6 Most ights arrive at their original destination airports; however, some ights can be diverted -- most o en to large or medium hub airports. However, small, non-hub, and general aviation airports sometimes receive diverted ights as well.

Introduction 7 All these extenuating circumstances surrounding diversions are particularly important when considering the available staffing and resources for managing them at small hub, non-hub, and general aviation airports -- both internally at the airport and externally with mutual aid and network partners -- which is the focus of this synthesis. How Flight Diversions Impact Smaller Airports This synthesis provides insight into how smaller airports manage different types of diversions -- primarily incident- and emergency-level diversions with a smaller focus on routine diversions -- to demonstrate when they can manage diversions with their capabilities under their authority and jurisdiction and when they need assistance from external sources such as the following.

8 Managing a Flight Diversion with an Emergency Response at Small, Non-Hub, or General Aviation Airports like ARFF, fire department, law enforcement, and EMS are governed by the airport and can provide this capability, or they need outside assistance from mutual aid (e.g., city or county emergency management resources) to perform this critical role.

Introduction 9 Communication Communication within the airport and among mutual aid and network partners during a diversion event impacts how well the event is managed and mitigated. Communication success depends on whether the airport has predetermined communication channels, frequencies, and procedures (e.g., email, text, or chat feature)

10 Managing a Flight Diversion with an Emergency Response at Small, Non-Hub, or General Aviation Airports Chapter 3 provides the methodology for obtaining the data needed to complete this synthesis, which involved a literature review, a survey, interviews, and case examples. Chapter 4 digs deeper into an analysis of the literature review, focusing on how smaller airports manage flight diversions before, during, and after a diversion, including lessons learned and successful practices.
