From page 84...
... 84 Conclusion and Summary Interviews with smaller airports, regional groups, airline pilots, the FAA, and technology companies combined with recent literature and survey findings reveal that smaller airports receive and manage numerous gas and go diversions regularly using on-airport resources including FBOs and ground handlers. They may also receive several technical stop diversions at once, creating incident-level situations that they also regularly manage without exceeding their capacity and capabilities -- some using formalized plans and/or checklists, and others not.
From page 85...
... Conclusion and Summary of Findings 85   • It was not clear whether many smaller airports have implemented newer communication technology, such as web-based mass notification and management software. • Very little research is available specifically related to flight diversion events that assess how small airports can recover quickly and successfully from situations like these.
