Spanish term or phrase: Gestor Aerportuario
I am translating a Ground Handling Operations Manual. The manual contains two terms which seem to be translated in some places with the same word in english: Gestor Aeroportuario and Operador Aereo. Some entries in dictionaries and glossaries render Gestor Aeroportuario (GA) "Airport Operator" - but isn't that the same as operador aereo?

Ideally I would like someone who is used to translating airport stuff to answer...


Below are the definitions of the two terms as per a glossary in the ST:

Gestor aeroportuario: Persona fisica o juridica designada por el titular del aeropuerto y que cumple los requisitos para ejercicio de las obligaciones que determina el articulo 40 de la Ley 21/2003, de 7 de ulio, de Seguridad Aerea.

Operador Aereo: Aquel que dispone de un Certificado de Operador Aereo (AOC) emitido por la Autoridad.

Re. the comments below, I think it's important to distinguish between the air operators (running freight and passenger services, etc) and the organisation running the airport per se. This is why I added 'management' in brackets.
Thanks go to Charles for providing precise definitions in the discussion section.

neutral  philgoddard: Surely you're translating the wrong term? Shouldn't it be airport manager?

  -> Same difference. The outfit that runs the airport will likely have several managers.
