Where to find world-class airport sites
Article Abstract:
On-site airport locations with space provided for industrial, commercial, office, and hotel use are ideal for companies looking for world-class sites capable of serving a major global region. The best type of airport location allows taxiway access to the company's office door. Privatized airports offer the advantage of more consideration from the airport management. A new airport site in Denver, CO, will be a prominent world model, while new airports are under development in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Seoul, South Korea, and Bangkok, Thailand.
