Planning and design of aerodromes: the airport masterplan design

An airport masterplan document provides a road map for efficiently meeting aviation demand through the foreseeable future while preserving the flexibility necessary to respond to changing industry conditions. It is a critical planning tool for determining the future requirements of an airport and provides a vision for realizing its ultimate potential. The primary purpose is to establish an orderly development concept to guide the airport’s short-, medium- and long-term measures and assist airport management and stakeholders in making informed decisions.

The audience will learn:

  • To enable the airport to achieve its mission and to provide a framework for long-range planning (20 to 30 years)
  • To graphically present preferred airport development concepts
  • To comply with all applicable regulatory requirements
  • To define the purpose and need for development projects
  • To ensure compatible land use development
