Alliance Airport serves some corporate aviation however, they support mostly cargo and military aviation. Alliance Airport has set up an agreement with Station 35 which is located on the airport premises that they will provide services to the airport however, they are also able to serve outside the airport since they are part of the Fort Worth Fire Department. During my visit with the firefighters of station 35, I was able to gather information on their approach to response planning, mutual…

    This report aims to analyze and attempt to reduce Logan airport’s delay problem in the year 2000. The airport was experiencing unacceptable numbers of delays due to three main problems: 1) Weather conditions, 2) Mix of aircrafts, and 3) Overscheduling. Under normal weather, the three-runway configuration is sufficient to handle incoming and outgoing planes. However, the delay problem at Logan is the most acute during severe weather, as only one runway is allowed to operate. With annual operation expected to increase to 510,000 to 656,000 in 2015, it is imperative that Logan finds an effective solution to have enough capacity in the long run to handle this projected demand.…

    In November 1989, ground was broken on the construction of the Denver International Airport (DIA). A typical master plan approach was taken by the City of Denver during the initial conception of the DIA project, and eventually a consulting team was awarded a contract to help due to their expertise in the fields of transportation and construction. A final master plan was created and presented to the City of Denver that called for the construction of the world’s most efficient airport. The new airport was to be built from the ground up with no limitations. The plan was to allow for growth and expansion without compromising efficiency. The high costs associated in building this new airport were understated…

    Today, Airport Directors must work hard and stay sharp to accomplish any challenge that they are faced with. Airport directors face many challenges such as anything from dealing with the current economy to wildlife around the airport. I strongly feel that the biggest challenge that Airport Directors are facing today is the overall coordination of an airport. There are many people that work at an airport to make sure it runs the way it should and it’s the airport director’s job to make sure everyone is doing their job correctly and efficiently so the airport runs the way it should. If even one worker makes a mistake, it can cause a huge chain reaction causing many problems for the airport. An airport that isn’t coordinated well will cause people to avoid going and using that airport and overall leading to ultimate failure of the airport.…

    After the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on New York’s World Trade Towers and the Pentagon, the debate surrounding racial profiling in airports intensified. Many people believed that profiling was the best way to identify possible terrorists, but many others worried about violations of civil liberties. While some airports began to target passengers based solely on their Middle Eastern origins, others instituted random searches instead. Neither of these techniques seems likely to eliminate terrorism. Now, many experts in government and in airport security are recommending the use of a national ID card or a Safe Traveler Card. If every U.S. citizen had such a card, airlines could screen for terrorists more effectively than they do now and avoid procedures that single out individuals solely on the basis of race. For these reasons, the government should pass a law making national ID cards mandatory. The most vivid memory I have of writing is back in the tenth grade. I had the best teacher ever in regards to writing. I used to view writing as a senseless waste of time. Writing, in my opinion, at the time was always noted to be formal and boring; however, my tenth grade English teacher, Mrs. Perez, changed my whole perception of writing and how it affects humanity. One day after class she pulled me aside and recommended a book known as, “His Dark Materials,” which is about a young girl who, with her allies, fought for the discovery of a dark substance called the “Dust.” The book single handedly altered my mental picture of writing and creativity. Writing can be about anything in the universe, and the possibilities are endless. The main point, however, which ties everything together, is imagination. One’s imagination can truly be defined as infinite to the power of infinite, because it contains numerous amounts of details and features on life and the world itself. How does this tie to writing one may ask. Well an elaborate imagination helps to create an elaborate…

    Once inside security at the Las Vegas International Airport, one can watch the excited people getting ready to take that once in a lifetime trip. There is a continuous hum of happy chatter, luggage wheels softly rolling across the floor, and cell phones ringing. It’s late in the afternoon, which is a prime time to get through airport security. The lines are short and the TSA agents are proudly dressed wearing their newly dry cleaned cobalt blue uniforms. A meticulously sewn on patch with our Nation’s flag and a magnificent eagle catches my eye, displaying a proud workforce and a dutiful employee. Each uniform displays a shining gold badge that catches the light and the black cords from the walkie talkies hangs close by. There aren’t many people and the TSA agents are standing tall and are eager and delighted to help the next traveler safely pass through security. A mother and her child are happily placing their items in the taupe rubber-maid bin getting ready to slide it down the black conveyor belt as an important looking business man casually waits behind them. The little boy was obviously dressed to see someone special and proudly sports an army green jacket and a blue and red striped shirt underneath, his pants are clean but you can tell they have been worn dozens of times and he has spent much time on his knees probably playing with his precious red race car he is now happily placing in the container which is now passing through the airport scanner. After obediently placing his items in the bin the little boy slowly but obviously thrilled walks through the big airport scanner grinning at the TSA agent ahead of him. He suddenly jumps enthusiastically as the scanner beeps and promptly turns around and his mom and the well-dressed business man both laugh and admire his energy. His mother starts examining his pockets for any stowaway metal objects. The escapee was found and the boy tries his chance with the big scanner again. This time he successfully makes it…
