Airport Ownership and Airport Design


Hello,

Today we'll be discussing two major questions: airport ownership and airport design. Consider the two questions below:

A) Who owns and who operates airports worldwide?

B) What are the two operational designs for airports? Discuss which one you think is better and why?

Kind regards,
Ralitza

  1. Nowadays most airports are operated by ^COGO^ model but, there are some countries like the US and Canada are under government control model. Although, the shops and facilities these airports could be leased out to private companies. Most employees work for private companies except 10%. In the future governments who run the airport going to privatization.

  2. There are two types of terminal for the airport, Centralized and decentralized. Centralized is an airport with only one terminal but, the decentralized airport is an airport with more than one terminal with different facilities.
    I prefer the decentralized airport because it can cop with big amount of passengers compared to centralized which is very crowded and noisy. The decentralized airports provide more comfort for VIP people who wants extra comfort and better services.

  3. The ownership and operation of the airports around the world usually follow government owned company operated model. Approximately, around 90% of the people who work in any airport work in any companies. The remaining 10% for the government. However, there are 2 exception for that , Canada, and US.

    Canada, and US are followed by different rule, wich is the airports are owned and operated by the government entity.

    there are two design of airport. One is Centralized wich has one terminal with all passengers are processed. the other is Cecentralized has more than prodessing facilities.

  4. The most common model is GOCO, government owned company operated and the most airports are under GOCO. For example BAA and Fraport are companies that operate airports, but there are airport that are operated by government entity, for example Canada and US. Also there most employees work for private companies while about 10% of the airport staff works for the government.
    There are two different layouts designs of airport. Centralised model that airport has only one terminal where all passengers are processed. Another model is decentralised an airport with more than one terminal and each terminal has a complete set of processing facilities and it has built on a humen scale. There are examples of centratised model, Bahrain airport (BAH) and Doha airport (DOH) until recently. The example of other model is Paris Charles De Gaulle (CDG), Dubai airport (DXB) and Hong Kong (HKG). I think decentralised model is best ,because the passengers feel comfortable and it easy to process

  5. This days there are so many airports under (GOCO) government owned company and the facilites could be lease out privte companys some of them like the US and Canada are under the the government control model are two types terminals for the airport centerlized and decentralize. The decenteralized are airports with more then one terminal and different facilities , and the centralized airports are airports with only one terminal. I prefer the decentralized airports beacuse it has a different facilities and many terminals for passengers compared to centralized wich is very noise and crowded. the decentralized provide more comfortable for Vip who wants extra comfort and better service.

  6. The two popular models are GOCO and government entity. The most common model is GOCO it used worldwide. Next the most popular model in US and in Canada. The GOCO operated by company. Airports are owend by the government but operated by a private company. Examples of this arrangemrnt are BAA and Fraport.



    There are two airport design with centralized and decentralized facilities. the design is operated modles. Centralized is one terminal where all passengers are processed. Until 1960s the old airport it can not copo with the growth in passengers numbers.The government start too think about bulding more terminals so it called the decentralized. The decentralized is more than one terminal and it need more stafe to operat decentralized. It buld for a human scalle. I think the decntralized is the most important than centralized.

  7. There are two design for the airport , centralized and decentralized. The centralized has one terimerl for passengers. The decentralized airport has more than one terimer for passengers.
    In my opinion I think the centralized is better, because the passengers can more efficiently and these airports are more cost effective to build and operate.

  9. THERE ARE TWO AIRLINES DESIGEN WITH CENTARLISE AND DESCENTARLISED FACILITIES.CENTARLISED ONE OF THE POPULER MODELS IN THE WORLD BUT NOT ANYMORE BECUSE THE NUMBER OF PASSENGERS INCRESED RECENTLY.SO GOVERMENT START TO THINK ABOUT BULDING NEW TERMINALS.WTICH IS CALLED DESCENTARLISED MODELS.THIS WILL DECRESE THE PASSENGER CONGESTION AND THEY FELL COMFORTABLE.
    I THINK DESCENTARLIISED MODELS IS BATTER THAN CENTARLIESD MODELS AS CAN WE SEE MOST AIRPORTS CHANGE FROM CENTARLISED TO DESCENTARLISED.ALSO IT RUDUES THE PASSENGER CONGESTION.

  10. Most airports in the world are operated by COGO. There are some countries like the US and Canada are under government control mode. There are to type of design airport and they are centralized and decentralized. Centralized has one terminal where the passenger can processing and check-in. The decentralized airport is an airport with more than one terminal with more facilities.

    I think that decentralized is the best. Because there is small crowded and wide for people to walk and it will be quiet.
