Airport Economics: Managing Aviation Operations," authored by Peter Forsyth, Cathal Guiomard, and Hans-Martin Niemeier, is a comprehensive guide designed for airport and airline managers, regulators, educators, and students in air transport management. This accessible resource offers a detailed examination of the economic principles underlying airport operations, making it valuable for both industry professionals and those new to the field.
The book explores airport cost structures and their impact on setting airport charges, analyzing variations caused by traffic types, input costs, production methods, and efficiency. It discusses the predominance of public ownership and regulation in airports, while also addressing the growing trend toward privatization. The authors evaluate regulatory frameworks, emphasizing a shift toward lighter regulation and increased competition where feasible.
Key challenges such as limited airport capacity are addressed through discussions on slot allocation, charging mechanisms, and the importance of long-term infrastructure investment. Additionally, the book considers environmental issues, including noise pollution and aviation’s role in climate change, highlighting strategies airports can adopt to mitigate these impacts.
Published by Routledge in English, this first edition eBook serves as an essential introductory text for understanding the economics of airports within the broader air transport system.
