Aerodrome Governance in Asia
Tabletop Airport Administration: A Case Study of the Mangalore Airport
Abstract
The chapter focuses on Mangalore Airport, a tabletop airport in India's coastal region. The unfortunate 2010 accident at Mangalore Airport brought the unique challenges of tabletop airports to the forefront of academic and policy discussions. The chapter focuses on the observations and recommendations made by the Accident Investigation Committee in its report on the Mangalore and Kozhikode airports.
It also discusses the city-side and airside challenges of tabletop airports, as well as the regulatory response. The audit reports, their non-compliance, and the recommendations in the accident investigation report have been discussed. The chapter also focuses on the management response after the implementation of the Public-Private Partnership.
The book titled "Airport Governance in Asia", edited by Prof.(Dr.) Sandeepa Bhat B, focuses on both the legal and managerial aspects. It has chapters focusing on the aerodrome governance of 11 Asian countries. The book has anchored the discussions from both international and domestic perspectives.
