Enhancing Freight Mobility and a Regional Economy
An Airport/ Railroad Case Study
By Robin C. Chapman, Norfolk Southern Corporation
Airports and railroad yards are completely different animals, but plans
are afoot in Charlotte, NC to make them stable mates.
Charlotte Douglas International Airport, owned by the city of
Charlotte, serves seven domestic, six regional and two foreign carries,
is a major regional hub for US Airways, and handles 643 departures per
day. In 2009, it not only handled almost 35 million passengers but also
120,000 tons of freight.Read more...

'Virtually' Transforming the Common Use Paradigm
By Mark Sapp, Air-Transport IT Services, Inc.
Common use passenger processing and shared use airport facilities
have long been great concepts. Unfortunately, they have lacked
meaningful execution and true airline acceptance for the first
twenty-five years of their existence. Today's virtualization technology
changes the game and allows airports the ability to deliver true native
system functionality to airlines while garnering unparalleled facility
control and growth capabilities.Full article...

Update
"A careful conversation is a failed conversation, because
it merely postpones the conversation that wants and needs to take
place." - Susan Scott, author of "Fierce Conversations"...
Ronald L. Peckham, P.E., C&C Companies, ACC 2010 Board of
Directors Chair

SP1(B) Explore including a broader mix of
companies involved in aviation as ACC members. The purpose of this
action item is to learn if ACC is meeting current member needs relating
to networking and business development opportunities; consider the
possibility of including a broader spectrum of firms/companies involved
in airport development to increase the value of the organization; and
sustain the council as a relevant and viable force in the future airport
development arena. Full story...
After All
Designing an Effective Aviation Congestion
Strategy
By Steve Van Beek, President & CEO of Eno Transportation
Foundation
The Summer of 2010 has brought a renewed sense of optimism to

airlines were profitable in the second quarter and have yet to
significantly increase capacity, setting the stage for a much better
2010 than 2009. For passengers, disruptions in the form of delays and
cancellations have not reached the levels they had five or ten years ago
and even though passenger fares are increasing, air travel remains
relatively inexpensive, accessible and a common part of the lives of
many. Full story...
