Traffic Services

Airlines

• An organization that provides scheduled

flights for passengers or cargo.

AIR TRAFFIC SERVICES

• Air traffic services help in navigating aircraft while landing, taking off, flying in the air, over-flying any country, taxing on the ground and parking

• They provide a discipline in the air and also on the ground and maintain safety

• The services are provided by using modern equipment including radars

REGULATION AND POLICIES

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).

The International Civil

Aviation Organization

• The International Civil Aviation Organization

(ICAO), an agency of the United Nations,

codifies the principles and techniques of

international air navigation and fosters the

planning and development of international air

transport to ensure safe and orderly

growth.

REGULATION AND POLICIES

International Airports

• An international airport has direct service to many other

airports.

• Handle scheduled commercial airlines both for

passengers and cargo.

• Many international airports also serve as "HUBS", or

places where non-direct flights may land and passengers

switch planes.

• Typically equipped with customs and immigration

facilities to handle international flights to and from other

countries.

• Such airports are usually larger, and often feature longer

runways and facilities to accommodate the large aircraft.

Incheon International Airport

Domestic Airports

• A domestic airport is an airport which handles only

domestic flights or flights within the same country.

• Domestic airports don't have customs and immigration

facilities and are therefore incapable of handling flights

to or from a foreign airport.

• These airports normally have short runways which are

sufficient to handle short/medium haul aircraft.

Regional Airports

• A regional airport is an airport serving traffic within a

relatively small or lightly populated geographical area.

• A regional airport usually does not have customs and

immigration facilities to process traffic between

countries.

• Aircraft using these airports tend to be smaller business

jets or private aircraft (general aviation).

Regional Airports

Louisiana Regional Airport, US

Airport Ownerships

• Most of the world’s airports are owned by

government bodies who then lease the airport

to private corporations who oversee the

airport’s operation.

• For example, In Malaysia, airport are

authorized by Malaysia Airport Holding

Berhad (MAHB).

• MAHB responsible is to focus on the operations, management and maintenance of Malaysia airports.

How are airports managed?

• There are several divisions to manage each sub

organizations at an airport.

• These divisions including

• Airport operation services (security, fire & rescue

& maintenance)

• Airport planning and development (engineering)

• Airport financial (revenues, business)

• The primary objective of each division is to ensure

the operational efficiency, safety and security of

passengers, cargo and aircraft operations.
