Demonstrate strong comprehension of airports and how the evolving airline industry is influencing the finance, performance, and impacts of airports.

2.       Demonstrate the following skills and abilities

·         Decisively articulate the relationship between airports and airlines as a crucial contribution to the successfulness of airports.

You are required to produce an individual report on the following topic

a)       Assess the key planning challenges involved in developing Terminal, Runway Capacity and accessibility, for airports in general.

b)       Using recent airport planning examples of your choice, illustrate these challenges and explain how these airports met them

c)       Emphasize the impacts that each of Terminal, Runway and Accessibility planning may have on stakeholders

Instructions:

• The word count for this assessment is 1,500 words, + or – 10%.

·         The report should be uploaded on EMA by 10 am on the deadline date

• Late submission will not be accepted or marked.
• This coursework is subject to University Regulations, attention is particularly drawn to the regulations on late submission, CAAS and plagiarism.

It is recommended that your report complies with the following structure:

1. Title page: to include unit name, unit code, the title of your report, your name, and your student number. It could also include a photo for attractiveness and appeal.

2. Contents page (table of contents): a list of the sections and sub-sections (if applicable) of your report. For example, 1.0 Introduction, 2.0 Background to your airline, and so forth.

3. Introduction: a brief outline of your report’s contents and scene-setting material. It is crucial that you keep this succinct yet informative.

4. Part 1 explains key planning challenges involved in developing Terminal, Runway Capacity and accessibility, for airports in general

5. Part 2 uses recent airport planning examples of your choice, illustrate the challenges identified in part 1 and explain how these airports met these challenges. Both technical and business solutions should be emphasized.

6. Part 3 emphasizes the impacts that each of Terminal, Runway and Accessibility planning may have on stakeholders

7. Conclusion summarising your main findings

8. List of references: please refer to the section below

9. Appendices: only use if they are appropriate and relevant. It might be sensible to put your core analysis into the main body and supplementary analysis into an appendix.
