    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.…

    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.…

    The airport known as John F. Kennedy international airport is one of the busiest airports in North America. The airport serves as JetBlue’s primary operating base, but accommodates over 90 other airlines, and was built and completed in 1948 with the purpose of reducing the congestion at LaGuardia airport. The capacity situation at JFK airport has been advancing and currently at dangerous levels, this is due to the desire for many to visit this iconic landmark. This is due to the demand required by passengers and cargo being delivered to the New York area, as well as construction issues and upgrades on runways, taxiways, and cargo areas. The demand at JFK airport is definitely larger than its capacity; this is true for the surrounding area…
