First published in 1979, Airport Engineering by Ashford and Wright, has become a classic
textbook in the education of airport
engineers
and transportation planners. Over the past twenty years, construction
of new airports in the US has waned as construction abroad boomed. This
new edition of Airport Engineering will
respond to this shift in the
growth of airports globally, with a focus on the role of the
International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), while still providing
the best practices and tested fundamentals that have made the book
successful for over 30 years.
