Airport Master Plan is a critical planning tool for meeting the future requirements of an airport and provides a strategic vision for defining its potential. This training will support the experts in establishing and developing a strategic concept of how to guide the airport in the short, medium, and long-term and make informed decisions. In addition, we will help the participants to understand the comprehensive master planning process and fundamental principles and support them in creating flexibility and further opportunities for development. This course contains the full range of topics that should be included in an airport master plan.
