Airport planning

The aviation industry is subject to rapid growth, evolving airline strategies, ever-increasing commercial demands and perpetually changing regulatory and policy environments.

Arup's airport planners help clients to solve today's problems while planning for the future.

Arup helps to optimise the capacity and value of existing assets, while assisting with the complex decisions of when and how to redevelop them. The firm seeks creative operational and planning responses to the complex relationships between aircraft, passengers, baggage, ground transportation and cargo.

The team employs a highly analytical approach, based on an in-depth understanding of airport and airline operations and an appreciation of airports as commercial businesses and public assets. Arup’s pragmatic style helps to realise projects that are fundable, buildable and minimise impact on airport operations.

Whether working for small regional airports or the world's largest hubs, the Arup applies the same high calibre of analysis, creativity and strategic thinking, always focusing on the needs of the client.
