Airport Industry Familiarization and Training for Part-Time Airport Policy Makers
- Share to:
The administration and governance of an airport can prove quite challenging to a newly appointed policy maker or an airport manager without previous airport experience. While many serving in these roles possess some aviation experience or business background, few assume these positions with a broad understanding of the myriad of issues that affect the operation, maintenance, and development of aviation facilities.
In order to be effective and engaged, it is vital for an airport policy maker to understand the scope and magnitude of federal, state, and local issues that affect and influence the delivery of aviation services in their communities. This document is designed to offer policy makers and administrators with a concise, yet thorough, overview of these broad issues in order to provide context and orientation to their roles and responsibilities. Moreover, it serves as a means to underscore the fact that effective policy makers generally embrace the value of their airport and willingly serve as an advocate for its mission and success. This advocacy occurs in concert with the need for policy makers to support airport management; to understand, expect, and acknowledge the need for sound fundamental business practices in the delivery of airport services; and to garner an appreciation and respect for the many rules and regulations that govern airport activities.
