Manchester Airport Infrastructure Study
Manchester Airport, the UK’s 4th largest airport handling 22m passengers in 2007, commissioned Mott MacDonald, as part of their term consultancy agreement, to prepare and develop options for the expansion of the airport to 40mppa over a 15 year development horizon for input into the airports' long term business plan to year 2015. Mott MacDonald's role covered all airside and landside facilities including interfaces and transportation systems associated with the terminal buildings.
The scope of the expansion included over 50 new aircraft stands, rationalisation of taxiways and apron areas and evolution of a year by year phasing of all infrastructure development. Particular activities included creation of an apron development model for the whole airport identifying allocations to each of the three terminals by aircraft type, bussing requirements and percentage remote stands, APM requirements and layout for the access to proposed satellite buildings, commercial analysis of passenger retail time on links between stands and core terminals. In addition we analysed the requirements for handling Code F (A380) aircraft in terms of taxiways, aprons, piers and GSE.
