Abstract
The consideration of airport lanside capacity and operations relies on 2 points: (a) the identification of the key economic and financial issues related to airport landside investment and operations and (b) the analysis of these issues as they concern both long-term and short-term decision making. Although the principles and issues identified and analyzed are broad and have general applicability, this discussion will be stated in terms that are most relevant for U.S. airport development. In the United States, almost all carrier-served facilities are operated by public authorities of one sort or another, and no single airport operator controls any great proportion of total national airport capacity. The economic and financial issues to be considered relate to both the establishment of new airport landside facilities and the expansion or modification of the capacity of existing airport landside installations. /Author/
