Includes bibliographical references.

Contains 18 papers that explore airport surface safety; infection-spreading links in an air traffic network; intercity passenger rail access to airports; reducing aviation's carbon dioxide emissions; valuing aviation noise with the contingent valuation method, characterization of surface and aloft winds for advanced parallel runway operations; minimization of potential air conflicts through speed regulation, and load transfer efficiency of rigid airfield pavement. Examines the effect of pavement damping and aircraft speed on stress-based load transfer efficiency; managing centralized taxi dispatching at high-volume airports; efficient taxi pickup operations at airports; public transit access planning at major airports; empirical and risk-based revenue forecasting; landing fees at Portuguese airports; surface alternatives for short-haul passenger air travel; leveraging fuel cost differences in aircraft routing; systematic influences on preference heterogeneity in air travel; and the importance of a resilient air services network to remote, rural, and regional communities.
