AIRPORT Airport also called Air terminal, Aerodrome or Airfield, site and installation for the take off and landing of aircraft 1. An airport usually has paved runways and maintenance facilities and serves as a terminal for passengers and cargo. An airplane requires forward speed through the air in order to sustain flight. Attainment of the required speed is accomplished by means of runway on which the aircraft to take off speed. The runway is used in the opposite manner for a landing. The runways are strips of the overall airport area designated for the landing and take off of aircrafts. In the early days of aviation, large, open, grasscovered fields were used as airports known as landing fields, these airports allowed a pilot to head directly into the wind to aid take off and landing operations. In the 1930s aircraft became heavy enough that hard runway surfaces (such as concrete or asphalt) were required to keep them from sinking into turf or mud. These aircraft were still sensitive to crosswind, however, so most airports were provided with four or five runways aligned in different directions. Do that pilot could choose one having a minimum amount of crosswind at the time of take off or landing as aircraft continued to increase in weight and speed during the 1930s and 40s they became less sensitive to crosswinds, and the number of runways was generally common; they can handle more traffic and separate take off and landing operations. The length of the runways has steadily increased.
8

Air traffic controllers, aided by radar and other electronic navigation devices, direct incoming and outgoing aircraft from airport control towers and control center located some distance from airfield. The controllers also direct all aircraft movements on the ground, guiding pilots as they taxi their planes between the loading apron and runway. Passenger and cargo terminals have grown steadily larger and more complex with the increase in airport size. In some airports special ground transit systems (eg. monorail or moving sidewalks) have been installed between parking areas and terminals. Passenger boarding is conducted according to either the so called trickle system, in which boarding procedures were boarding area is stretched out over a period of time, or the group system, in which all processing is first carried out, and the passengers board in a group. Cargo terminals, where airfreight is loaded, and stored employ fork lift trucks, cargo-cart trains, belt conveyers and other techniques and machinery. Lighting is of major importance in an airport, despite the development of instrumented landing systems. A revolving green and white beacon has long been the visible mark of an airport. High intensity white or amber approach light often running in a straight line beyond the limits of the airport; guide pilots to runways. White runway lights are turned on and off as needed by the control tower or by automatic systems. Green threshold lights indicate the ends of the runways, while blue lights mark the taxiways used by aircraft to enter and exit
9

from runways. Red lights are used to mark obstructions and red flashing lights are used to warn of high obstructions2. Virtually all governments prescribe standards for construction and operations of airports. The International Civil Aviation Organization issues a set of internationally accepted standards covering, number, length and orientation of runways, visual ground aids and other details. Introduction to the Industry Everyday, the world’s airports handle millions of passengers flying on thousands of commercial airplanes for business and leisure travel. Now-a-days air transportation is the fastest and most convenient mode of transportation. As of 2006 there were approximately 50000 airports around the world, including 19,815 in the United States alone The largest airport in the world- KING FAHD INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT near DAMMAM, Saudi Arabia, covers 780KM2, it is bigger than near by country Bahrain.

Theoretical Framework

31

HRD is concerned with the development of human resource in an organization. Development means improving the existing capabilities to the human resources in the organization and helping them to acquire new capabilities required for the achievement of the corporate as well as individual goals1. HRD believes that individuals in an organization have unlimited potential for growth and development and that their potential can be developed and multiplied through appropriate and systematic efforts. Given the opportunities and by providing the right type of climate in the organization, individuals can be helped to give full expression of their potential, contributing o the achievement of goals of the organization and thereby ensuring optimization of human resources. Investment in human being is another underlying concept of the human resources system. The organization accepts that development of human resources involves investment of time and concern for growth. Everyone in the organization will have to take self-responsibility for growth and optimization of performance2. To appreciate the importance of HRD it is necessary to understand the HRD concept because it is multi-dimensional3. It has been defined by economist, social scientists, industrialist, managers and other academicians in different ways and from different angles. In a broad sense HRD is the process of increasing knowledge will and capacities of all the people in a given society. In the national context, HRD is a process by which the people in a given society. In the national context, HRD is a process by which the people in various groups are helped to
32

acquire new competence continu0ously so as to make them more and more selfreliant and simultaneously develop a sense of pride in their country. In economic terms, it means accumulation of human capital and its effective utilization for the development of economy. In political terms HRD prepares people for active participation in the political process. From the social and cultural point of view, the development enriches life. As far as industrial organization is concerned, human the ‘human’ aspect where people are seen as having skills, having potential and ability to grown change and develop; the ‘resource, aspect where individuals are considered resources rather than problems and the ‘development’ aspect, where there is an emphasis on the discovery and nurturing of their potentials4. Objectives of HRD ? To maximize the utilization of human resources for the achievement of individual and organizational goals. ? To provide and opportunity and comprehensive framework for the development of human resources in an organization for full expression of their latent and manifest potentials. ?

Need for HRD The role of the organization in society is changing the demands ofn the organization and the expectations of the client system require that employees undertake new tasks and challenges and respond to environmental changes. In the same manner, some organizations have reached the saturation poring in its growth and employees are stagnating due to lack of growth opportunities. The level of frustration among employees in on the increase5. The need and importance of HRD may be measured from the following points. ? Success of an organization ? Development of men ? Higher productivity. ? Good return on investment. ? Its strong superior sub-ordinate relationship. ? To cope with change ? As a pre-condition of Economic growth. FUNCTIONS OF HRD HRD is a holistic concept, while traditional personnel functions are exclusively departmental. Traditional personnel function is the exclusive
34

responsibility of the personnel department, but HRD is concern of all managers in the organization. The main functions of the HRD executives are; 1.

Try to conduct training need assessment (TNA) atleast six months intervals. As a younger organization where most of the employees are still young and want career path there is need to provide more and more opportunities, promotion and advancement etc. 5. Management can adopt potential appraisal system that will help the organization to manpower planning more easily. 6. Top level executives should give more attention the development of subordinates. 7. Introduce self appraisal, peer group appraisal, subordinate appraisal that will ensure more clarity to performance appraisal. 8. 9. Management should give more clarity about the promotional policy. Management should give more attention to honest and sincere works.

10. Management should implement programmes to create awareness about career development opportunities among employees. 11. Management should revise the remuneration package especially fringe benefits. 12. Company should take appropriate measures for improve industrial relations especially trade union matters, job redesign and wage administration.

75

13. Company should revise the compensation system. 14. The management should maintain present relationship with employees. 15. Company should immediately revise fringe benefits to the employees. 16.
