience. --Mike Pearson, Director, Helios

Airport Design and Operation provides a wealth of information that can only lead to improved airport design and operation. The content of this book is valuable providing an opportunity for industry to extract such information and implement in real life. The end result will be improved efficiencies in the transportation sector. --John G. Wensveen, Ph.D., Head of Aviation Technology & Professor, Purdue University, USA

This book provides detailed rules, regulations and practical views for the development and operation of an airport. As well as an interesting read, the book is a must for all people engaged in airport operation and planning. -- Peter Mayerhofer, Chief Infrastructure Officer of AMG (Airport Management Group) Kazakhstan ----- Every airport is unique, so they cannot offer a set of instructions to particular problems, say Kazda and Caves, but they explain principles and relationships important for the design of airport facilities, for airport management, and for the safe and efficient control of operations. Among their topics are air transport and airports, airport site selection and runway system orientation, runway strips and other areas, aprons, aircraft ground handling, passenger terminals, landside access, visual aids for navigation, airport winter operation, airport emergency services, and wildlife control. Distributed in North America by Turpin Distribution. --Annotation ©2015 Ringgold Inc. Portland, OR (protoview.com)
