The aim of this study is to create a manual that will aid airports in establishing and sustaining a procedure for the handover of asset information. This includes the acceptance of new and replacement physical assets vital to major airport stakeholders. Asset information encompasses, but is not limited to, electronic data, blueprints, and operations and maintenance (O&M) details.

The manual should at least cover the following aspects:

• A list of recommended assets and associated data that airports should keep track of;
• The identification and coordination with individuals and entities that use or provide this asset information;
• Best practices for the oversight and documentation of the asset information handover process;
• Case studies showcasing a variety of airport sizes, types, and levels of experience; and
• A narrative aimed at airport executives, discussing how to implement the asset handover process effectively, including the necessary staff support.
