Progress

Need evidence of change? Just look at my updated photo. What worked fine for years is no longer suitable. My wife said the old photo made it look like our son had become publisher. I got the point.  [more]


“If You Build It, They Will Come”...Works at Airfields, Too

Growth opportunities can emerge at any time, not just when business is booming. Quite frankly, some of the best ideas come when business is off and the pressure is on.   [more]


The Yin and Yang of Airport Security

With terrorists constantly changing their tactics, the need to continually update screening technology, procedures and systems seems obvious. But how we change them makes all the difference in the world. It can make everyone safer or devastate our entire airport system.   [more]

Planning on Uncertainty

In planning and designing airport terminals, there are no static certainties. Technology, facility and operational requirements are constantly evolving. Add peak-hour capacity criteria, passenger service metrics and expected facility lives of 40 to 50 years, and you have challenges better suited to fortunetelling.  [more]

Runway Risks: Where the Rubber Hits the Road

On the surface, it looks simple. Airports pave thin strips of real estate for aircraft to land on, and pilots check their books to make sure those strips are long enough and properly equipped for their particular aircraft. The only way for things to turn out poorly is if someone messes up, right?  [more]

The Benign Neglect of Our Nation's Aviation System

As one who has been a devout student and player in our nation's transportation policy and politics, I call on the U.S. Senate to pass the Aviation Reauthorization legislation.  [more]

AIRPORT IMPROVEMENT Webinars

Mobile Workforce Solutions

SITA

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010 - 11:00am EDT

The air transport industry (ATI) is characterized by a constantly mobile workforce and a complex, dynamic workflow model, requiring workers to access and act on real-time information. In today's environment, however, many processes on the ground are still static, paper-based, and not as efficient as they could be - since they are unable to leverage the power of the information locked in ATI applications and systems.

The answer is a new breed of mobile workforce solutions that can deliver the right information at the right time to mobile field workers – using applications which can anticipate their needs and requirements based on a number of context parameters (such as 'state-of-the-process', location, time, staff certification, network-type, etc).

The Webinar covered all aspects of developing, deploying and supporting mobile workforce solutions. There was also a question & answer session.

This webinar was held June 22nd, 2010.

Morpho

The adoption of the TSA's Planning Guidelines and Design Standards coupled with the development of new and innovative Explosive Detection Systems (EDS), such as our CTX product line, are influencing the way Architects and Engineers design efficient and state-of-the-art Baggage Handling Systems (BHS).

During this Webinar, architects, engineers, airport officials, and airline officials have the opportunity to hear about the new CTX technology and its impact on BHS designs to improve overall baggage screening efficiency.

The Webinar will cover product overviews and integration improvements that will provide additional explanation to the TSA PGDS to enhance existing and future designs. There will be a question & answer portion as well. You and your colleagues are encouraged to join the Webinar so Morpho Detection (former GE) can help support state-of-the-art systems.

This webinar was held May 6th, 2010.

Free Webinar: Innovative Airport Financing

Infrastructure improvement is always costly. In trying economic times, securing required financing can be downright impossible. This is particularly true when the total costs and returns of large projects are often difficult to estimate...and equally difficult to quantify and contain. Energy consumption and conservation occurs at every level within a facility - and any can be a source of expense or savings.

But how much? And when?

In this FREE one-hour webinar, our panel of experts will discuss new and innovative financing approaches for airport construction and renovation projects as well as strategies for managing the hidden costs associated with facility disruption and flow transition. The assembled team of panelists are experienced in all aspects of airport infrastructure and facilities management. From project planning and financing through execution and analysis, these experts are willing to share their strategies for repeatedly producing results.

Join in on this FREE discussion Tuesday March 9th at 10:30 AM (EST) and hear how leading professionals infuse a nuts-and-bolts approach to accessing and implementing big-picture facility improvement projects.

This webinar was held March 9th, 2010.

Land Mobile Radio at your airport

FREE ONE-HOUR WEBINAR - Land Mobile Radio at your airport – gearing up for the digital switch. Hosted by AirportImprovement

Not long ago, airports and airlines had limited choices for wireless communications systems. But now, with widespread use of digital technology, rapid feature development, regulatory changes, and the emergence of voice and data applications tailored to wireless systems, the range of technologies and alternative solutions available is staggering.

The advanced features of computer-aided dispatch, in-vehicle report writing, and the instant access to applications have improved productivity.

  Sponsored by:
 SITA is the world's leading specialist in air transport communication and information technology (IT) solutions. Working closely with the air transport community, we innovate and develop IT applications and communication services across every aspect of the business.

Older communications systems used by many airlines and airports are not only limited in capability, but unable to expand or readily communicate with users/facilities in other locations. Added to this complexity are the changes to the spectrum with bandwidth being squeezed down and the requirement to be digital by 2013, which means a large investment for analog customers. 

To address these shortfalls, many users are forced to consider building a new system.  Smart systems planning is critical to constructing a new land mobile radio (LMR) system successfully in order to avoid significant delays and cost overruns.

This webinar was held September 22nd, 2009.
