Managing Airport Investment Decisions

Paper Summary:

This paper examines the link that timing and scale have on investment at airports, particularly those in Australia. It analyses the affect that the complexity of airport operation has on development proposals and how airport managers must create investment rules, priority groups and networking teams to overcome specific problems in the airport management field. It also discusses how productive commercial relationships with airport customers, that is, airlines, are essential in determining precise requirements for airport development.

From the Paper:

"The potential investment at functioning airports is an inevitable challenge faced by airport managers at some stage of an airport's life. Although it might seem a case of traditional economic theory, investment in the development of airports is far more complex and multifarious (Lawrence, 1999). Investment in indivisible, capital assets such as runways and terminal buildings, requires meticulous preparation, research and industry consultation. This is for a number of reasons associated with factors attributed with both primary and secondary airports."
