The above is just a snapshot of the
obligations applicable to most US airports,
and any one of the above contains
one or several articles worth of
further explanation. Lucky for all of
us, the FAA's Airport Compliance
Manual does an excellent job with the
further explanations, including how
many of these obligations are interrelated.
There are many other resources
available for those wanting to understand
more about what " airport law "
includes, and since most of an airport's
day to day activities are impacted by
these laws and requirements, learning
more would be time well spent. The
FAA's website is a great place to start,
as is attending any session at one of the
many airport-focused conferences that
discusses legal issues. They really aren't
just for lawyers!
