ach day airport sponsors and management staff are challenged with an increasing range of operational, financial and environmental issues affecting their airport. Changes in air service, political climate, environmental compliance, residential encroachment and budget constraints hinder progress. At the same time, technological advances in satellite navigation, increasing corporate jet fractional ownership, Next-Gen aircraft development and the small aircraft transportation system (SATS) offer exciting opportunities for an airport’s future.
