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


10:05 - 10:35 - Future-proofing your airport development planning
Synopsis: The sluggish economy, business globalisation and changes within the aviation industry around the world have made it nearly impossible to accurately predict long- or even short-term changes in air and passenger traffic and determine timing for needed improvements. In response to these changes, a method for ‘future-proofing’ development planning has been created, allowing airports to consider unforeseen scenarios and adjust airport plans for terminal development, cost structure and space allocation to incorporate these inputs/scenarios. This interactive session will reveal details of a first-of-its-kind computer model that analyses future airport scenarios with just a few clicks on the interface.
