"This is a premier text by leading technical professionals, known worldwide for their expertise in the planning, design, and management of airports"--Provided by publisher.

First published in 1979, Airport Engineering by Ashford and Wright, has become a classic textbook in the education of airport engineers and transportation planners. Over the past twenty years, construction of new airports in the US has waned as construction abroad boomed. This new edition of Airport Engineering will respond to this shift in the growth of airports globally, with a focus on the role of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), while still providing the best practices and tested fundamentals that have made the book successful for over 30 years.

This book will explore a new approach to airport planning that better captures the complexities and velocity of change in our contemporary world. As a result, it will lead to higher performing airports for users, business partners, investors and other stakeholders. This is especially pertinent since airports will need to come back better from the Covid-19 pandemic. The book explains the importance of articulating a clear strategy, based on a rigorous analysis of the competitive landscape while avoiding the pitfalls of ambiguity and ‘virtue signalling’. Having done so, demand forecasts can be developed that resemble S-curves, not simple straight lines, that reflect strategic opportunities and threats from which a master plan can be developed to allocate land and capital in a way that maximizes return on assets and social licence. The second distinctive feature of this book is the premise that planning an airport as an island, a fortress even, does not work anymore given how interconnected airports are with other components of the transportation system, the economies and communities they serve and the rapid pace of social and technological change. In summary, the book argues that airport planning needs to move beyond its traditional boundaries. The book is replete with real examples from airports of all sizes around the world and includes practical advice and tools for executives and managers. It is recommended reading for individuals working in the airport business or the broader air transport industry, members of airports’ board of directors, who may be new to the business, elected officials, policy makers and urban planners in jurisdictions hosting or adjacent to airports, regulators, economic development professionals and, finally, students.

Authoritative, Up-to-Date Coverage of Airport Planning and Design Fully updated to reflect the significant changes that have occurred in the aviation industry, the new edition of this classic text offers definitive guidance on every aspect of planning, design, engineering, and renovating airports and terminals. Planning and Design of Airports, Fifth Edition, includes complete coverage of the latest aircraft and air traffic management technologies, passenger processing technologies, computer-based analytical and design models, new guidelines for estimating required runway lengths and pavement thicknesses, current Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards, and more. Widely recognized as the field's standard text, this time-tested, expertly written reference is the best and most trusted source of information on current practice, techniques, and innovations in airport planning and design. COVERAGE INCLUDES: Designing facilities to accommodate a wide variety of aircraft Air traffic management Airport planning studies Forecasting for future demands on airport system components Geometric design of the airfield Structural design of airport pavements Airport lighting, marking, and signage Planning and design of the terminal area Airport security planning Airport airside capacity and delay Finance strategies, including grants, bonds, and private investment Environmental planning Heliports

This independent manual provides airport planners and architects with an essential planning guide and reference tool, based on the author's extensive experience in the field and involvement in developing best practice airline and airport industry guidelines. Chapters cover topics such as demand forecasting, masterplan development, terminal pier and satellite infrastructure, baggage handling, apron design and airport security.

The definitive guide to airport planning and management―fully updated with the latest advances in the industry. This thoroughly revised guide covers all aspects of airport infrastructure―from the airfield and runway to airspace, air traffic control, and terminal and security systems. Airport Planning & Management, Seventh Edition clearly explains the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS), historical and current legislation and regulations, FAR Part 139, and more. You'll explore cutting-edge concepts such as automation, smart baggage handling, enhanced security, and analytics. Updated questions for review and discussion will bring new insights to your knowledge of how airports are planned and managed. Coverage includes: *An introduction to airports and airport systems *Airport and airport systems organization and administration *Historical and legislative perspectives *The airfield *Airspace and air traffic management *Airport operations management under FAR Part 139 *Airport terminals and ground access *Airport security *Airport financial management *Economic, political, and social role of airports *Airport planning *Airport capacity and delay *The future of airport management

The role of an airport within the air transport system used to be largely incontestable. This book examines various pressures in order to identify changes that are required to the airport planning process. It discusses such issues as: forecasting in an uncertain world; airport market share; airline network choices; and more.

"Describes best practices and specific design considerations and presents decision-making frameworks for implementing passenger conveyance systems. Passenger conveyance components include escalators, elevators, moving walkways, and passenger assist vehicles/carts. Automated People Mover systems (the subject of ACRP Reports 37 and 37A), personal rapid transit systems, and shuttle bus systems are not covered in the Guidebook. In addition to the Guidebook, ACRP Report 67 also includes a comprehensive database along with a Decision-Support Tool for planning, designing, and evaluating passenger conveyance systems at airports as a function of specific airport design and operating parameters. This database allows project planners to examine how passenger conveyance components operate as a system throughout different areas within the airport environment."--Foreword.
