Airport planning is fundamental to successful airport operation and in order to optimise physical capacity with demand.

The principal activities include:

• The review of airport Master Plans.
• Capacity analysis.
• Planning process support – from local planning requirements/liaison to public inquiry support and advice.

Airport planning is complex and varied and covers a wide range of activities from the master planning of an entire airport site (existing or green-field) through to the detailed planning of individual airport facilities in order to match capacity to forecast demand.

MPD’s specialists have detailed knowledge and experience of all aspects of airport planning and capacity analysis.

In addition, MPD can advise on planning issues associated with local planning processes and national processes such as Public Inquiries, which often require a comprehensive coverage and knowledge of planning issues.

Experience of Airport Planning:

Reviews of  Master Plans and investment programmes have regularly formed part of MPD’s work in support of transactions and on business planning.
