Overview

The aviation industry is operating within a rapidly changing environment and airports are no exceptions to this. Airports have to continually adapt to market changes, technological advancement and privatisation. The course offers an in-depth approach to airports and their management and operations at tactical and strategical level. The course extends the knowledge from other courses beginning the journey from a broad and shallow understanding of the aviation industry to a much more focused investigation of the various non-flying components. Although there is no formal prerequisite requirement, this course assumes prior knowledge from AVN1101 (Introduction to Aviation) and AVN1105 (Introduction to Aviation Business).

In this course you will study major airports and the environments in which they operate. This will include day-to-day operations and management of the airport as a business, safety management, emergency management, landside, terminal and airside operations and management. These topics are covered using case studies and scenario-based exercises. You will also engage the nexus between overall airport management and the regulatory system that governs the relationship between airport managers and government agencies such as civil aviation authorities, customs and border protection and policing agencies.

Course learning outcomes

On successful completion of this course students should be able to:

  1. identify and articulate knowledge of airports, their management and operations and the issues that airports deal with on a regular basis;
