The World of Airports: Don’t Fence Me In

Air cargo is currently booming, but this success has come at a price – congested airports with little room for growth, fewer parking slots for trucks and freighters, and higher fuel costs. Clearly, the industry cannot simply grow its way out of these problems.

Here are a few examples of possible solutions:

• Asia’s airports keep expanding, as regional competition intensifies
• The European model: smarter, not larger
• Could a second-tier U.S. airport be the answer?
• Efficiency advice from one of the world’s largest ground handlers
