ISBN: 9780754670421 / Angielski / Twarda / 456 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Over the past several decades, commercial air traffic has been growing at a far greater rate than airport capacity, causing airports to become increasingly congested.

The United States, on the other hand, has used administrative procedures to...
