Airport Redesign for Safety and Security: Case Studies of Three Scottish Airports

Abstract

ABSTRACT. This research study set to develop KPIs for airport safety and security using a case study and ethnographic approach to research, the focus was on the role of Facilities Management (FM) in improving safety and security at the airport. The study centred on the management and staff of the case study airport and experts in the fi eld of facilities management and aviation. The methodology for this study is a case study of three Scottish airports, owned and operated by the BAA Scotland (Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen international airports). Data was collected from Civil Aviation Agency, analysed and presented in the study. The study developed a three 'AAA' model (Airport -Aircraft -Airport) and a 3 stage approach to the research process. Evidence in this paper supports the conclusion that planning for airport safety and security are airport specifi c because no two airports are exactly the same, they differ in their; sizes, mode of operations, passenger type and fl ight destinations.

BIM-enabled facilities management (FM): a scrutiny of risks resulting from cyber attacks

“…The adoption of BIM in FM and its incorporation with other systems and networks within the facilities management entails a bridge between the physical building and its intangible assets. Traditional facilities management targets managing the physical aspects of buildings such as fire safety, equipment safety, physical security, and much more (Enoma et al, 2009;Leung et al, 2005). However, security of cyber spaces and digital networking systems and platforms is commonly disregarded and overlooked within the AECO industry (Parn and Edwards, 2019).…”

Safety Culture App: An innovation in Safety Performance System at the Aviation Industry

“…We cannot generalise situations in 2 airports, benchmarking is necessary to a limit but it cannot be done throughout. Every airport has KPI on safety and security, the main focus in airports is the role of facility management [4]. It is very important to build a better airport with improved quality and safety systems.…”

Performance evaluation of terminal airspace system safety, delay and predictability of Muritala Mohammed International Airport, Ikeja Lagos, Nigeria

“…The safety is a critical factor in the performance of any airport across the world (Chang et al, 2015;Enoma & Allen, 2007;Enoma et al, 2009;Leva et al, 2015;Pacheco et al, 2014;Roelen & Blom, 2013). Despite this great interest in airport benchmarking, the authors advocated that there is limited value in simple comparisons between performance indicators.…”
