Airport Master Planning
Professional Certificate course, face-to-face: 5 days

Brief

An Airport Master Plan is an integral part of any airport’s development and expansion; indeed nowadays many airports are legally required to produce one. In addition, funding for developments from outside sources may not be available if an Airport does not have a Master Plan.

This 5 day course is designed to look in detail at the Master Plan process from start to finish. It considers why Master Plans are needed, examines the many topics that must be considered and shows who needs to be consulted. It also covers the detailed structure and organisation of the Master Planning team, the people and organisations who will use the final Master Plan and examines some methods that can be used to ensure it is understood by all users. Highly visual presentations, several practical exercises and comprehensive course notes are used to help delegates understand the Master Planning process.
