EDITOR’SCORNER
With this issue, Airport Magazine celebrates AAAE’s 84th Annual Conference and Exposition, to be held in Phoenix April 29-May 2. Phoenix Sky Harbor
International Airport is our host for the conference, and we
appreciate their hospitality.
Our lead story in this issue highlights the PHX Sky Train,
a landmark $1.5 billion project designed in three stages to
accommodate future growth and passenger demand at Phoenix
Sky Harbor.
Other features in this special conference issue include: going
beyond a simple asset management system; providing good
customer service on a tight budget; winter operations; and FAA’s
forecast for growth in the U.S. aviation system. A special AAAE
Today section brings you up to date on the workings of your
association.
We thank our advertisers in this issue, which are listed on
page 46. These companies contribute to the success of Airport
Magazine through their support. Please support them in turn.
For the convenience of our readers, features of the Airport
Magazine website ( www.airportmagazine.net) allow readers

flip book for each issue allows readers to print out articles. Our
subscribers and all AAAE members receive printed copies as well.
