Developing and Maintaining Support for New Airport Capacity

摘要

Successful delivery of new airport capacity projects-runway creation and extension, airspace improvements, terminal expansion, and ground access improvements-depends on support from airport sponsors, political constituencies, airport users, interest groups, regulatory agencies, and nearby communities. Efforts to identify, maintain, and broaden support-while dealing constructively with project opposition-should start early and continue at each critical stage, from planning to regulatory approval to financing. Research can help identify useful lessons on developing and maintaining airport capacity project support and can provide guidance to airports.
