Charlotte/Douglas International Airport
The student’s discussion board post related to factors that influence Charlotte/Douglas International Airport’s success seems to be rather deep, clear, and trustworthy. The author discusses not only the elements that positively influence the airport but also those that hinder its success. Relevant sources and accurate numbers confirm various facts discussed in the post, and they are also thoroughly analyzed and by the student. For example, it is mentioned how the airport tries to solve its technical issues (Wagner, 2020). However, the weakness of this post is probably the fact that not all sentences that have certain years and numbers are cited. At the same time, the Economic Factors part is especially strong as it clearly mentions required information and has references. Overall, it is a rather good post that has all the necessary information correctly divided into paragraphs.
Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), Malaysia
This discussion post is about Kuala Lumpur International Airport. One of the evident advantages of this post is that it contains a brief history of the Malaysia Airport Holdings Berhad (MAHB) (“Malaysia Airports,” n.d.). Nevertheless, it seems like the paragraph about political factors actually lacks specific information, and certain questions arise after reading it. For example, is there any political interference this airport is vulnerable to? Simultaneously, the part related to the social factors is quite strong as it mentions particular ways of how the airport connects with and supports society. The disadvantage is that it lacks any references. Another great paragraph is about environmental factors, and its advantage is that it mentions sustainable green initiatives introduced by the airport, namely, utilizing chilled water for the air-conditioning cooling system. Overall, this is a good discussion post, though it needs some improvements.
