Day 3 - 12 March
Session: Airport Design, Planning & Development

09:35 - 10:05 - Is bigger better?
Synopsis: Airports need to be forward thinking in the facilities that they develop, providing capacity in line with projected growth. Effective demand forecasting is essential to the business plans of airports, as annual passenger numbers drive revenues that in turn fund facilities. However, the size of the facilities is also driven by airline schedules and the demand profiles they generate. Although airports usually take a long-term approach to investment, some airlines often focus on the short-term year ahead. Finding a solution that is acceptable for all parties is anchored in stakeholder management.
