Abstract
Purpose: This paper aims to explore contributions of information and knowledge sharing to establish long-term collaboration between airport stakeholders and ultimately to develop an airport in a sustainable way. Design/methodology/approach: exploratory research is considered as the fundamental research method for this study as there are insufficient study discovering an importance of knowledge sharing and stakeholder engaging on balancing economic, social and environment benefits of airports. Focus group and questionnaire are used for collecting data from perspectives of stakeholders and airport operators. The data collected are then analysed on the basis of descriptive statistical analysis. Findings: there are wide varieties of stakeholders involved in running an airport. Sharing information owned by each party is important for operating aircrafts and handling passenger and cargo in timely and safely manner. This shared information is crucial for the airport operator in designing the development plan of airside and landside infrastructures with less impacts on environment and communities surrounded the airport. It will also enable the airport to successfully cooperate the stakeholders in the daily operations and also to develop long-term collaboration. It is crucial for the airport to monitor this sustainable development in the three aspects of economic, environment and social. However, the study find that economic benefits seems to be the prime performance dimension of airports in Thailand. Research limitations/implications (if applicable): the findings of research shows that a sustainable quality system is considered as a critical success factor for an airport to sustain its economic development with less impacts on environment and communities around the airport. Originality/value: Although there are numbers of research focusing on airport planning and developing, there are gaps in integrating environmental and social considerations into the airport development p
