The demand for air travel is set to increase in the future, but UK airports currently operate at near full capacity. The lack of runway space means airports all over Britain are planning exciting expansion projects, and airport operators such as BAA and MAG are preparing enormous spending initiatives.
However there are significant obstacles to overcome during construction. Sustainable development is now essential in all planning, extending to efficient runways and drainage systems as well as the requirement to reduce the carbon footprint and satisfy local communities. Although expansion is inevitable it is still a priority to maximise the capacity available.
The aviation industry moves so quickly it is difficult to stay up-to-date with all developments. Engineering Modern Airports has been carefully tailored to provide you with the information you need to get ahead in this ever-changing industry.
