Assistant Vice President - Airport Planning and Development

The Airport Planning and Development (APD) function plays a pivotal role in shaping an airport’s long-term growth, capacity strategy, and operational excellence. The department drives the strategic planning of infrastructure, capacity, and technical design through four key verticals :

Core Verticals

1. Capacity & Master Planning

• Uses advanced forecast-modelling tools (such as CAST) to validate and optimize airport capacity using data-driven insights.
• Conducts weekly Capacity Coordination Committee Meetings to present traffic forecasts to departments such as Terminal Operations, Security, Commercial, Aviation Business, and AOCC.
• Leads traffic forecasting, land-use planning, and capacity safeguarding to ensure infrastructure stays ahead of demand.
• Maintains and updates the Airport Master Plan every five years, manages AAI NOCAS approvals, and oversees planning regulations and land requirements across departments.
• Represents the airport in external regulatory meetings such as MoCA, AERA, BCAS, APAO, BIAPPA, etc.

2. Airside & Landside Design

Serves as the technical backbone for airside and landside development, ensuring designs adhere to global codes, best practices, and sustainability requirements. Covers civil, architectural, MEP, AGL, drainage, ICT, safety, and value engineering. Ensures governance and design validation of consultant submissions.

3. Project Coordination Group (PCG)

Coordinates stakeholder engagement to ensure projects are aligned with organizational requirements. Through the Method of Work Plan (MOWP) process, ensures all projects obtain functional clearances and comply with regulations for working within an airport environment.

Collectively, these pillars guide strategic planning, capacity enhancement, sustainable design, and seamless project delivery.
