Runway layout optimisation

Regional airports are of crucial importance, particularly on remote islands with few connections to the mainland. Their development is significant for both, tourism and local residents. However, the extension of their infrastructure is often limited by the surrounding environment – and ever demanding regulatory requirements.

airsight provided its expertise to optimise the proposed extension of a new runway, taking into account the very demanding requirements in terms of runway field length (to reach long range destinations) on the one hand as well as the numerous constraints such as the obstacle situation, flyability, land use and the new EASA regulations for aerodrome certification on the other hand.

In such a difficult environment – infrastructural, operational and regulatory – a holistic approach is essential which makes airsight’s competencies in these subject matters a great benefit for airport project developers.
