Airport Economics in Latin America and the Caribbean
Traditionally, air transport infrastructure in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) was exclusively under government ownership and management. Starting in the late 1990s, several Latin American countries implemented innovative public-private partnerships (PPP) that transferred the financing and management of air transport sector infrastructure to the private sector. This book presents the findings of a first-ever, comprehensive study of how LAC region airports have evolved during this notable period of transition in airport ownership. It is an unbiased, positive analysis of what happened, rather than a normative analysis of what should be done to reform the airport sector or to attract private participation. It takes the first step in response to the need for more conclusive information about the influence of airport ownership on economic performance. The book is centered around the study of three dimensions of performance: productive efficiency, institutional set up for the governance of the sector, and financing of airport PPPs.Using rigorous analytical tools, this book answer a series of key questions to evaluate the introduction of private sector participation in the Latin American airport sector: Are LAC airports technically efficient? How has efficiency evolved in the last decade? Are privately-run airports more efficient than state-operated airports? How do independent regulators compare with government agencies in accountability, transparency, and autonomy? How has the level and structure of aeronautical tariffs changed in recent years? The main audience of this book are air transport practitioners, transport regulators, decisionmakers in transport ministries, and PPP units and academics.

PW 1629 Safety for the life-threatening situation at chiang mai international airport
Chiang Mai International Airport has been the forth busiest airport in Thailand. Approximately 10 million passengers visit the airport this year whereas the maximum capacity is 8 million passengers per year. Last year, the airport medical staff, only one doctor and two nurses, served 6491 patients (passengers and people who work at the airport). We worked hard to develop medical team, processes and equipment to prepare for emergency situations. Recently, two automatic external defibrillators (AED), donated by Faculty of Medicine, Chiang Mai University and a private hospital, have been established in workplace for safety. Moreover, we are trained for cardiac pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) every year.On January 6, 2018, a visitor collapsed while waiting for the international arrival passengers. He had no pulse and conscious. The medical contingency plan was activated. He was resuscitated by not only medical providers, but also well-trained security staff who worked in the airport terminal. The AED was used to recovery the patient with cardiac arrest by delivering an electrical shock through the chest to the heart. Then, the patient was rapidly transferred to cardiac unit of Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai (Suandok) hospital. The good news is the patient is saved and still alive.The crowed places in Thailand, for instance, airports, bus stations, community malls, etc. are very important that AEDs should be provided. An AED does not only play as significant role in saving life, but staff should also be well-trained to do CPR. The limitation may be the management and budget of each organization. However, one life should be more valuable than any cost the organization spend. This situation creates a unique set of challenges that must be fully evaluated to ensure safety to life.
