  • Appendix H Detailed Airport Case Studies
    ACRP 01-14 Considering and Evaluating Airport Privatization Appendix H Appendix H Detailed Airport Case Studies H.1 Case Study Selections Case studies can be a useful means of illustrating first-hand experiences and lessons learned from those experiences. The purpose of this task is to document case studies to illustrate lessons learned for a range of airport sizes, privatization strategies, and forms of governance for both successful and unsuccessful efforts. For each case study, the research team documented (1) the initial goals and objectives of the airport sponsor for undertaking the privatization initiative, (2) a summary of the process employed, (4) a summary of the business terms of the initiative, (4) documentation of the experience to date, and (5) lessons learned. Literature reviews, transaction document reviews, and interviews were used to gather information for the case studies. Each case study considers the objectives, timeline, competitive bidding process, stakeholder interests, business terms, and the consequences (including development and operational experiences) and then presents lessons learned. It should be noted that, where the responses of individual interview participants are referred to in this report, these represent the interviewee’s own views and perceptions. However such responses have only been included to where they appear to represent opinions held more widely, or have been directly substantiated by other means On the basis of recommendations and justifications put forth by the research team, the ACRP Panel decided to ask the team to conduct case studies of the domestic and international airports as noted below.

    RUDY’S INFLIGHT CATERING Media Contacts: 180 North Street Jessica Rourke, Rudy’s Inflight Catering Teterboro, NJ 07608 201­727­1122, [email protected] Bruce Fabricant, Public Relations 914­328­0226, [email protected] What is Rudy's Inflight Catering Rudy's Inflight Catering is the pioneer and worldwide leader in business aviation in­flight catering. Rudy's began in 1983 when two brothers, Joe and John Celentano, turned a request for food takeout from their family's restaurant near Teterboro Airport in New Jersey into a company that is the leader in the $150 million business aviation in­flight catering industry. Brothers Sal and Rudy Celentano opened a family restaurant with an Italian flair in 1976. Some of its clientele came from people working at Teterboro Airport. The aviation crowd liked the food and wanted the Celentano’s to furnish boxed meals for their aircraft passengers. The brothers declined, but Sal's sons Joe and John saw the opportunity, and "Rudy's Inflight Catering" was born. In 1983, the brothers produced meals for about 16 aircraft a week. They were doing 15 to 20 aircraft a day, a year and a half later. Today, Rudy's provides meals for an average of 400 flights a day out of New York and Washington DC area airports, a number that can triple on peak days. Rudy's Inflight Catering has grown over the past 20 years from a 2,000 square foot kitchen to a 17,000 square foot building in Teterboro. Rudy's Inflight Catering also has facilities located directly on the field at Westchester County Airport in New York and in Chantilly, Virginia, located 5 miles from Dulles International Airport.
