Airport Operations
Airport Operations
I am extremely delighted to be here to share with you the topic of my team related
to all possible costs to run an existing airport
Maybe, you have just listened 4 members in my group analyzing about some cost
factors to run an existing airport.
What I like to present to you today is the final element. It is the cost for operating
the airport. This is also the section which we have to invest the most money.
AIRPORT OPERATIONS
Operating expenses are all of those costs associated with the actual operation of the
airport. These costs may include labor, supplies, utility, and maintenance costs that are
incurred on a day-to-day basis. These costs will fluctuate considerably according to
geographic region, the structure of the airport and,…. in the cost of operating at the
airport, my group would like to divide the costs to serve 4 purposes
I’ll start off by talking about …
1. SAFETY
Public Protection
Employee Protection
Every efficient and safe operation involves adequate employee training and safety
programs. Each airport operator should establish initial and recurrent training for every
employee .
Notice to Airmen
The Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) system was established to provide timely information
to aircraft operators to describe conditions on or around the airport that may affect
aircraft operations.
2. MAINTENANCE
Maintenance Equipment
Each airport should keep an inventory of current equipment and desired future
equipment needed to safely and efficiently maintain the airport property.
Landside Maintenance
Airport maintenance includes the landside, or pedestrian side, of the airfield as well.
Routine inspections should cover public areas such as buildings, sidewalks, roadways,
and parking lots. Special attention should be given to safety-related items, especially
during construction and adverse weather conditions.
As you know, safety is the core and play a crucial role for aviation, so in the cost of
operation I will talk about security factor. since it helps to guarantee the safe.
3. SECURITY
The public’s common notion of airport security tends to revolve around screening
commercial airline passengers and preventing terrorist activity.
The results are ranked as follows: 1. Wildlife, 2. Vandalism, 3. Theft, 4.
Accidental airfield incursions by the public, 5. Terrorism, and 6. Unreasonable
response time from local authorities.
Emergency preparedness will be the final
4. EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS.
Statistics show the greatest potential for aircraft accidents occurs during the
landing or departure operation of the flight. A high percentage of all aircraft
accidents occur on or near the airport property, but accidents may occur at any
time or any place.
before ending my team's video on this topic, I'll give a concluding section to
summarize the content .
Conclusion:
This budgeting normally involves anticipating expenses for both operating and non-
operating expenses .But in general, all costs for an existing airport such as airport
operation, public relations, ... to serve the maintenance of effective operation of all areas
at the airport, in which the cost for airport operation is the most important. Besides,
financial policy at an airport can serve for financial investment activities and generate
profits for business such as aviation and non-aviation services at an airport.
