AIRPORT SYSTEMS: DESIGN, PLANNING & MANAGEMENT COURSE

Overview of the PROGRAM:

The essential elements of current international airport planning and design trends, including airport master planning, layout plans, geometric design and layout of the airfield and terminal facilities, are covered in this course.

Delegates also will be schooled in obstruction analysis, signage and lighting, forecasting, airside and landside interface, and capacity and delay effects. Environmental planning, such as hazardous wildlife attractants, airport noise and compatible land use, is fully covered as well.

Training Objectives

  • Understand how fundamentals of design, planning and management are integrated into airport facilities. Included are a review of current airport facilities and their industry ranking in terms of passenger and cargo movement.
  • Recognize the international differences in planning and design and understand the physical differences of airport design , including terminal facilities and aircraft parking.
  • Understand the concept of Multi-Airport Systems and how the impact airport planning and design.
  • Identify factors of landslide access and egress including intermodal transportation systems to achieve an orderly flow of traffic at the facility. Planning issues related to airport ground access improvements will be examined.
  • Understand the concept and process of baggage handling systems, Mechanical as well as computerized complex systems will be examined.

With continued growth in global air travel demand, airport owners and operators need cutting-edge technologies, flexibility and capacity to remain efficient and competitive. They also need reliable solutions to meet growing requirements and sustainable ambitions.
