Airport maintenance, operations, and management services refer to a range of specialized services provided to ensure the safe, efficient, and orderly operation of civil airports. These services encompass airfield maintenance (runway and taxiway inspections and repairs), terminal operations, air traffic control, communications, and navigation, ground support (aircraft maintenance, loading, and baggage handling), security and inspections, energy management, equipment operation and maintenance, and information management system support. These services are typically provided by airport management agencies or third-party professional service providers. The upstream component includes airport construction companies, specialized equipment suppliers (such as navigation lighting, baggage systems, and boarding bridges), IT system developers (AODB, FIMS), and aviation equipment providers. The midstream component comprises airport operations management companies, integrated service contractors, and specialized maintenance companies, responsible for daily operations, facility maintenance, and emergency response. The downstream component includes airlines, passengers, freight forwarders, and government regulatory agencies. This field has a high entry threshold and strong professional characteristics, and the overall gross profit margin varies depending on the business type: the gross profit margin of basic operation and maintenance services is about 15%-25%, while that of information system integration and smart airport solutions can reach 30%-50%. The industry is developing towards intelligent, intensive, and full life cycle management. Leading companies are improving their profitability and market competitiveness through the integrated "operation + technology + service" model.

Airport maintenance, operations, and management services are currently at a critical stage of transitioning from traditional manual processes to intelligent, refined, and intensive operations. With the continued growth of global air traffic and the acceleration of smart airport development, airports across the globe are widely adopting digital management systems (such as A-CDM and AODB), automated equipment (smart security screening and self-service check-in), and IoT monitoring technologies to improve operational efficiency and service quality. Current developments include large hub airports taking the lead in promoting the development of "four-type airports" (safe, green, smart, and humanistic), increasing participation from third-party professional service providers, and the gradual standardization, outsourcing, and regional collaboration of airport operations and maintenance. Future trends will focus on comprehensively deepening this intelligent transformation, widely applying AI, big data, and digital twin technologies to optimize flight scheduling and predictive maintenance; promoting green and low-carbon operations, promoting APU replacement, electric ground equipment, and intelligent energy management; strengthening safety and resilience management, and enhancing emergency response and cybersecurity capabilities; and developing a comprehensive, lifecycle service model, shifting from "reactive maintenance" to "proactive management" to build an efficient, safe, and sustainable modern airport operations system.
