State of Play

All too often when we look at our airports, businesses and industry, it's difficult to pinpoint when direction has changed or momentum has shifted. When did we fall into a recession and then climb out? When did sustainability become so important to airports? When did a $4.50 PFC become inadequate?  [more]


Goats, Horses & Tents

Just another day at the airport. What, you may ask, do goats, horses and tents have to do with running an airport? The answer is everything. Everything creative that is.   [more]


Kermit Was Wrong

We're heading into the 4th Quarter. The bottom hasn't dropped out of the industry. Rather we're moving on and doing what what's needed to grow and prosper. It has become abundantly clear that there is real growth and prosperity to be had.  [more]

Sharing Knowledge

Baggage systems are a key operating component of any airport and shouldn't be an afterthought. They should receive the same attention as runways, control towers and/or any other critical function that is at the heartbeat of an airport.   [more]

The Virtues of Transparency

We hear a lot about transparency lately, especially in light of the federal stimulus package that is introducing $787 billion into the national economy.  [more]

Airports Going Green

It has been an active and productive summer for the Chicago Department of Aviation.

AIRPORT IMPROVEMENT Webinars

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.
