Changing Characteristics of the Airport Business:
In the 19th and 20th century, railroads and highways were the basis of a nation’s industrial development. In this 21st century, amid the forces of globalization and internationalization, airports are emerging as the new linchpins in the movement and exchange of people, products and ideas, and creators of high value-added. A nation’s economic competitiveness today is increasingly determined by the competitiveness of its airports.
