EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
i. As a follow-up to the 2000 Conference on the Economics of Airports and Air Navigation Services (ANSConf 2000), this study has been conducted in order to examine measures that can be taken to ensure that access of international general and business aviation to airports can be maintained, or preferably expanded.
ii. Increased productivity of top managers and other key staff members is the major benefit claimed by business aviation users, due to the fact that companies utilizing general aviation aircraft for business purposes can control virtually all aspects of their travel plans.
iii. ICAO policy in the economic field refers to civil aviation in general. Although most of the provisions of this policy are rather tailored to the needs of commercial air carriers and/or providers of facilities and services, some principles of a general nature can also be applied to other users, such as international general and business aviation.
