Uluslararası Havalimanı İşletmelerinde Ulaşım Türlerinde Yaşanan Sorunlar ve Çözüm Önerileri; Sabiha Gökçen Havalimanı Örneği

Abstract

The historical development of transportation, dating back to pre-recorded history, began primarily with the people’s access to resources. Later, it diversified with the addition of different modes of transportation, and gained its modern definition of the movement of people, goods and services for a purpose. Development in transport is directly proportional to the level of development of societies, given the globalizing world and economy of today. In this context, the main focus of the study is airport operations, having become one of the main sectors of major economic size in the world, which involve or integrate with almost all modes of transportation (air, waterway, and land transportation). Within the scope of the study, the current status of the modes of transportation at Sabiha Gökçen Airport, the second-largest airport in Turkey, was identified, and the problems encountered in these modes of transportation were addressed. As a result, proposals were presented for the challenges encountered in the integration of all modes of transportation and their individual setting-up.
