General Information
AAAE welcomed more than 160 Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) personnel, airport GIS managers, consultants and vendors to the 13th Annual Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Conference and Exhibition held March 21-24 in San Antonio, Texas, making it the largest airport GIS conference to date.
James M. Crites, Executive Vice President Operations at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, delivered a special presentation entitled “An Airport Perspective of Graphical Intelligence Systems.” Mr. Crites, who was the highest-level executive from a large-hub airport to deliver a presentation in conference history, urged his counterparts at airports of all sizes to learn about the cost-effectiveness, accuracy and speed of GIS and how it helps daily airport operations.
Another highlight of the conference was a series of presentations delivered by the FAA, Valley International and Cotulla-La Salle County airports, as well as consultants, on the FAA’s Airports GIS Program. Additional airports presenting at the conference included Avinor (Norwegian airports), Boston Logan, Los Angeles, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta, Philadelphia, San Antonio, San Francisco, and Washington Dulles.
Other conference topics included Reliability of GIS with Sub-Surface Utility Engineering, Construction and Environmental Planning with GIS, and Improved Airport Operations through Spatial Data Management.
