In many countries, flying is no longer limited to the elite, but is fast becoming a commodity like any other, and in future it is destined to become a much more commonplace form of transport.
Airports are the vital link in the world's transportation network.
They play an increasingly important role in today's rapidly changing global economy and contribute significantly to the advancement of modern society. Airports, just like the airlines, are vital partners in the air transport industry, integral to its success and growth. From mere providers of airline infrastructure, airports have become poles of economic development and genuine gateways to growth for their airline customers and the regions they serve. Airports therefore represent a significant asset for their local community, acting as magnets to a wide range of industrial and commercial enterprises. They create wealth and employment in their own right and they provide high value communication and distribution links between developed, interdependent markets.
