The Department of Aviation Management opened in 2011 under the Atılım University Graduate School of Civil Aviation. The department curriculum encompasses management and aviation, and education is offered in English as the language of global aviation. Aviation is a sector with a potential for growth globally by around five percent each year, and nationally by ten percent or more, exceeding the worldwide averages. The Department of Aviation Management trains individuals equipped to work in aviation at public institutions, airlines, ground operation institutions, terminal services and general aviation organizations. Our department offers an opportunity for students to study abroad for a semester under our Erasmus+ contracts, and a chance to familiarize themselves with the sector via summer internship programs organized twice throughout their period of study. In addition, some of the aviation courses are presented at relevant institutions (e.g. Terminal operations).

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to draw attention to the problems experienced during the enlargement and development of existing airport facilities in Turkey, where air transport has been undergoing rapid growth over the past decade, and to provide recommendations to overcome these problems. In this study, civil air transport developments, bottlenecks, trends, and expectations worldwide and in Turkey are investigated. The earliest and latest master plan studies related to Ankara Esenboga, Antalya, Istanbul Ataturk and Sabiha Gokcen, and Izmir Adnan Menderes airports are examined and evaluated and proposals are made regarding the recurring planning problems. The analysis of earlier master plans, which were not brought into effect, indicated that some of the existing applications, such as the co-ordination, planning, and implementation procedures regarding the airport operators/state-regional planning authorities, need to be changed to clear the way for the development of airports. Otherwise, the latest master plans also will not be fully applicable and existing problems will continue to hinder airport development. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
