Review

"This book addresses many crucial and challenging issues in the development of airports. It does so in a way which is both authoritative and accessible to a broad range of readers. It is admirably lucid and yet at the same time takes the reader quite a long way into the problems involved in managing airports. The comparisons presented are especially useful."

Pat Hanlon, Senior Lecturer, University of Birmingham, UK.
