These seminar comments focus on the role of airlines in airfield capacity development. They begin with the basic observation that airlines serve passengers, serving passengers requires facilities, and facilities require investment. The role of airlines is to: provide flight schedules to serve passenger demand; optimize use of existing capacity (infrastructure); compare the cost of the problem to the cost of the solution; and support (i.e., approve) viable capital improvements.
