AIRPORTS Today most countries have both

Domestic and International carriers. Governments indulge in having their national carrier to fly international routes even if they are unprofitable. There are many reasons for this strategy:

Each Government sees the potential of world tourism and wishes to have a slice of it. Airlines bring inbound tourists into the country.

A national carrier is a source of pride.

A national carrier links with certain destinations w/c other airlines do not reach due to political reasons.

Airlines generate foreign exchange.

Airlines develop national tourism.

Airports are controlled by each country’s National Airports Authority. They govern the standards of airports and their use. Governments negotiate w/ one another to grant certain freedoms of the air carriers of other country such as:

• The right to overfly.• The right to make a technical landing.• The right to carry passengers and freight

from one’s territory to another.• The right to carry passengers and freight

from another country to one’s own.

AIRPORTS SERVE THE FF. TRAFFIC
