Course Goals
Students will learn a variety of organizational, financial and contractual
management strategies and obligations associated with the administration of
commercial service, public use airports in the United States. This course is
designed for students who have a basic understanding of airport operations
or management through experience or other relevant coursework, and will
build upon that knowledge by analyzing opportunities, obligations, and
strategies utilized by commercial service airports. Managers must assess the
financial performance of a commercial service airport and suggest measures
to enhance that performance.

Discussions
Participation is an integral part of learning in this course, and you are
encouraged and expected to participate in online discussions. Discussions
are the “community space” for interacting with the instructor and fellow
classmates to explore questions and comments related to the module topics.
Responses should be based on information presented in the course as well as
personal knowledge and experience. Discussions include a substantial initial
posting and at least two substantive replies.
Assignments
Assignments should follow the Assignment Guidelines listed in the course
unless otherwise specified. Don't forget the basics, spelling, grammar,
format, and proofreading.
Concept Maps
Understanding and communicating important concepts and their connections
and relationships can provide students with the insight and intuition needed
in today's aviation industry. For each assignment, you will select five of the
most important concepts introduced in the module and create/add to your
concept map. The intent of these assignments is for you to be able to
illustrate what you have learned in each module by showing how the main
concepts covered in the activities and research are related to and/or are
connected to other terms in this course. These assignments are graded on
your ability to assess and to visually communicate what you have learned.
These assessments are similar to traditional essay quizzes or exams but
different from other quizzes or exams with correct/incorrect answers. If you
have any questions, please reach out to your instructor for clarification or
post a discussion in the student lounge (your classmates may share the
same questions).
You will build on this concept map throughout the course, adding new
content from the module and how it changed or reinforced your thinking.
Your illustrative graphic should have a descriptive narrative that
accompanies it that would allow people with disabilities to access the
content of the illustration via narration.
Group Project
An airport manager proposes an innovative finance plan to address the
persistent airport problems of capacity, congestion, crowded gates, unclean
passenger areas, aircraft emissions, and continuous runway infrastructure
projects due to capacity.
You are then asked to work as a team with your co-workers to prepare the
Draft Airline Service Level Agreement, the Draft Rate Structure and
Implementation Procedures, the Draft Performance Measures and
Calculations used to measure these actions, a brief Risk Analysis and
determine the possible consequences of these actions (both pro and con), a
brief statement about any lessons that may be learned from other airports
observing the airports' actions, and your recommended action, either accept
or decline the proposal or a new solution.
