What do Airport Planners do? Profile of an Airport Planner at Atlanta Airport

This is in the context of the American Airport Industry. This video I found on Youtube profiles an Airport Planner working at Atlanta Airport, the busiest airport in the world. Click here.

Airport Planners that work for consultants and those that work for an airport do different things. Broadly, the Airport Planners working for Airports do the upfront work and scope out the work that enable a Request for Proposal (RFP) to be issued to the consultant community. The consultant airport planner is hired for a specific task or tasks. The Client Airport Planner represents the Airport and works with the consultant to achieve the goals outlined by the Airport.

The work done by Airport Planners at Airports vary depending on how the airport is organized, the stage the facility is in (old, new), what is the immediate pressing problem (noise, airfield capacity etc.). It also depends on whether the airport does the work in-house or not.
