1. Commercial Service Airports

• Primary Airports
• Non-primary Airports

AIRPORT SYSTEMS
1. Commercial Service Airports

They are publicly owned airports that have at least 2,500 passenger boarding each calendar year and receive
scheduled passenger service.
a) Primary Airports
They are Commercial Service Airports that have more than 10,000 passenger boarding each year.
• Large Hub - Receives 1 percent or more of the annual U.S. commercial enplanements
• Medium Hub - Receives 0.25 to 1.0 percent of the annual U.S. commercial enplanements
• Small Hub - Receives 0.05 to 0.25 percent of the annual U.S. commercial enplanements
• Non Hub - Receives less than 0.05 percent but more than 10,000 of the annual U.S. commercial
enplanements
b) Non-primary Airports
They are Commercial Service Airports that have at least 2,500 and no more than 10,000 passenger
boarding each year.

2. Cargo Service Airports are airports that are served by aircraft providing air transportation
of only cargo with a total annual landing weight of more than 100 million pounds.
3. GA Airports do not have scheduled service or have less than 2,500 annual passenger
boarding. They are used exclusively by private business aircraft not providing commercial air
carrier passenger service
4. Reliever Airports are airports designated by the authority to relieve congestion at

Commercial Service Airports and to provide improved general aviation access to the overall
community. To be classified as a reliever airport, the airport must have at least 100 aircraft based
at the airport or handle at least 25,000 itinerant operations

AIRPORT ADMINISTRATION
Administrative Structure of Airports in Pakistan
1. Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (PCAA) Owned Airports

Examples: Jinnah International Airport (JIAP), Karachi, Allama Iqbal International
Airport (AIIAP), Lahore, Islamabad International Airport (IIAP), Islamabad etc.
2. Military Owned Airports

Examples: PAF Masroor Airbase (Karachi), Tarbela Ghazi Airbase (Haripur, KPK) etc.
3. Private Owned Airports

Example: Sialkot International Airport

Administrative Structure of Airports on International Level

1. Municipally Operated Airport
• A typical municipally operated airport is city owned and run as a department of the
city, with policy direction by the city council.
• Under this type of public operation, airport policy decisions are generally made in
the broader context of city or county public investment needs, budgetary
constraints, and development goals.
2. Port Authorities
• Some commercial airports in the US are run by multipurpose port authorities.
• They are legally chartered institutions with the status of public corporations that
operate a variety of publicly owned facilities, such as harbors, airports, toll roads,
and bridges. University of Management and Technology, Institute of Aviation Studies, BS.AM

3. Airport Authority
Similar in structure and in legal charter to port authorities, these single-purpose authorities also
have considerable independence from the state or local governments, which often retain
ownership of the airport or airports operated by the authority.
Example: Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (It operates Washington Reagan National
Airport and Washington Dulles International Airport), Dubai Airports Company
4. State-operated Airports
They are typically managed by the state's department of transportation.
Example: US Department of Transportation
5. Airport Privatization

COMPONENTS OF AN AIRPORT

12
Airport Sub-
Description
Components Components
It includes all the facilities located on the physical property of

Airfield
the airport to facilitate aircraft operations.
Airside
It is simply the area, off the ground, surrounding the airport,
Airspace where aircraft maneuver, after takeoff, prior to landing, or
even merely to pass through on the way to another airport.
It is primarily designed to facilitate the movement of

Terminal passengers and luggage from the landside to aircraft on the
airside.
Landside
It accommodates the movement of ground-based vehicles to
Ground Access and from the surrounding metropolitan area, as well as
between the various buildings found on the airport property

Airport Manager
• In early days of aviation, an individual could become an airport
manager if he or she was a pilot and had several years of experience
in some segment of the industry.
• Today an airport manager must be primarily a skilled and

experienced executive with a broad background in all areas of
aviation and management in general. It is no longer necessary for a
manager to be a pilot.

19

Things to Consider Regarding Title of Airport Manager
• Almost every airport manager’s job situation is unique because of
wide variety of size of airport and type of ownership and operation.
• There are also wide variations in government procedures in different

communities.
• This sometimes cause the responsibilities, salaries and authority of

airport manager to be completely different from one another.
• Even the job title varies - director of aviation, airport superintendent,

executive director, airport director, general manager.
20

Major Duties of Airport Manager
• Manager’s primary duty is the safe and efficient operation of the
airport and all its facilities regardless of its size.
• Manager is in charge of public relations, financial planning, profitable

and efficient day to day operation and coordination of airline,
concession and airport facilities.
• He/she interprets the functions and activities of airport to the city or

other local government and to the public.
• And more……
21

Airport Manager – Education (Brief)
• Major requirement for the job of airport manager is business and
administrative ability.
• Perhaps the best college program to follow is one that leads to degree
in aviation management (Wells & Young, 2019).
• Course in engineering, management, accounting, finance and

economics, business and aviation law, airline, general aviation and
airport management are good preparation for a career in airport
management (Wells & Young, 2019).
