Airport Planning


Introduction

This cours covers the basic concepts and steps involved in planning of the airport , participants will be taught the phases of the planning process based on ICAO SARPS

Objectives

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Conduct airport system plan to meet the needs of the region.
  • Define the levels of plans.
  • Conduct airport master plan. (learning outcome)
  • Recall the elements of airport master plan.
  • Conduct capacity analysis.
