Planning

Planning is the process of preparing appropriate responses to possible future events. The value of high-quality, proactive, strategic planning cannot be underestimated as the commercial and operational impacts of inappropriate development decisions can be significant.

Our team has experience in a huge variety of airport planning studies. We have assisted various government agencies with a number of system-wide aviation studies. At the individual airport level, our professionally qualified airport planners combine with extensive industry experience to develop robust master plans that offer a clear pathway for short-term developments whilst maximising flexibility in the long-term. Here, our expertise in designing, operating and managing airports provides a unique edge in identifying optimum solutions. We are equally capable of applying these principles to the whole airport, or to specific issues relating to individual facilities such as runway capacity or passenger terminal development strategies.
