GIS For Airport Management - Orly, France

Details: 27 March 2011 | By Jeff Thurston | 2612

airplane471 Airports around the world are faced with several significant challenges. As their sizes grow, the need for improved strategies and tools to manage spaces directly impacts the ability to generate revenue. The infrastructure required to support many buildings, runways and accessibility is also under pressure to increase efficiency.
