The subject of Airport planning & design is quite stimulating and relatively exhaustive, unfortunately not much of the literature or text books are available which can provide enough guidance to provide comprehensive knowledge about the subject. Even in most of the engineering colleges, this subject is not very popular & only superficial information is provided as an optional subject at graduation level.
This book has been written to emphasis imparting knowledge on aerodrome runway system which plays a major role in Master Planning of the aerodrome.
The most-critical part of the airport infrastructure, vital for existence of any airport is the airside operational area. This part of the airport consists of civil-infrastructure facilities needed for safe landing, take-off, surface movement & parking of aircraft. The definitions & explanation about various technical terms related to airport planning & infrastructure are elucidated in this book. The details of all air-side infrastructure facilities with physical characteristics of the requisite air-side elements are detailed in this part. The design parameters, integration requirements & key factors for design of all the elements of the runway system are explained in this book.
This part will provide you plentiful of knowledge regarding planning & design of Air-side infrastructure required for various categories of airports.

Rajesh Jethwani is a Civil Engineering graduate from MNIT Bhopal, with MBA in Project Management. He is the elected Fellow & Chartered Engineer affiliated with “The Institution of Engineers (India)”. He is also a Ph. D Scholar of DY Patil University, Mumbai. He had been brilliant in academics all through.
HeLeading such of its kind novel concept for developing the Aerotropolis project right from the scratch, in an entirely new era of beginning of Airport privatisation in India, was challenging yet fascinating. He was associated with this project right from the Inception level to airport-operationalization. This project provided him comprehensive exposure to methodically grasp the entire aspects of development of the Airport-City. This practical experience further strengthened his familiarity regarding government policies for development of greenfield airports & growth of Civil Aviation in India.
He has also been associated with many other major prestigious International airport projects including Bangalore & Navi Mumbai while working with the prominent companies like L&T & AECOM in Key leading positions.
He is a passionate writer and always desires to share his experience and knowledge with the young generation to guide them to success.
Finally, his cherished dream comes true, as he harnessed his wide knowledge & skills acquired during his vivid experience of more than 31years in the Civil Aviation Industry to complete his first book titled – “Aerodrome Master Planning & Design Principles”, in June’20. Following the intense demand of peers two more books on the subject were released soon thereafter. The kindle version of these books are available on www.amazon.com & the Paperback version is available on www.notionpress.com. This book is his fourth work on the subject of Aerodrome Master planning.
He aspires to continue sharing knowledge to develop awareness amongst the young generation, about the Civil Aviation Industry. His aim is to impart comprehensive knowledge to the interested fraternity on the subject of Aerodrome standards & regulations and get skilled in Airport Master planning, Design, Management & Operations. The subject of Airport planning & design is quite stimulating and relatively exhaustive, so more variety of books covering every discipline of the subject are on the Anvil.
