What’s Needed to Get Airport Projects Off the Ground?
How do 5,217 public and 14,702 private airports in the United States happen? (data from Statista) There is much involved in building, managing and maintaining an airport and U.S. state, local, and federal agencies are actively involved in getting the work done. Tapping into his decades of experience, Mike Dikun (bio below), from Armstrong Consultants, visited the show to explain the importance of NPIAS, the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems, AIP, the FAA’s Airport Improvement Program, covers how urban air mobility fits into the future of air transport, and much more.
