Airport authority
 | This article needs additional citations for verification. (November 2024) |
An airport authority is an entity responsible for the operation and oversight of an airport or group of airports.[1] The Airports Council International is the world trade association of airport authorities.[2] In some countries, when the authority of an entity encompasses more than just the airports in an area, harbor and rail facilities for example, the entity may be referred to as a port authority.
Legal forms and structures
[edit]In the USA, authorities are often governed by a group of airport commissioners, who are appointed to lead the authority by a government official.[1] In Canada, airport authorities usually refer to private (not government owned or affiliated) not-for-profit companies that are established to manage a city's commercial airports.
