Introduction

Course overview

Airports are among the most complex environments in which to build. Runways, taxiways, terminals, baggage systems, air traffic facilities and airside utilities must often be constructed or upgraded while the airport continues to operate safely, under strict aviation regulations, security controls and very limited working windows.

This Airport and Aviation Infrastructure Construction Management training course explains how to plan and deliver construction projects in airport environments. Participants learn about airport master planning and project types, aviation safety and regulatory requirements, airside and landside construction, pavement engineering, terminal and baggage system projects, construction phasing around live operations, security and operational readiness.

The course draws on case studies of airport expansions and refurbishments around the world.
