 Expertise - Case Studies, Mexican Airport Privatization
Airport accounting practices in Mexico were designed for national budgetary purposes, and do not present a realistic financial picture of each airport in the system.
Specific airport tariffs have no relationship to the actual costs of providing services, and there is a high level of cross subsidization between airports, further complicating the evaluation of airport performance and value.
The model provided a functional allocation of costs and overhead, and estimates of infrastructure investment requirements, which were missing from the financial statements of the airports.

NASPAC was designed to model the nation's airports en route structure, and traffic flows as a network of inter-related components and to address system-wide performance issues.
Airports are generally represented by separate departure and arrival "servers" that share the available runway capacity.
For example, during a departure "push" at a hub airport, controllers may stretch out arriving aircraft to permit one or more aircraft to depart between successive arrivals, and when the arrival demand is heavy, controllers may hold departures to serve arriving flights.

 Model for adjustment of traffic charges at Copenhagen Airports A/S (15 May 2000) - Copenhagen Airports
Under the model, a ceiling is fixed in advance for changes to the traffic charges level for three years at a time.
Well in advance of the commencement of the next adjustment period, CPH is obligated to negotiate with the airlines for the purpose of entering into an agreement for the next period.
At the beginning of the new adjustment period 2003-2005, the base for the charges ceiling shall therefore be the actual traffic charges level in force at 31 December 2002.

Airports need to think ahead and develop plans to cope with that new environment, he advised.
The mass introduction of regional jets with their ability to travel upwards of 2000 miles, sip fuel and carry a reduced overhead (pilots and FAs) will reinvigorate the economy (I firmly believe that the economy is like a ball that expands and contracts and the skin of the ball is the aviation industry).
Our model changed to bring in BAE 146's that carried 68 people which meant a ratio of 2 flight attendents as apposed to adding one more seat and requiring by regs 3 on every flight.

To distinguish the airport authority concept from the private corporation concept discussed later, the term is applied to the governance model where the private sector corporation is not-for-profit, and thus has no shareholders (or shareholder paid in equity).
In exchange it is given the right to operate the airport (or terminal) for a period of time sufficient to allow it to earn revenues to cover the costs of the project and to earn a return on their investment.
The receiving authority would be expected to operate the airport (or airports) under the terms and conditions of the operating certificate and according to the safety and security regulations prescribed for the type of aircraft activity at the facility.

 UK model could help SA airports lift of
Four years ago, the Airports Company of SA (ACSA) was formed to manage the country's airports, and the difference was almost immediately noticeable.
Access to the main airports has improved (although it is far from perfect), check-in is easier, and the departure lounges have far more people willing to sell you something.
Airports have always had a reputation for ripping off the trapped consumer, so BAA has introduced a worldwide "no quibble" guarantee on any goods bought in its terminals.

Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) are negotiating a deal that may serve as a model for funding $4.5 billion in structural modifications that must soon be made to airports across the nation.
Some of the largest airports are designing systems that will require networks of dozens of these machines.
Airport and government officials estimate that the terminal modifications may cost $4.5 billion or more, exclusive of the cost of the machines themselves.

The Airfield Capacity Model (ACM), which represents the current state of the art in airport capacity modeling, provides first-order estimates of the capacity of some runway systems but fails to support the analysis of many of the increasingly complex airport layouts that need to be analyzed.
Simulation and modeling of potential UAV operational scenarios will assist MITRE, our sponsors, and other stakeholders in understanding how these vehicles and their missions will integrate with existing and future traffic flows, airspace, infrastructure, and air traffic procedures.

The building of model airports is not a venture to be taken lightly.
The thing you have to be careful about with most model landscapes is that unlike items like the planes and cars, trees and plants have to be permanently affixed to the landscape.
Model glue will hold things together without creating such a tight bond that something can't be removed later and re-adjusted.

Model airports could be made to look very realistic, with many real airport features such as toy terminals, control towers, cargo terminals, hangars, passenger bridges and more.
Conversely, they could also be very simple, as some collectors just get a piece of paper, draw a runway on it, place it over a table, add their plane models and call it their model airport.
