airport design and development
Fred Thomas
24 February 2014
1. Explain the impact of airport design, development, operations, and funding sources on airport systems. As one attempts to grasp a better understanding about the impact of airport designs and all the demographics that ensures that it functions properly, one can easily become a bit overwhelmed with information. There are so many sectors that work within a sector to ensure that the daily task are carried out and it only gets more complex from a financial aspect as accountability is key in ensuring it can account for all of the airport transactions. The website that I have chosen does a great job at putting things into prospective. I would like to define it as an airport starter kit, because it briefly but effectively enlightens you about the beginning to end and everything between in respects to the overall airport business experience. For example, in our lesson we are introduced to airport cash-flow, investing, and the AIP (Airport Improvement Program); in the table of contents one can see chapters 2. Planning for Airport Development, 3. Financing Airport Projects and 4. Economic Impacts and Economics of Airport Development are great sections to read in order to get a better understanding on the financial development sector. All of the other chapters tie directly into our lesson as they all reference back to airport designs, operations, and development. If one would like to dig more into the ins and outs behind airport design, operations, and development then this is a great webpage to start. http://www.eolss.net/sample-chapters/c05/e6-40-02-07.pdf Airport Design and Development

    Bae Automated Systems Case Study

    In the early 1980’s, Denver experienced significant economic growth due to the booming oil, real estate, and tourism industries. The major airport that operated within Denver during that time was the Stapleton Airport. Up to 1970, the Stapleton Airport was able to accommodate the demands of Denver but in subsequent years it was unable to meet the ever growing needs of the city. The Stapleton Airport was seen as a liability and limited the attractiveness of businesses that were swarming to it. Issues with handling high traffic volume, disruptions in connection schedules, and an overall poor airport layout led the city of Denver to decide whether they wanted to expand or replace the Stapleton Airport. A study performed in 1983 determined that an expansion of Stapleton’s capacity was needed.…

    Logan Airport: Case Study

    In the case, we learned that adverse weather conditions are primary cause of delays at Logan Airport. When weather conditions deteriorate, or when winds from the northwest become moderately strong, Logan's capacity drops from three runways (where one runway handles both arrivals and departures, one runway only departures, and one runway only arrivals) to two (where two runways handle both arrivals and departures.) Arrival capacity in the former case averages around 60 planes an hour, and in the latter case (a situation that occurs on average 30 days a year), 45 planes an hour. When weather conditions are particularly severe (a situation that occurs on average 10 days a year), only one runway for both arrivals and departures is in operation at Logan, and total arrival capacity drops to 30 operations an hour.…

    Airport Director Challenges

    Today, Airport Directors must work hard and stay sharp to accomplish any challenge that they are faced with. Airport directors face many challenges such as anything from dealing with the current economy to wildlife around the airport. I strongly feel that the biggest challenge that Airport Directors are facing today is the overall coordination of an airport. There are many people that work at an airport to make sure it runs the way it should and it’s the airport director’s job to make sure everyone is doing their job correctly and efficiently so the airport runs the way it should. If even one worker makes a mistake, it can cause a huge chain reaction causing many problems for the airport. An airport that isn’t coordinated well will cause people to avoid going and using that airport and overall leading to ultimate failure of the airport.…

    Future Tolling Right

    1) Future tolling rights are legal claims to collect charge from public levied for passage along a particular road, highway, or bridge, at a later time (Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary). Future tolling rights of the M7 toll-road are BrisConnections’ intangible assets. The road is a public-private partnership with the Queensland government (Wikipedia), in which private companies build the roads and are given a limited franchise. When the franchise expires, ownership is transferred to the government. BrisConnections’ annual report showed that future tolling rights is provided by the government through the concession deed. This is an agreement which concedes the use of the road to the project company for a specified period, signed by the entity established by the State in relation to the design and construction.…

    The DIA project complexity was grossly underestimated by the airport Plan Management Team(PMT) that lacked the needed skill composition for a project of such a magnitude .

    London Heathrow Airport

    Heathrow authorities have faced a big problem, whether to build a new airport or to increase the capacity of the existing one by building the 3rd runway and a sixth terminal. Of course, the second way needs less investments and easier to accomplish, but needs more political and social solutions as there are too many people standing against it. On the one side there are economic benefits, on the other is environmental impact, increasing noise level and discontent of the people living on the area close to the airport.…

    Project on Airport Sustainability.

    The history of Sam Mbakwe Airport (formally known as Imo Airport) as wellas it's operational status shall continue to generate mixed feelings amongstthe Imo citizenry. For record purposes, the airport was single - handedly builtby Imo people through a fund-raising committee chaired by late SenatorEvan Enwerem, who then the Chairman Board of Directors of Nigeria AirportsAuthority. In fact, every Imo citizen, home and abroad, through Town Unions, wasmade to contribute through what was then known as Airport levy. Evenschool children and the unemployed voluntarily contributed towards theproject in accordance with an I.B.C jingle that said "one naira is not too smallfor an Imo airport". All payments were duly receipted for. I still have mine uptill today. This zeal of contributors in ensuring the realization of the Imo airport projectstemmed from a general feeling of marginalization of the Imo people byFederal Government, controlled by several military juntas including the shortterm of Shagari administration. This marginalization was very clear and wasmeted out to Imo people with such impunity that the Federal Governmentduring the period was constructing airports all over the country. You can imagine State capitals such as Yola in Katsina State "blessed” with a standardinternational airport with little or no traffic nor economic value. Theauthorities, out of political persecution/ marginalization became myopic ofthe economic maxim, viability, when establishing a business venture. Flightfrequencies to such unviable airports where maintained inspite of poor loadstatus. Meanwhile, 80% of passenger traffic to and from Port Harcourt international airport came from Imo. Little wonder Port Harcourt had the highest number of daily flights in thecountry then. The Imo Airport, which is now christened by the same FederalGovernment as Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport had its…
