While there are a multitude of publications on corporate finance
and financial management, only a few address the complexity of air
transport industry finance and scant attention has been given to
airport financial management. This book deals exclusively with
airport issues to rectify this. It does this with an analysis of
the theoretical concepts relevant to the subject area combined with
a detailed investigation of current practice within the industry.
Airport Finance and Investment in the Global Economy bridges the
gap between much academic research on airports published in recent
years - lacking much managerial relevance - and real-world airport
financial management. This is achieved by featuring expert analysis
of contemporary issues specific to airport finance and funding
strategies, illustrated by worked examples from a wide range of
different countries to enhance understanding and create a global
perspective. The book is designed to appeal to both practitioners
and academics. Airport-specific topics include: performance
measurement and benchmarking, valuation, tools for financial
control and management, alternatives of financing, privatisation,
competition and implications of economic regulation.

The application of the principles of economics to the dizzyingly
complicated aviation and airline industry is a well-established and
flourishing area of research and study, and this new four-volume
collection in the Routledge Major Works series, Critical Concepts
in Economics, meets the need for an authoritative reference work to
enable users to make better sense of its voluminous literature.
Indeed, the sheer scale of the research output-and the breadth of
the field-makes this anthology especially welcome.
For most of his adult life, Peter Morrell followed a career in the
Law. Qualified as a solicitor in 1970, he switched to being a
barrister in 1974, enjoyed a busy practice as an advocate, mainly
in the East Midlands, and was appointed a Circuit Judge in 1992.
After he retired from the Circuit Bench in 2009, he continued to
sit as a Mental Health Review Judge until his seventieth birthday
in May 2014. However, before he became a lawyer and ever since, he
has engaged with areas that have interested him unconnected with
the Law. Reminiscences of a Nearly Somebody comprises five
adventures. It opens with Wandervogel, which describes a walk Peter
took in 1963, aged 18, alone through the Rhineland and the Black
Forest, in what was then West Germany, where memories of World War
II were still fresh; and often raw. In 1970, he embarked upon a
political career, which Hustings charts from his role as a
Conservative Party constituency treasurer, through his unsuccessful
campaign in 1972 for election to the Peterborough City Council, to
the Three-Day-Week general election of February 1974, when he stood
as the Conservative candidate in the strongly Labour mining
constituency of Ilkeston, Derbyshire. From very early, he aspired
to be an author and Scribbling describes his efforts, culminating
in the Pepynbridge trilogy of novels, published between 2015 and
2016; and, in 2018, a collection of his sermons, From the Pulpit,
Home and Abroad. In Robed, he records how, following a curious
interview and during a bizarre ceremony, he shed his barrister's
gown in favour of a Circuit Judge's robe. In July 2008, Peter was
ordained to the Anglican diaconate and, in the following year, to
the Anglican priesthood. In Collared, he charts why and how that
happened and shares some tales from his ministry, both before
ordination, when he was a reader, and afterwards, as deacon and
priest. Anecdotal, self-deprecating and sometimes humorous,
Reminiscences of a Nearly Somebody tell of polymathic serendipity,
all too rare in today's world of narrow specialism. Peter is
married to Mary. They have two grown-up daughters and a
granddaughter and live in isolated rusticity in East
Northamptonshire.
Pepynbridge is a large village in the East Midlands, with an abbey
as its parish church needing GBP1million to repair its roof, but
riven by disputes over its style of worship and with a dreadful
track record of not hanging onto its rectors. Into this toxic mix,
the Reverend Herbert Onion, a bachelor and gifted musician with
strong views about worship, but nurturing a dark and potentially
catastrophic secret, arrives as the new rector. As Pepynbridge
struggles to accommodate the outsider, relationship storms break
out that threaten not only Herbert Onion's reputation and liberty,
but the futures of others in the community as well.
