About the course

An Airport Master Plan is a critical planning tool for determining the future requirements of an airport and provides a vision for realizing its ultimate potential. The primary purpose is to establish an orderly development concept to guide the airport’s short, medium, and long-term measures and assist airport management and stakeholders in making informed decisions.

This course will help you understand the airport master planning process and the key principles for creating a plan that flexibly protects an airport’s operations and development over an extended period-of-time. The course, based on the latest standards from the 11th edition of the Airport Development Reference Manuel, will explain the full range of topics that should be included in an airport master plan.

This course is available at IATA Training Centers and Regional Training Partner locations, and on-demand as in-house training.
