ABSTRACT

The old airport which had served part of the United Kingdom needed replacing. Accordingly, a new airport had been planned and developed. It opened at the beginning of the summer. The new airport was municipally owned and operated by the Norfield City Corporation. Various methods of municipal airport staffing had been studied by the airport director responsible for the planning and implementation of a staffing structure. Ground operations at the airport were expected to vary considerably according to the season of the year, and daily on an hour-to-hour basis. The summer holiday season was the predicted time of peak airport usage, when the airport would be busy with charter flights.
