Preparing an Airport for the Olympic Games: Athens

The purpose of this paper is to highlight the importance of contingency planning of airport that needs to be developed for logistical and maintenance operation, through a multi-layered study, published in the Journal of Air Transport and European Journal of Transport and Infrastructure

The scope of this paper is to present the challenges involved, as far as transportation infrastructure, operations and management are concerned, in enabling the successful deployment of a worldwide event, such as the Olympic Games. It also describes the preparations undertaken by Attica Tollway Operations Authority prior to the Olympic Games. The important role of the Attica Tollway for the overall success of the Athens 2004 Olympic transportation services is also presented. Attica Tollway Operations Authority faced many challenges in having to manage the freeway traffic for an event of unprecedented proportions.

Although airline strategies will be the main drivers of traffic evolution, the airports are by no means passive, and their own strategies will have an impact on airline behavior and route development. The FAST project methodology analyzes the potential evolution of airport strategies in the next decade according to a typology of airports that was designed for this purpose. It also analyses the potential impacts of future strategies on traffic distribution at airports. I.

This paper seeks to identify areas that a few major and advanced airports have been progressing in the development of their operations and it compares these initiatives and their effectiveness. The paper will use objective reports from I.C.A.O., and third parties, individual airport reports and statistical data from these reports. Ultimately, recommendations will be given for continuation of initiatives and for improvement, if gaps have been observed, in order to increase efficiency in general areas of safety, productivity, security and any legal concepts, policies or procedures, efficiency, sustainability and management of limited resources such as: labor, energy, water, waste, land and capital or simply known as the contribution to 'People, Planet and Profit.' Statement of the Proposal The purpose of this paper is to compare the type of airport operations inclusive of their effectiveness, safety, productivity, sustainability and legality to the application that they are being used for. This is an individual project done for the completion of a Bachelor's in Aeronautics with minors in Airport Management and Aviation and Aerospace Safety.

The global air transport industry is expanding rapidly. New approaches to airport management are required to ensure that ever-increasing consumer demand is met with adequate developments of ground operational and processing facilities; particularly those related to effective and safe processing of passenger flows. The solution to this

This paper addresses the interaction between airports and airline companies taking into account the evolution of air transport in the last decades and an approach to integrated quality of service. Traditionally airport management, just like all transport infrastructure management, use to look at airlines as their primary customers, due to their legally binding agreements and because airlines pay for several charges, such as landing and parking fees, charges per passenger or tonne of freight handled, etc. Airlines, in turn, have legally binding agreements with passengers and look at passengers as their primary clients. In their unconscious business models airports used to see themselves as providers of an high technological demanding infrastructure, of national strategic interest, for very sophisticated operations where safety played both a very distinguished and distinct role. This paper challenges this traditional airport model and discusses a renewed business model for airports. This renewed model maintains the key functions of an airport but is built in the concept of quality of service as an interactive process that encompasses all agents engaged in the provision of the service.

Airport terminals have dramatically changed after September 11th, primarily due to the tightened security measures. These changes had a major impact on passenger arrival patterns, passenger flows, space allocation, processing times, and waiting times. In turn, it impacted a terminal's performance, levels of service, and the overall passenger experience. Airport planners and decision makers required a decision support tool that can quickly evaluate the impact of the often changing security regulations and the decisions to counterpart these changes on the airport's level of service. The intellectual focus of this paper is to present the methodology and the generic tool that will quantify and assess passenger flow in airport terminal functional areas and relate these requirements to the airport's key performance indicators and level of service.
