Airport Master Planning & Aerodrome Certification

Planning from the Ground Up to 40,000 Feet

Aerodrome Certification

Designing and optimizing aviation infrastructure requires a meticulous, data-driven approach. AGL Aviation provides comprehensive planning and design services for both aerial and ground infrastructure, ensuring seamless integration within the broader National Airspace System (NAS).

We specialize in developing airports, airfields, and heliports, as well as supporting unmanned aerial systems (UAS) operations, adapting to the evolving aviation landscape. Our expertise ensures that airspace users – whether manned or unmanned vehicles, commercial airlines, military operations, or private aviation – can operate efficiently, safely, and in compliance with global regulatory frameworks.

Comprehensive Infrastructure Development

Our data-oriented planning process ensures that every aspect of an aerodrome or airport’s infrastructure is designed to maximize safety, efficiency, and operational capability while aligning with national and international aviation standards.

Key considerations in our planning and certification process:

  • Integration with Existing Infrastructure – Assessing military and civilian aviation networks to minimize conflicts and optimize air traffic management.
  • Advanced Airspace Coordination – Designing airspace usage to accommodate growing demands in commercial aviation, cargo operations, and emerging UAS technologies.
  • Safety & Risk Mitigation – Implementing robust risk assessments to ensure compliance with regulatory bodies such as ICAO, EASA, and the FAA.
  • Capacity Optimization – Developing airport layouts and infrastructure that maximize efficiency while preparing for future air traffic growth and technological advancements.
