Course on Airport Master Planning

Programme Description

The Course on Airport Master Planning provides participants with a strategic and technical understanding of how to plan the long-term development of an airport in a logical, sustainable, and cost-effective way. Master planning is a critical process that ensures airport infrastructure evolves in alignment with forecasted air traffic demand, regulatory frameworks, technological advancements, and stakeholder needs.

This course covers the core principles of airport master planning, including land use optimization, infrastructure phasing, environmental considerations, stakeholder engagement, and alignment with industry best practices. Emphasis is placed on the collaborative nature of the process, especially the importance of integrating the airline community and key stakeholders to maximize economic and operational benefits. Through practical examples and real-world applications, students will learn how to develop comprehensive master plans that balance airport growth, operational efficiency, and sustainability.

Understanding of airport development cycles and long-term infrastructure planning.
Ability to create and interpret airport master plans and their components (layout, phasing, capacity planning, etc.).
Knowledge of forecasting techniques and demand modeling for passenger and cargo traffic.
Skills in stakeholder engagement, especially with airlines, regulators, and local authorities.
Integration of environmental, regulatory, and technological considerations into development plans.
Familiarity with international planning standards and best practices in airport expansion.

Employability

This course prepares participants for roles in airport planning departments, consultancy firms, civil aviation authorities, and infrastructure development teams. Professionals who complete this training will be equipped to contribute to large-scale airport development projects, participate in multidisciplinary planning teams, and ensure that airport growth aligns with future demand and sustainability goals. It is especially valuable for engineers, planners, analysts, and project managers working in or aspiring to enter the aviation infrastructure sector.
