Abstract

This chapter provides a wider perspective of the regulatory oversight of airports as critical nodes within air transport systems. The chapter begins with a spatial assessment of airports within wider transport systems, where spatiality, nodal concentration, network density, and gravity are considered as variables that comprise the economic viability of nodal systems. The chapter then interrogates some of the policy frameworks that govern airports, in particular ownership and regulatory oversight of charges. The chapter concludes with a case study of airport regulation in Canada.
