NATS and AiQ Consulting showcase their new Airport Capacity Enhancement Consultancy

NATS and AiQ Consulting showcase their new collaboration at The British Irish Expo 2019, combining their Airside and Landside expertise for Airports to build growth, performance and customer experience.

This unique holistic view of the Airport brings new operational insights that identify short-term fixes, enables long-term infrastructural master planning and allows for Investor Asset Management to deliver assured airport growth.

Quick wins for the Airport will improve peak-time flow, maximise passenger experience and revenue, and enable effective planning of resource and infrastructure to avoid pinch-points. Longer-term master planning will validate capital investment to ensure development of airport facilities are in the right order and at the optimal time.

End to End Airport Capacity Enhancement incorporates independent Airport Operational Performance Surveys, Simulations and Capacity Development Roadmaps that combine to describe the entire passenger journey from kerbside to airspace: passengers, baggage, airside vehicles, GSE, aircraft, taxiways, runways and airspace. Through this new understanding of how each process impacts on the next and associated cause and effect relationships, it provides intelligence to enable significantly enhanced decision making across the Airport.

The consultancy process is highly collaborative through cross-airport stakeholder engagement at every step and with every party: check-in agents, ground handlers, airlines, air traffic controllers – all positively engaged and listened to, benefiting the overall project and client.

Bristol Airport
A successful End to End Airport Capacity Enhancement Consultancy project has been completed for Bristol Airport in the UK, showcasing this new capability to the benefit of the management, executive, stakeholders and passengers of the airport.

The terminal and airside assessments generated an ‘end to end’ capacity model that was used to validate growth plans and support focused short-term operational optimisation and investment decision making.
