Report:
The Air Transport Research Society (ATRS) is pleased to announce the publication of the 2007 ATRS Global Airport Performance Benchmarking Report. The report measures and compares the comprehensive performance of three aspects of airport operation: Productivity and Efficiency, Unit Cost, and Financial Results, for up to 90 airports in Asia Pacific, Europe and North America. It also examines the relationships between various performance measures and airport characteristics in order to better understand the observed differences in airport performance. The report is intended to assist airport managers and investors/owners to assess the performance of their airports in relation to the best industry practices, and to assist aviation analysts, regulators, and consultants to monitor and measure the performance of the airports of particular interest to them.
