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 w…
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 enta…

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 …

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 …
Without question, modern airports face many demands. They must promote safety above all else, but airports are increasingly considered to be drivers of local economies, promoters of “green†energy production and other environmental initiatives, and, at times, sites for the conservation of rare species (Blackwell et al. 2009, DeVault et al. 2012). The demands confron…
This book is intended for all those readers who are interested in the analysis and planning of airports. In particular, the book focuses on the most important aspects of analysis, such as congestion and delays of users, aircraft/flights or atm (air transport movements), passengers, air cargo shipments, demand, capacity, and the outcome from their dynamic interactions. With such scope, the book …
