This textbook is about aviation operations: the organizations and infrastructure in which commercial aircraft operate between airports, providing connections to society with the aim to earn profits. It is about rules, markets, suppliers, airports, airlines, money, people, politics and the aircraft itself. Aviation operations is a sector in which commercial aircraft are operated, deployed, assig…
The European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation (Eurocontrol) took up this topic in the Challenges of Growth project and concluded that À depending on scenario assumptions À the European network will be unable to accommodate nearly two million flights in the year 2035 due to airport capacity constraints. The institutional interest in the capacity issue concurred with our rese…
In addition to updating with incident descriptions and references from mostly the last 10 years, this version is different in two major ways. First, I have reorganized the writing into seven main sections (including a definitive introduction and conclusion containing new material) rather than two parts (A and B). While reading the fifth edition in 2017— when I began the revision process …
The crucial need for aviation development was emphasized again by ICAO’s third annual World Aviation Forum in November 2017, due to its overall positive impact and economic benefits. The industry’s success in terms of healthy growth rates, however, is a burden at the same time. Addressing the resulting air navigation and airport infrastructure requirements entails massive capital …

The GARS workshops and the Hamburg Aviation Conference, which is the predecessor of the European Aviation Conference, created a network of academics, regulators, industry managers and consultants who were fascinated by aviation and who shared a desire for a forum that would allow serious discussions of airport issues. This group further expanded, which explains why our list of acknowledgements …
I’m grateful for the assistance and guidance of my two editors, Peter Bruce and John King, Greg Fordham, Principal of AirBiz, for making the initial introductions, Kerr Lammie and Martin Lephoron of AirBiz too for their suggestions, Mike Webber for his helpful comments on the cargo chapter and Paul Cheng from the Airport Authority of Hong Kong for his help on understanding the Pearl Rive…
Chapter One summarizes research on the seismic performance of air traffic control (ATC) towers, discusses their shortcomings and puts forward recommendations for future studies. Chapter Two covers the construction of an airport for the capital of Germany that has an erratic history dating back to the early nineties. During the long planning period, the employment impacts of a major airport play…
The applications of the traditional asphalt pavement materials and technologies in road and airport engineering have been known for many years. However, some recent innovations in new materials and evaluation technologies have effectively provided the practical knowledge and experiences for the pavement engineers and researchers and will potentially result in much durable and safer highway and …
