Day 17 Aviation Management
Airports Learning Outcomes • Planning an airport • Source of finance
Planning • The need of comprehensive systems planning at the national, regional, state • Able to accommodate demand • Considering the needs of the community, the market and the air industry • Economic factor • Knowing recent air traffic statistics
The planning process • Public input and acceptance • The planning organisation • Need assessment and demand forecasting • Air traffic volume • Facility assessment • Environmental assessment • Facility design • Financial planning
The airport capacity The capacity of an airport is constrained by the weakest link in the chain • Airway capacity • Runway capacity • Apron capacity • Terminal capacity • Surface access capacity – road, train etc
An airport should first attempt to identify what it is • An origin-destination facility • Connecting hub • International gateway • Regional end point
Understanding the cornerstone of airport business • Safety and security • Customer service • Environmental sensitivity • Financial responsibility.
Airport Masterplan A comprehensive conception of the long-term development of an existing airport, or creation of a new airport and land surrounding the airport. Essential components of a master plan are • an inventory of the physical facility of th e airport • A demand forecast for short, intermediate and long terms to determine the necessary capacity
3. An assessment of the capacity of the airport to satiate projected demand in terms of air-side capacity 4. Site selection 5. Consideration of potential environment impact 6. Simulation of airport operation 7. Evaluation of the cost-effectiveness and financial feasibility of various alternative concepts and solutions. 8. Preparation of drawings of airport layout plan 9. Plan implementation – schedules, costs and revenue sources.
Airports All airports, in formal terms, are general aviation airports. These include those used by big planes. There are three categories of airports • Public-Use Publicly Owned Airport • Public-Use Privately Owned Airport • Private-Use Airport
KLIA : The history On June 27th, 1998, the new RM9bil Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) - gateway to Malaysia and the region - was opened by His Royal Highness DYMM SPB Yang di-PertuanAgongTuankuJa'afar (paramount ruler of Malaysia). The airport can now cater 25 million passengers annually. The annual cargo-handling capacity is presently 650,000 tonnes. By 2020 the passengers handling capacity is expected to increase to 60 million and cargo handling increased to 1.2 million tonnes annually. KLIA has two runways and 106 aircraft parking stands compared to the single runway Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport (former Subang Airport) that has 44 aircraft parking stands. Air Traffic Services were fully provided with the migration of Malaysia Airlines aircraft from Subang Airport to KLIA on Monday night 29th June. At 7.20am the next day, the first domestic departure, MH 1432 took off to Langkawi with the Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohammad on board. The first international departure was a Malaysia Airlines flight MH84 to Beijing at 9am. The first domestic arrival was MH1263 from Kuantan at 7.10am. The first international flight arrival was MH188 from the Maldives at 7.30am. The Transport Minister Dato' Seri Dr Ling LiongSik, officially launched the second runway on 8th October 1998. With the second runway in full operation, KLIA now offers simultaneous landings and take-offs. Before the operation of the second runway, KLIA could only accommodate 30 to 35 aircraft movement per hour. Now it can handle 50 aircraft movement on a segregated mode, in which one runway is used solely for arrivals and the other for departures. Under mix mode operation, the two runways are capable of handling up to 60 aircraft movement per hour. Both runways are over 4000m long and 60 m wide and allow for all types of aircraft without payload restriction.
Airport • Airport forms an essential part of the air transport system. • It is a physical site at which a model transfer from air mode to land modes. • It is a point of interaction between three major components of air transport system • The airport; • The airline; and • The user or client.
Organizations Affected at Large Airport • Air Operator • Local authorities and municipalities • Central government • Concessionaires • Suppliers • Utilities • Police • Fire Service • Ambulance and Medical Services • Air Traffic Control • Meteorology
Cont… • Airline • Fuel supplies • Engineering • Catering / Duty Free • Sanitary services • Other airlines and operator
Cont.. • User • Passenger • Visitor • Non-User • Airport neighbour organization and residents. • Local community groups. • Environmental groups.
National Airports • To serve the interest of the country. • A huge and complicated airport systems and management. • Build using public money. • Build according to the country’s needs and requirements.
Factors that involve • Volume • Aircraft Type • International and domestic split • Number of airlines served • Growth rates
Example in US • Total number of airports is 18,343 (31/12/1994 – FAA) • 72% is privately owned • 28% is publicly owned • Also • 30% is open to public • 70% is limited use.
Function of Airport The airport passenger and freight terminal has 3 distinct functions (Ash and Wright 1992) • Change of mode – physical linkage between air vehicle and ground. • Processing – facilities for ticketing, documentation, control of passengers and freight. • Change of movement type – A smooth transition for a freight coming from a land based vehicle to the aircraft.
Large Airports must able to administer • Handling of passengers; • Servicing, maintenance, and engineering of aircraft; • Airline operations including aircrew, cabin attendants, ground crew, terminal and office staffs; • Businesses prerequisite for the economic sustainability of the airport • Aviation support facilities – ATC, Meteorology • Government functions – Agricultural Inspection, Customs, Immigration, Health
Management and Operational Structure • There is no unique form of structure. • It depends on many factors such as • the size of the airport • Its relationship with the public bodies (govt).
