		Airports Say CBSA Resource Strain is Threatening Community Opportunities
		Meanwhile some smaller airports in Atlantic Canada, Ontario and elsewhere in the country have been unable to secure the customs resources required for proposed new international air routes into their communities.
		But a lack of CBSA resources and rules requiring that international passengers arriving in Canada process customs at their first port of entry, are creating logistical problems and extra costs that threaten the viability of international service to smaller communities.

		Airports need to be able to administer facilities that provide broadband access, in a manner similar to that already employed by airports in balancing the sometimes-competing interests of airport tenants, concessionaires and others.
		Airport authorities must manage their facilities in a way that serves the needs of safe and efficient air travel, and this requires flexibility to administer the airport successfully and to balance many competing concerns.
		Airports receiving federal assistance for airport improvements are subject to a variety of federal grant assurances, including the requirement that the airport be available for public use on reasonable conditions and without unjust discrimination.

	IT News - Survey Sees Higher IT Spending by Airports
		Airports across the world, on an average, spend four per cent of their revenue on information technology (IT) and telecommunications investments.
		While none of the airports surveyed currently use biometric identification technology for passengers, four percent of the respondents plan to implement such systems by the end of the year and another 19 percent plan to have biometric identification systems in the next two years.
		Moreover, for most airports the chief obstacle to implementing IT strategies appears to be the lack of investment, with 56 per cent of the respondents highlighting this aspect.

	U.S. House of Representatives, Committee on Science
		Because the nation’s 18,000 airports are locally owned and operated it is more difficult to form a single view of their readiness status than is the case in many other industries that are more concentrated.
		Several attempts to survey airports during the past year have been unsuccessful, in part because of the large numbers of airports involved and, in part, because of the rapidly changing status of airports’ readiness.
		Even if an airport does not have a spare vehicle, the impact of a failure would most likely be the reduction in the number of vehicles available, not the loss of all fire fighting services, since few airports have fleets composed of entirely the same make and model of vehicle.

		Therefore, it's imperative that airports be provided with appropriate Airport Improvement Program (AIP) levels to fund airport investments, and be granted flexibility to choose which funding mechanisms work best for their local needs.
		As airports continue to recover from the aftermath of September 11 and grapple with the impacts of the airline industry restructuring, airports are showing growth in all areas of activity including passenger and cargo.

		For the most part, airports in the USA are workaday places, serving merely as points of transit for people in a hurry.
		By contrast, many large airports in Europe and Asia are designed to encourage lingering, providing unique services Americans can't commonly find inside airport terminals at home: spas, showers, hotels, dry cleaners, massage centers, casinos, swimming pools and movie theaters.
		Foreign airports, which commonly are run by national governments, aren't as beholden to airlines for revenue as their U.S. counterparts, Marchi says.

		Marchi said some of those airports have indicated that they would have to shut down operations for the first few hours of the new year to allow enough time to conduct the tests.
		Airports already are required to inspect some of the systems in question on a daily basis, but the FAA says those tests typically are conducted during the day and therefore might not be conducted Jan. 1 before the first flight.
		The proposal also would require airport operators to report their test results to the FAA so that the information could be used to warn other airports of potential problems, David said.
