Airports Module – Airport Profile & Runway Management

Airports Module – Airport Profile & Runway Management

Overview

This article explains the Airport Profile screen in the Airports module (example shown: G. Bush Intercontinental – KIAH). You’ll learn what’s on the page, how to add or edit data (related airports, orgs/people, aircraft, runways), and where to find supporting records like documents, notes, and audit logs.

Who it’s for: Airport data owners, operations/dispatch, and admins who maintain airport details and runway characteristics.

What you can do here

  • View the airport on an interactive map

  • Maintain Runways, Related Airports, Organizations, Persons, and Aircraft

  • Open supporting tabs: Contacts, Services, Catering, FBOs, Fuel, Hangar, Hotels, Maintenance, Ground Trans, Documents, Notes, Audit Logs
