Airports are crucial nodes for passenger and cargo throughput. This course takes a detailed look at the various aspects that affect demand, supply, market equilibrium and airport competitiveness. Special attention is devoted to the identification and quantification of mutual relationships between all actors operating in airport environments, including airport authorities, carriers, goods-handlers, agents, fuel suppliers and concession holders.
