This a small potion from the text book concerning ICAO

“Two agencies define many of the international requirements for airport design and operation. These are the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The ICAO is a United Nations agency that promulgates internationally accepted standards for airports (ICAO, 2004, 2005, 2006). The FAA also sets standards (e.g., FAA, 2001, 2010) and often pioneers the norms that ICAO later follows. See, for example, the discussion of aircraft categories and runway separations in Chap. 10. The FAA has a dominant role because the United States constitutes the largest single market for aviation and has devoted the most money and research to establishing standards. Moreover, because aircraft manufacturers want to sell into the big North American market, they make sure that their aircraft meet the FAA standards. International standards apply most strictly to matters concerned with the safety of aircraft in the air. International practice is almost identical for all elements of the airport that concern flight: runway markings and lighting, navigation equipment, and zones to be kept clear of obstructions around the airport. National differences concerning safety are small. However, national differences are great when it comes to land- side features of airport planning, design, and management. Although the air transport industry places almost identical physical loads on airports and airport managers, many nations develop or adopt their own distinctive solutions to these requirements. The loads on the sys- tem are similar, but the technical solutions are not. National social values mediate the translation from the technical specification of the problem to the facilities and services that meet this specification. For example, American and European designers meet the requirement to position aircraft at aircraft gates in strikingly different ways, as Sec. 3.2 indicates. In general, the practice of airport planning, design, and management differs considerably among countries.
