TRB’s Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) Report 73: Airport-to-Airport Mutual Aid Programs is designed to help guide airports that would like to enter into formal or informal mutual aid agreements with other airports in the event of a community-wide disaster that requires support and assistance beyond its own capabilities.

The report describes the potential benefits that an airport-to-airport mutual aid program (MAP) can provide and outlines the different issues that should be considered when setting up an airport-to-airport MAP.
