Editorial Reviews

Based on 20 years of research by the Transport Studies Group at the Polytechnic of Central London, focuses on the economic and financial aspects of managing an airport as a commercial venture. Increasingly, airports worldwide are becoming more than a minor function of government and left to their own fate, but managers are finding little expertise to draw on to learn how to make the business work. Among the topics are cost and revenue structures, aeronautical charges and pricing policies, commercial strategies, and monitoring performance and efficiency. Acidic paper. Paper edition (08117-3), $25. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
