3.0 out of 5 stars Average book, too expensive.
Reviewed in Canada on 15 August 2016

A loose collection of a lot of information. Unfortunaley, it's often too condensed. The illustrations do sometimes not match the text or miss essential explanation. Moreover, the text is full of typos. I would expect a more diligent work for such a price, and it is even not the first edition of the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Valuable insight of airport operations

I bought the kindle version of this book for a month, rather than wait, I decided to post a preliminary review.

The authors are having strong academical background and practical experience in civil aviation, therefore they have written one of the finest books on airport operations I have ever read. Yet it is a very serious piece of writing, at once scholarly and erudite, while suitable for different level of people who are working in aviation industry. As such, it bears re-reading and serious study.

This is a book for somebody who wish to grab the full picture to understand the complexity of the airport operation systems, the reader could understand the area of passenger, freight, and aircraft handling, the airport viewpoint on airline scheduling, the safety and security issues, sustainable development and environmental capacity of airports, etc. All the things in this book is across the world, the proposition are followed the rule setup by governmental like FAA and international organization like IATA and ICAO. The book just doesn't bored like reading the manual, and I suspect it will be immensely useful to any of us who are willing to understand the logic of transportation, as they are working in same principle.

Dr. Ashford is a well known author in airport planning. When I first entered airport as a operations staff in 8 years ago, I learn a lot from his previous book -  Airport Operations . It is a must-read for me. The  Airport Operations 3/E  contains a treasure trove of knowledge, in sum, I highly recommended this book for everyone who interested in this topic.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very comprehensive and easy to read manual
Reviewed in the United States on 4 October 2015

A very comprehensive and easy to read manual, covering all core airport operations. It is not a technical manual, but rather an eagle-eye view of airport processes and related operations, with much descriptions and details on the different variables involved. Perfect for those who don't know about airport operating processes, but a refreshing overview and a handy manual for the professionals alike.
