NEXTOR co-sponsors short courses with the FAA that are open to any FAA, federal government,
or industry affiliate employee interested in air transportation systems analysis. Short courses
are taught by faculty members from NEXTOR universities and are designed for mid-senior level
managers and decision makers. Upcoming short course:
NEXTOR Short Course: Airport Systems Planning and Design, November 15-18, 2010
This intensive course provides an introduction to the broad range of issues that arise in planning airport
systems and the development of new and existing airports, as well as the design of airport facilities to handle
both aircraft and passenger demand.
