Abstract:

Airport organization is discussed, special attention being given to the structure of landside management. The past structures of airport management are surveyed, the origin of the structures of these organizations is explained, and ways the structures have evolved from 1940 to the present are discussed. With this background the results of a recent U.S. survey on current airport organizational structures are presented as they pertain to ground transportation management. Organizational literature and theory are discussed as they pertain to the potential development of airport organizational structure; specifically, four evolutionary stages of ground transportation management are proposed. It is suggested that airport ground transportation officials are represented inadequately in the management of U.S. airports as depicted by their representation in the organizational charts. However, this is changing as the management of landside activities receives more attention and resource prominence within the overall management of modern airport complexes.
