This report presents Phase 1 findings from CDRI's Global Study on Disaster Resilience of Airports, analyzing responses from 81 airports across 54 countries. The study examines current disaster risk management practices and resilience capacities at airports worldwide.

Key findings reveal that airports anticipate extreme storms, precipitation, and third-party system failures as primary hazards causing operational disruptions. While most airports have emergency response plans, vulnerability assessments are conducted less frequently. The study identifies significant regional differences in recovery capabilities and highlights gaps in data availability and stakeholder collaboration.

The report provides actionable recommendations for airports, governments, and industry organizations to enhance resilience through improved planning, knowledge sharing, and integrated disaster preparedness approaches
