Session Topics:

Runway Shift / Extension

Moving or extending a runway is never just a pavement project.

How do you balance operational impacts, environmental considerations, stakeholder expectations, funding realities, and future growth? Join the conversation as airport peers share lessons learned from runway shift and extension projects—what worked, what didn't, and what they would do differently.

ATCT Siting and Development

Where should a new control tower go—and what challenges come with getting it built?

From line-of-sight requirements and airport development plans to FAA coordination and project delivery, we'll discuss the real-world considerations that shape successful ATCT projects. Bring your experiences, questions, and lessons learned to the discussion.

Airport Boundary Resolution

Airport boundaries aren't always as clear as they appear on a map.

Property ownership, incompatible development, access issues, security concerns, and future expansion can create complex challenges for airport operators. Let's discuss how airports are addressing boundary-related issues and share strategies that have led to successful resolutions.

Challenges of Traffic Growth and Rising Terrain

Traffic growth is a sign of success—but can also bring new operational challenges.

How do airports navigate increasing demand while managing airspace constraints, obstacle clearance concerns, and rising terrain? Join fellow airport professionals for a discussion on the strategies, solutions, and lessons learned from airports experiencing growth.

Disabled Aircraft Recovery

A disabled aircraft can quickly become more than an operational disruption.

Recovery planning, stakeholder coordination, specialized equipment, training, and communications all play critical roles in restoring operations safely and efficiently. Share your experiences and learn how airports are preparing for and responding to recovery events.
