Update of ICAO Document 9184:
Airport Planning Manual –
Part 1: Master Planning
ICAO AMPTF
GOAL: Update existing ICAO Airport Master Planning
Documentation. (Doc 9184-AN/902: Airport Planning
Manual, Part 1 – Master Planning)

Existing ICAO document last revised over 20 years ago.


Much in the aviation/airport industry has changed
including airport privatization. ICAO documentation
needs to recognize and support this trend.
4
In 2016 ICAO assembled an initial Task Force of 23
(twenty-three) volunteer industry advisors / consultants to
update the ICAO Airport Planning Manual (Part 1: Master
Planning)

An initial meeting was convened at ICAO HQ in Montreal


on September 14/15, 2016 to introduce task force
members, begin deliberations, confirm sub-group work
teams and provisional leads/co-leads and agree next steps.
AMPTF members:
Consultants Regulators Airports Intl. Organizations

6
Four (4) separate work teams address the 4 main sections
of the current Master Plan manual:

Section 1: The Airport Planning Process


Section 2: Airside Development (Runways, Taxiways, etc.)
Section 3: Landside Development (Pax Terminal, GTC, etc.)
Section 4: Airport Operations and Support Elements
(ATC, Mtx Hangars, Catering, etc.)

Each Section team consists of three to five members with a


lead and co-lead.
Task Force members agreed on additional topics to include
in the updated manual:

• Collaboration / Communication strategies with external


stakeholders
• Surface Access/capacity issues - road, rail (regional and
commuter), ferries, etc
• Airport City developments
(continued):

• Sustainability
• Passengers with Reduced Mobility (PRMs)
• Military operational interfaces – airport “sharing”
• General aviation – airport “sharing”
ICAO Work program:
• Final draft of completed update due
from AMPTF work team early Q4
2018.
• Additional phases required for editing,
translation (6 languages) and printing
2019
• final hard-copy versions available Q4
2020.

Section 1: The Airport Planning Process


What is an airport master plan?
An airport master plan is the airport‘s vision of how the
ultimate development potential of the airport could be
realized.
• It is a physical representation of an airport's long-term
capital investment / business plan
• It will provide an indication of how capacity
enhancement may proceed over the short (0-10 year),
medium (10-20 year) and long (20+ year) terms.
12
A master plan indicates how developments are linked to:
• Air traffic type & demand
• Economic & environmental factors
• Investment requirements
• Financial implications & strategies

Master plans should be developed for new and existing


airports to guide their development and business strategy.

13
A master plan is a long-term guide to development that
supports an airport's business development strategy.

It underpins a preliminary assessment of financing.

It is an indication of required investment levels.

14
A master plan provides a
context for constructive
consultation to take place
between all stakeholders,
with the objective of
reaching a consensus on all
major decisions & changes
to the plan over time.

15
Airport master plans at major airports should be reviewed
regularly and also when significant changes in demand
occur.

This ensures that future plans reflect the latest market


conditions, technological improvements & emerging
trends.

16
Without a Master Plan?...
There is a real and
significant risk that short
term decision making will
result in capital intensive
capacity enhancement pro-
jects that are poorly located
and inappropriately sized.
Without a Master Plan?...
Result: Wasted capital on
projects that potentially restrict
the airport’s overall capacity
and performance, thereby
impeding the airport’s ability to
fully utilize the runway
system’s ultimate capacity.
A Master Plan is not:
• A detailed and definitive airport design
• A detailed development program
• A financing plan
• A business plan
• A final solution

19
The changing nature of the airline
business & the potential for this to
impact on an airport's strategic
direction dictates that the master
plan should be routinely reviewed
about every 5 years.

20
A Master Plan is not:
• An expensive and time
consuming exercise
• Something that is done once
and forgotten
• A study restricted to the
physical boundary of the
airport property itself

21
Why have a Master Plan?
A Master Plan is required so
that all airside, landside and
airport support elements can
develop, expand and improve
the operational flexibility and
efficiency of their business in
a structured, balanced and
orderly fashion.
22
A Master Plan ensures that the potential of the available
land and the capacity of the airport's runway system and
terminal area will be maximized.

Airports need a Master Plan to guide their future


infrastructure development in a logical, cost efficient and
affordable manner

A Master Plan also ensures that any adverse impacts on


the businesses of the airport and its stakeholders both on
and off the airport site are minimal.
Master Plans can be tailored to suit specific airport
conditions and situations.

Airports subject to aggressive and continuous growth (+5%


annually) should consider producing and regularly updating
a Master Plan. This requirement should be imbedded in
regulatory process and included in privatization
agreements and contracts.

24
The level of detail in a Master Plan is a function of:

• The size, issues & opportunities at the airport


• Budget considerations include investment so that the
decision making process is appropriate & the evolution
of the plan adequately reflects local conditions & the
special circumstances of its users
• National policies & regulations

25
The airport planning
process can be tailored
to suit the size of the
airport and the available
funding.

Steps outlined in the


chart can be combined
to simplify the overall
process.
26
However some steps
are key to the overall
process:
• Forecasting
• Data Analysis
• Option Development
• Preferred Option
• Financial Analysis
and Phasing

27
Master Plan Phasing and Triggers
Useful Master Plans look far into the future (20 years +).

The future is uncertain.

Good planning therefore addresses “project phasing”


guided by “development triggers”.

28
Phasing:
Not everything has to happen
all at one time.
Balanced capacity enhance-
ments.
Different projects occur as
demand and funding dictate.

29
Triggers:

Throughput triggers
project start with
sufficient “Lead time”.

New capacity delivered

Lead time

30
Triggers
Triggers are established based on agreed levels of
“throughput” – i.e.:
– Annual aircraft movements
– Annual passenger numbers
– Hourly peak passengers
Triggers are NOT based on time (2020, etc.)
This allows the phased development program to “flex” with
the variations in actual growth and assists in the delivery of
“Just in Time” infrastructure.
31
Summary
Developing an airport Master
Plan by following the Master
Plan Process:
• Delivers a long term
development strategy that
supports the vision of the
airport’s future.
(cont.)
• Provides an airport development plan that fits the budget.
• Addresses stakeholders issues and delivers
infrastructure that is fit for purpose.
• Delivers infrastructure that comes on line as and when
needed.
• Outlines development phases and the associated growth
triggers.
• Minimizes the risk of compromising the airport’s ultimate
development potential; the optimal future.
