Tagged with: George Saounatsos, Operational Readiness and Airport Transfer (ORAT), YVRAS/Hermes Airports Ltd. This article introduces the principles and methodologies used in the successful and timely opening of new airport facilities, as implemented on the island of Cyprus in the 7.5-million annual passenger capacity Larnaka International Airport (LCA) in 2009 and the 3-million capacity Pafos International Airport (PFO) in 2008. The opening of new airports is a demanding and intriguing logistical project which requires three fundamental elements: Ability to capture and analyse all critical details, based on a broad and solid operational know-how, as well as the capacity to zoom-out and assess subjects globally Thorough planning, organisation and methodical implementation, as the large number of entities and stakeholders engaged adds to the challenge and complexity of the project Bonding of the entire airport community and the commitment at the highest level of the airport operator and each company, organisation or state authority involved.

    Drug Wars and Coffee Houses Paper

    David Mares gives us insight into the political economy of drug trafficking in his book Drug Wars and Coffee Houses. To help us understand how psychoactive substances are organized and distributed, he uses the concept of a commodity chain. A commodity chain is the system that links consumption of psychoactive substances to everything that makes it possible, and proves that if something affects one phase of the system, the other phases are affected as well. Consumers and producers in this system depend on each other, and “neither one could exist without the other” (Mares, p.13). The whole system consists of various pieces that ultimately work towards getting the consumer what they want, and from a producer who actually has what they want. Since consumers and producers are rarely ever in the same place, consumers get their substances from a transportation network. These traffickers get the substances from the producers, and just like any other business, producers need various inputs. This includes “labor, chemicals, and in the case of illegal products, perhaps weapons and corrupt officials, to produce and transport the substance” (Mares, p.13). So then we have the people who provide these inputs. Playing with drug money can get messy, so then money launderers come into the picture. The commodity chain system that Mares presents helps us organize and understand how all these roles connect to get a psychoactive substance produced and distributed to consumers.…

    Bae Automated Systems Case Study

    In the early 1980’s, Denver experienced significant economic growth due to the booming oil, real estate, and tourism industries. The major airport that operated within Denver during that time was the Stapleton Airport. Up to 1970, the Stapleton Airport was able to accommodate the demands of Denver but in subsequent years it was unable to meet the ever growing needs of the city. The Stapleton Airport was seen as a liability and limited the attractiveness of businesses that were swarming to it. Issues with handling high traffic volume, disruptions in connection schedules, and an overall poor airport layout led the city of Denver to decide whether they wanted to expand or replace the Stapleton Airport. A study performed in 1983 determined that an expansion of Stapleton’s capacity was needed.…

    Airport Director Challenges

    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.…
