In addition, airport industry groups, such as the American Association of Airport Executives, Airports Council International, and state aviation organizations, help orient new policy makers through conferences and special programs. How this Document is Organized This document consists of four elements: • A primer addressing 20 issues germane to airport management organized into four broad subject areas: General -- things policy makers should know about their roles, their duties, and basic information about airports; The Airport -- issues related to one airport, including what is on the airport, who uses it, how it is operated, how it is planned for future growth, and how its neighbors are protected; Financial -- airport budgets, capital improvement financing, and other financial aspects of the airport business; and Rules -- the many rules and regulations that govern airport activities.

The term "airport manager" refers to the manager, director, or the staff that provides day-to-day oversight and direction of the airport.
