These minimum standards are designed to protect airport patrons from irresponsible, unsafe, or inadequate service. The cost of meeting reasonable standards must be accepted as a normal business expense. Minimum Standards serve the objective of promoting safety in all airport activities, maintaining a higher quality of service for airport users, protecting airport users from unlicensed and unauthorized products and services, enhancing the availability of adequate services for all airport users, and promoting the orderly development of airport land. The fairness and reasonableness of standards normally is judged against the background of general practices which have found acceptance at airports of comparable size and situation.
