This paper provides a summary overview of the current issues that have been identified by the aviation community in the areas of airport planning, design, and construction. The process used to identify these major issues was outlined and discussed during the proceedings of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) International Air Transportation Conference in Austin, Texas, in 1998. Emerging issues are put into their proper context by looking at the following fundamental trends that are being faced by the airport and aviation industry: Changes in the airline industry, including route structures and airline hubbing; Continuing growth in the airline passenger and air cargo markets; Government downsizing and increased focus on public-private partnerships; and Growth in the global economy and a changing worldwide political environment.
