This reluctance to communicate with communities could result in weaker managerial decisions of INAC and the building of less efficient infrastructure. In addition to weaker managerial…

Introduction Water is one life’s most precious resources. In some organisms, water comprises as much as 90% of personal body weight, in humans, this ratio is 60%.

Such is the case in Flint Michigan where a Water Crisis has been unfolding for two years ever since the city began to use water from the local Flint River (Foley). The case of Flint is a precautionary one as it is tragic as it may herald the…

While, at first glance, this dilemma…

Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) officially opened on July 3, 1925, with two 1,500-foot dirt strips set at right angles, and has evolved into the busiest airport in the world today. The complexities that surround airside operations enable the airport to support current flight operations. At the same time, modern facility and system upgrades will boost efficiency and preserve its international ranking. First and foremost, in order for Hartsfield-Jackson to sustain the…

(2011) describe a commercial services airport as, “those airports that accommodate scheduled air carrier service, provided by the world’s certificated air carriers” (pg. 12).

The primary role of commercial services airports are to safely and efficiently provide…
