Reducing time inefficiencies associated with the airport master planning process in the USA: Insights from other planning processes

Abstract: Airports within the United States' National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems require updated master plans to qualify for federal funds to complete the capital improvements necessary for maintaining aviation system efficiency. Preparation of such plans can take an inordinately lengthy period. Through both theoretical and case study analyses, this paper develops three hypotheses that relate limitations in the master planning process to its time inefficiency, including misdirected strategies, lack of effective decision mechanisms, and ineffective methods for conflict resolution. Based on insights from a review of alternative planning processes, suggestions for addressing the inherent limitations in the current process are presented.
