Airport Operations

Changes in airport or airspace layout are almost inevitably associated with new operational concepts. Such new concepts of operation need to be analysed and evaluated extensively in order to evolve from several initial ideas to a single, mature operational concept ready for implementation. To support you, whether you are an airport operator or air navigation […]
