Whether it’s the conceptual planning for a new passenger terminal, the full design for an air traffic control tower, or the improvement of a management process, we plan, design, and enable solutions for our clients.

Shaping the future of airports

For over 50 years, Atkins has been working with government bodies, local authorities, airport authorities and operators, and construction companies to deliver solutions for an array of airport projects.

Atkins can assist with each phase of planning, designing, and implementing projects. Our vast portfolio includes a diverse range of assignments—from planning new airports to designing the systems within them to implementing small alterations or system enhancements.

Our expertise and understanding of both airport operations and the airline industry allow us to develop innovative, cost-effective, and workable solutions.

Terminals

Committed to innovative, functional, and effective terminal designAs the focal point of any airport, the airport passenger terminal must accommodate a diverse array of requirements and users. An effective terminal design considers the various flows of passengers and baggage and the needs of distinct user groups including passengers, airlines, airport terminal management, and operations.

Atkins’ designs address individual airspace capacity and air traffic control procedures; typical aircraft mix; runway, taxiway, and apron capacity; land access and parking; population catchment area; and customer service expectations.

Atkins professionals have the skills and experience to translate applicable planning issues into optimal terminal designs that satisfy user requirements, and we have been instrumental in planning, designing, and enabling airport facilities—both large and small—around the world.

Air traffic control towers

Delivering safe, practical, and cost-effective air traffic control towers that are aesthetically pleasing The safe, efficient, and cost-effective movement of aircraft is critical to successful airport operations. Support services, such as those provided from air traffic control and radar approach control facilities, must be continually operational to provide uncompromised safety for pilots and passengers. As such, Atkins fully supports and integrates the critical role of these facilities into our air traffic control tower designs.

Atkins has an in-depth understanding of airport information technology systems, and our engineers are skilled at resolving IT design and interface issues through the specification, development, and implementation of highly advanced communications and control systems.
