  1. The good airport should provide as many useful services is it can for the airport customers.
    Starting with the passenger, the airport should provide a lot of parking lots, a good security all over the airport, information desks and accessible terminals by public transportation.
    Comfortable concourses are important too, such as duty free shops, spas, coffee shops and other services that passengers can benefit from.
    The airline companies should be provided with special facilities, a runway that is where aircraft take off and land on it and it should be maintained daily and always in a good condition and without forgetting the basic routine services such as refuelling, de-icing and cleaning the aircraft well. For example, London Heathrow airport (LHR) always makes sure that both the airlines and the passengers are satisfied with their airport support services.
    As for the air freight companies, such as FedEx and DHL, they have to be provided with a space for loading and unloading cargo. Airports also needs to have a special cargo terminal where hundreds of thousands of tonnes of freight are processed every day.
    In conclusion to meet their customers’ expectations, airports try to offer superior services.

    One of the important customers of airport is the passenger.
    Passengers benefit from a number of facilities and services that airport provide like parking lots , accessible by road and public transportation because of the large amount of passengers who travel nowadays . Airports need to maintain high security to make travelers feel safe . Also one of facilities is terminal to make check in easy . The airport has to take care of passengers who may have disabilities such as employees to take them in or out of the aircraft.
    Another important thing is the concourse it is better to be large and has restaurants, duty free shops , free wireless and for the children playgrounds .
    Another customer that airports have to provide some services is airlines and we can divide the airlines in passenger airlines and air- freight companies. There is a list of facilities they need for example runways for take off and landing , control tower to give important information to the flight crew . Also airlines need hangar to keep aircraft that isn’t used and fuel depot for aircraft fuel storage.
    Other important services are routine maintenance, refuelling and gate rental. For air freight companies airports need to provide a space for loading and unloading cargo and a cargo terminal. All these services need to be done efficiently because of the substantial number of flight s a day. For example in ATL airport there are 2400 flights every day and airports need to process the passengers well.
