Airports & aviation

An airport has a runway with a PCI survey, a terminal with a building condition report and a capital plan that has to fit around a single overnight closure window each week.

Who this is for

Three people, one budget argument

👷

Airside asset manager

Owns the plan and answers for it. Everything on screen is built to make that week easier.

💷

Terminal facilities manager

Holds the budget line and carries the valuation. Cares about defensibility before features.

🏛️

Head of infrastructure

Signs, and is the one asked the awkward question in public. Needs one page, not a tour.

Asset classes

What AIPP scores in this industry

Airports Runways Airport Airside Airport Terminal
📐

Configured for this industry out of the box: condition on the ASTM_D5340_PCI scale, the AVIATION weighting profile, budget shown as Airside + terminal capital plan, and the instruments it answers to (ASTM_D5340, ICAO_CASA139, FAA_AC150, ASTM_E2018) named on every score. All of it is yours to change — the weights are sliders, not our opinion.

The honest bit

3 of 18 assets will not score

That is the demo register for this industry, and the gaps are deliberate. AIPP refuses to rank an asset the evidence does not support — it will not apply a curve, a zero or a middle grade to a thing nobody has inspected. 17% of this register comes back unranked, with the reason named.

3 of 18 assets carry NO condition evidence and NO age. That is deliberate. A demo register where everything scores teaches a prospect nothing about what happens to the two-thirds of their own register that will not — and it is exactly where most tools quietly invent a zero. Open the demo on these.

How it runs

From export to defensible programme

01

Airfield PCI loads on D5340 bands; the terminal loads on its building condition survey. The two are never pooled.

02

Airside safety and regulatory obligation outrank terminal amenity, which is the trade-off an airport actually makes.

03

Closure windows constrain delivery as tightly as money, and the optimiser respects both.

04

The plan reports what will not fit in the available night windows even if funded.

05

The pack separates regulatory obligation from commercial improvement.

What you will see

The screens that matter here

Two PCIs that are not the same PCIAirfield PCI and road PCI look identical and are not — different distress catalogues. The packs are separate, and they cannot be pooled in one trend. That is a small point that has embarrassed people.
The window is the constraintYou have one overnight closure a week. Fund everything and you still cannot deliver it. The plan schedules against the windows and tells you what is displaced by time rather than money.
Airside before amenityThe terminal escalator is in worse condition than the taxiway. It still ranks below it, and the weighting that made that true is on screen.
The obligation floorAerodrome obligations come out first. What is left is the commercial conversation.
The defenceAnd the pack, with the deferred list and the provenance of every figure.

Fair questions

What this industry actually asks us

Do you handle PCN/ACN pavement strength?

No. Strength rating is an engineering assessment AIPP consumes, not one it produces.

Our terminal is leased in parts.

Ownership and responsibility load as attributes, and the plan can be filtered to what you actually fund.

Is CASA MOS 139 built in?

Referenced, with its vocabulary carried. Conformance assessment is not performed and is not claimed.

Run it on your own worst class

Bring one export — the class with the missing condition data and the costs from 2019. If AIPP tells you the truth about it in twenty minutes, that is worth a conversation. If it scores everything and looks clean, tell us so.
