This airport planning manual allows the airport planner to reference best practice procedures and calculations, without the need to review and subjectively assess the various alternative manuals, which are driven by the requirements of airlines, airports, or specific interest
groups or organizations. A balance is provided between the requirements of the interested parties, allowing solutions to be commercially sound and suitably flexible. Surface access design, terminal design and airfield design are covered, from master-planning principles to detail design issues and calculations. The differences between IATA and ACI standards are highlighted. A set of bespoke calculation formulae (MS Excel format) is provided on an accompanying CD that designers, architects, and airport planners alike will be able to use to ensure that sound airport terminal planning principles are observed.
