Airport Licensing & Master Planning
Following the decision by the Airport Owner, the project included a full airport regeneration master plan and route to airport licensing, including runway rehabilitation, ducting for future lighting and GPS approach infrastructure, building of new aircraft hangars, fuel farm and airport industrial estate.
Additional work included preparing for introduction of new FISO air traffic services, a new FBO, on-site café and aircraft fuel farm facilities.
The Airport was licensed within 18 months and successfully underwent its first audit with the CAA with an exemplary NIL audit findings and NIL observations report.
The Airport is now successfully operating Commercial Air Transport Movements
and has introduced aircraft handling services in the refurbished air traffic
control tower via the FBO, has completed the construction of new hangar
buildings, opened the control tower cafe and is deep into the next phases of delivering the master plan.
Process Mapping & Business Improvement
Reviewing operations manuals for the Airport Authority as part of a routine pre-CAA audit, a number of tasks were identified including creating an improved, more transparent, systematic process for alerting required responders, in the event of an airside medical emergency.
This involved re-mapping the entire process to set out how the organisation wanted to perform this function; clearly identifying the responsible parties for each task, and being able to utilise this process as an integrated form submission.
UK CAA Form 4 Post Holder - Temporary Cover
Supporting a Licenced EASA / Part NCC Air Operator client, providing Senior Management top cover as the temporary Safety Manager (UK CAA Form 4 position). Providing management team training, safety oversight, business and operational improvement whilst delivering the project.
The support for this client allowed greater time for the client to source and fill the permanent position with the right candidate, whilst retaining a suitably competent and qualified Postholder in the role as an interim solution acceptable to the UK CAA.
Further support included transition planning and on-boarding support for the new permanent Postholder, and ongoing ad-hoc support.
