Airport Finance Classification

Of the 590 total ACRP publications, DWU Consulting has identified 118 classified as relevant to airport finance across 18 categories:

Of the 590 ACRP publications, DWU Consulting has identified 118 (20.0%) publications classified as relevant to airport finance professionals. This classification uses the DWU Consulting airport finance framework—a methodology available upon request—which maps 34 topic areas including airline use agreements, rate-setting methodologies, bond documents, capital planning, PFC and CFC administration, concessions, parking revenue, ground transportation, privatization, grant assurance compliance, financial reporting, and operating expense management.

These 118 publications span all six ACRP series and address topics with implications for airport revenue, cost, or financial decision-making. For example, publications on parking facility design affect non-aeronautical revenue projections; publications on ground transportation regulations affect CFC and TNC fee structures; publications on airport property leasing affect real estate revenue and revenue diversion compliance.

The following table summarizes the distribution of finance-related publications by category.
