Day 2 - 16 March
Session: Airport Design, Planning & Development

15:50 - 17:00 - PANEL DISCUSSION: Collaboration on terminal projects at US hub airports
Synopsis: Panel Chair: Jarrett Simmons, Assistant Airport Director, Houston Intercontinental Terminal Redevelopment Program, Houston Airport System, USA Unlike in many other parts for the world, terminal development programmes at US hub airports are usually managed through a collaboration between the hub airport owner (often a government entity), the hub airlines and a consultant(s). These entities must work together to achieve common goals while also trying to achieve different objectives. The members of the panel will discuss how they have worked together to achieve these goals. Case studies will be cited from Houston George Bush Intercontinental and Los Angeles International airports.

Audience will learn:

• Techniques in collaboration among airports, airlines and consultants to maximise positive outcomes for capital development for all
• Description of the typically most contentious issues and lessons learned from how they have been resolved
• Goal-setting techniques to find common goals for the capital development
• Discussion of how the cost per enplaned passenger affects hub carriers differently versus non hub carriers for a capital programme
• Discussion of activity forecasts and how airports/airlines differently view the process, and how that affects long-term development
