Airport consulting

We provide airport consulting for the operation, maintenance, and development of airports in Romania, including Oradea and Bihor, covering capacity, infrastructure, and operational process analysis.

Evaluating airport activity

We offer operational, technical, and safety consulting for the management, operation, and development of airports, starting from the evaluation of infrastructure configuration, traffic characteristics, and existing process performance. We correlate available capacity with the hourly and seasonal distribution of operations, fleet structure, usage restrictions, and resource availability. We analyze technical documentation, procedures, operational records, and data regarding interruptions or malfunctions to identify limitations and substantiate intervention priorities.

Capacity and surface utilization

We evaluate the use of runways, taxiways, and aprons by analyzing occupancy times, movement paths, intersection configuration, and access to parking stands. We examine the sequence of aircraft ground handling activities, ground support equipment circulation, and interactions between aircraft, vehicles, and personnel. We identify congestion points, traffic conflicts, and process dependencies, formulating solutions for activity distribution, reducing wait times, and efficiently utilizing infrastructure within applicable safety limits.

Infrastructure and equipment status

For the technical component, we analyze the condition and availability of paved surfaces, drainage systems, visual aids, facilities, and equipment supporting aerodrome operations. We evaluate the organization of inspections, criteria for identifying and classifying defects, traceability of findings, and mechanisms for initiating interventions. We substantiate preventive and corrective maintenance programs based on asset criticality, manufacturer recommendations, failure history, and operating conditions. We ensure that resources, spare parts, and intervention windows are correlated with the need to maintain operational availability.

Coordination of involved organizations

We analyze the coordination between the airport operator, air traffic services, air carriers, handling organizations, and maintenance providers. We clarify responsibilities, information flows, access conditions, and mechanisms for notifying restrictions or unavailability. We support the planning of works and temporary closures, the establishment of intermediate operational configurations, and the preparation of continuity measures for degraded operating situations, adverse weather conditions, or equipment unavailability.

Safety of operational changes

We evaluate changes in infrastructure, equipment, organization, and procedures by identifying hazards and analyzing the effects on the entire operational system. We examine technical interdependencies, human factors, and organizational interfaces, documenting initial risks, control measures, and residual risks. We correlate recommendations with change management processes, the aerodrome manual, and affected procedures, establishing implementation conditions and necessary verifications before introducing changes into operation.

Action plans and indicators

We develop diagnostic reports, flow charts, responsibility matrices, and action plans with priorities, deadlines, resources, and verification criteria. We define relevant indicators for equipment availability, fault repair duration, planned maintenance completion, recurrence of findings, and delays associated with analyzed processes. We support the implementation and verification of the effectiveness of measures, as well as the adjustment of solutions in relation to traffic evolution, infrastructure condition, and airport development goals.

Frequently asked question

Can consulting target a single operational issue?

Yes. The scope can focus on an apron, a workflow, a piece of equipment, or a specific change, with deliverables and verification criteria established at the outset.
