The collapse in U.S. air traffic during the start of the COVID-19 pandemic illustrates the speed with which a severe public health emergency can devastate the air travel industry. It further illustrates how quickly an airport operator may have to react to a public health crisis.

The TRB Airport Cooperative Research Program's ACRP Legal Research Digest 44: Airports Responding to Public Health Emergencies: Legal Considerations is designed to help airport sponsors and other stakeholders in the airport industry consider potential legal questions that they could confront as they address a future public health emergency.
