Airport and Airline Relationships
Airports have become market driven businesses which require business oriented leadership and organization. There is a need for the development of a strategic plan for the organization through air service development, aeronautical fee management as well as commercial revenue maximization and the management and control of capital and operational programs. From the perspective of the airlines, the airport is a point along their route system where there is enplaning, deplaning and transferring of passengers, cargo and freight. Airlines usually necessitate specific facilities and services at each airport with varied and unique requirements as requested by different airlines (Lee, Lavanya, Jacquillat, 2018).
Airport operators need to ensure that the demands of the airlines are met with the available resources. There are rapidly changing specifics for different airlines and airports usually find themselves constantly changing and refurbishing their facilities to meet the demands of the airlines. There is diligence and caution needed as airports accommodate the demands of airlines in that they do not stretch themselves thein and ensure that the landside facilities of the airport are utilized in an effective and efficient manner. Landside facilities can be seen as not important to the airlines but the way they are operated, they can hamper effective working of the airlines.
