CERTIFICATE IN AIRPORT CAPACITY PLANNING

As more and more airports are capacity constrained, this course provides candidates with the know-how of the efficient use of the airports’ resources during day of operation activities. Due to the growth of air traffic some airports are experiencing a discrepancy between available airport capacity and demand. This involves the allocation of constrained or limited airport capacity to airlines and other aircraft operators to ensure a viable airport and air transport operation whilst maximizing efficient use of airport infrastructure.
This course will help you learn how to allocate and coordinate airport slots by applying IATA’s Worldwide Slot Guidelines (WSG), the accepted global standard for the policies, principles, and procedures of airport slot management. Learn how to apply the standard communication procedures from IATA’s Standard Schedules Information Manual (SSIM) to messages between airlines and slot coordinators.
