Impacts on Practice: Learning to Negotiate Airport / Airline Agreements

TRB's Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) latest Impacts on Practice examines how an aviation consulting firm applied the findings of ACRP Report 36: Airport/Airline Agreements – Practices and Characteristics for use in training its clients on lease negotiation, rates, and charges. The report clarifies the impacts of residual and compensatory rate structures on airports and airlines. This, in turn, assists with negotiating fair agreements between airlines and airport operators.
