Airport Systems Planning and Design
37th ANNUAL SHORT COURSE
(2.6 ceu)
November 3-6, 2008
University of California at Berkeley
|
|
Registration is open.As a result of significantly improved airport security and a
rebounding economy, by 2005 the total U.S. commercial air carrier capacity and
air traffic had exceeded pre-September 11 levels. Over the next two years traffic continued to grow and most
airlines were once again able to achieve profitability, while industry trends
showed a continued growth of low-cost carriers, the expanded use of regional
jets in markets previously served by larger aircraft, and increased
point-to-point service. As a
result, airports and the air transportation system were again experiencing
signs of stress, with increased congestion and delays. Airports, the FAA, and the new Joint
Planning and Development Office continued to pursue near- and long-term
strategies to handle future traffic growth that was projected to result in as
much as a 300% increase in flights by 2025. Then oil prices soared, driving up the cost of aviation fuel
and wiping out the gains in airline profitability. As airlines cut flights and raise fares in response, the
future prospects for air travel are again clouded in uncertainty, presenting
new challenges for those involved in airport planning and design. Complicating this situation are growing
pressures to respond to concerns about climate change and sustainability. This intensive course provides an introduction to the broad
range of issues that arise in planning airport systems and the development of
new and existing airports, as well as the design of airport facilities to
handle both aircraft and passenger demand. These issues are examined in the context of recent trends in
fuel costs, and evolving efforts to address climate change and sustainability. The course provides an opportunity to explore these issues
with experts in different segments of the industry. The topics covered range from airport and airline economics
and travel demand forecasting to airport capacity analysis, noise analysis, and
environmental planning. Airfield
design, passenger processing, and airport ground access are also discussed. The course is being offered by National Center of
Excellence for Aviation Operations Research. |
