An airport authority is an entity responsible for the operation and oversight of an airport or group of airports.[1] The Airports Council International is the world trade association of airport authorities.[2] In some countries, when the authority of an entity encompasses more than just the airports in an area, harbor and rail facilities for example, the entity may be referred to as a port authority.
