When I first started on this Airport planning journey 10 years ago, these were the first few books I came across. Please note that all the books have new editions so please buy the latest editions.
Please see my post on current Airport Planning books (click here)
1. Airport Engineering (Norman Ashford)
- This edition was published in 1992. I found it to be more readable than other airport engineering books when I first started. It gives a good international view rather than just an American view. There is a new edition that was published in 2011.
2. Airport Planning and Management (Wells)
- An American view of US Airports and the US Airport System. but very easy to understand. It is updated every few years. There has been a new edition published so please make sure you buy the new edition.
3. Airport Operations (Ashford)
- This is the 1999 edition. Again, very readable but unfortunately not updated. There is a new edition expected to come out at the end of 2012.
4. Airport Systems (deNeuville)
- This is the 2003 edition. A bit harder to understand than the other 3 books at first, but it gets better as you get used to the airport industry. A operations research point of view and it gives both an American and international view of the world with some comparison between the American and international ways of doing things. There is a new edition expected to be published in 2013.
