• Airport costs cannot rise in a time when airplane costs are decreasing.

• As the focus of flows, airports are also at the center of crises.
• Airports are:
an infrastructure business.
a service business.
an “experience” business. QuickTime™ and a

Do We Agree?
• If so, what are the implications for our customers and the ability to render expected service?
• What are the consequences of falling short?• What are the signs of inadequate service?• Is it possible to be all these things, successfully?• Is partnership the answer?• How do airports reconcile the low cost/high service
conundrum?
