The annual number of airline passengers has continued to increase in the past decade, putting great strain on the airports. Increasing volumes of passengers and freight will continue making demands for expansion of airport facilities and construction of new airports. Traditionally airport design and airport operation have been treated separately, yet they are closely related and influence each other. Poor design adversely affects operation; sound understanding of operation is needed to enable good design.The aim of this book is to present a new and integrated approach to the two. This second edition includes some important changes in the international regulations covering design and operations. It reflects the greater attention being given to security, safety and the environment, together with changes in the technology and the way the air transport industry operates. New sections on collaborative decision making and low visibility operations strengthen the operational character of this book. Two completely new chapters have been added covering the topical problems of cargo and radio navigation aids and the chapter on passenger terminals has been enhanced considerably.

Airport Design & Operation,
By
This review is from: Airport Design and Operation (Hardcover)
I am not pleased with this particular book for the following reasons:(a) It is expensive and not value for money compared with the other book (Airport Operations) I purchased at the same time for about 60% of the price of this book. (b) The quality of print is poor and it is just like making a photocopy of the original. The background of the table headings is not homogenous and appeared smudgy. (c) The content is not as good as the other book that I purchased and it contained less material. I expected it to be more than the other book. Regards Yeang Goh
