From Global Gateways to Airport Cities - International Case Studies - continued

Malaysia
Kuala Lumpur International Airport –
‘More than just an Airport’
K.L International Airport is built on 10,000 hectares (25,000 acres) which makes it one of the largest airport sites in the world. The new Airport is a good example of an Airport City being a destination in itself. It is unique because it has within its boundaries all that is needed for business, entertainment and relaxation. Every effort has been made to ensure the finished product is an economically and environmentally sustainable airport combining a serene environment with high technology attractions. Some of the main features within the airport are as follows:
- An environment park containing recreational facilities.
- A golf course within the limits of the airport reserve.
- A Formula One Race Track featuring the annual Malaysian Grand Prix and many other events.
- A 450-room five star hotel Pan Pacific Hotel is
available within walking distance.
Additionally, adjacent to KLIA the Malaysian government has developed
- Putrajaya, the country's new administrative centre
- Cyberjaya, a multimedia centre created for global research and development.

Thailand
Suvarnabhumi Airport, Bangkok,
The new Suvarnabhumi Airport is located 30km east of Bangkok. Construction of the Second Bangkok International Airport (SBIA) began on 9 November 2001 and is expected to be complete by December 2004. Following extensive operational testing the official opening date is set for September 2005. Bangkok's existing international airport Don Muang is the world's 22nd busiest airport and the busiest in Southeast Asia but it has reached its full capacity at 30 million passengers per annum. Suvarnabhumi will be able to cope with 100 million passengers per year and will have four runways with which to do this.The first stage of construction will provide facilities for 30 million passengers annually. Facilities to be completed in the first stage include:
- The passenger terminal consists of seven floors and a basement giving a floor area of 563,000m2
making this the largest terminal in the world
- A 190,000m2 cargo terminal
- Aircraft maintenance facilities: four fully equipped
aircraft hangars to service up to 12 aircraft
simultaneously
- Landside road system: 2x2 lane roads inside the
airport with the total length of 36km
- Electrical railway system: a future extension will swiftly transport passengers to and from central Bangkok
- First-class hotel with 1,500 rooms
- Express freight facilities: one warehouse, one office building, 12 aircraft stands

Bangalore International Airport
At the present airport of the southern India city of Bangalore - also dubbed the ’Silicon Valley of India’ - civil operations share a limited infrastructure with the military. A new airport is being developed with the majority of the investment coming from private promoters. It will be located some 30km away from the city centre in a hitherto rural area. The master plan allows growth for decades to come and it also envisages unlimited potential for real estate investments: an airport city for the mutual benefit of travellers and resident businesses alike.

France
Paris - Charles de Gaulle
- An Airport embracing the local community.
Paris-CDG has been in operation for 30 years now. As it has been initially developed by ADP for the sole benefit of passengers, we acknowledge that acceptance of further development will require a greater opening of the airport towards the neighbouring communities. Therefore ADP is planning on one hand some projects within the airport (shopping centre, train and bus stations) to be opened to the general public, and on the other hand several projects outside airports limits (hotels, offices, rent a car, intermodal freight, etc.) to be developed jointly with the local communities.

Germany
Munich International Airport
Munich Airport is Germany's second largest airport and ranks eighth among European passenger airports. In 2002 the airport was served by 101 airlines flying to 226 destinations in 62 countries. The airport is the economic gateway to the State of Bavaria and the whole of Southern Germany. In response to continued growth in passenger and cargo traffic in June 2003 the airport opened its new Terminal 2 which features 'state of the art' passenger facilities and one of the world's most sophisticated baggage handling systems. However, the airport’s masterplan calls for continuing development in the decades to come which are outlined in this presentation.

People’s Republic of China
Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport -
Ready for Service
The first phase of the new Baiyun International Airport in Guangzhou, one of China's southern gates to the outside world opened in late 2003.The new Baiyun International Airport has two runways providing 860,000 square metres of tarmac capable of handling 60 planes at a time, and can accommodate the world's largest planes, such as the Boeing 747 and A380. Located in the city of Huadu, the new facility will cover an area of 1,456 hectares, about four times the size of the existing Baiyun Airport.The cost estimate of the airport project is 19.6 billion yuan (about US$2.36 billion), 49 percent of which will be covered by the Guangzhou Transport Investment Co. Ltd. The first-phase construction cost about 10 billion yuan (about US$1.2 billion). By 2010, when the airport is finished, it will be able to handle 80 million arrivals and departures and one million tons of cargo annually.

South Africa
Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport -
A Gateway to Tourism Development
Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport (KMIA), located right outside of the Kruger National Park (KNP) in South Africa, is a new airport infrastructure which facilitates air access to and from the Lowveld region. Travellers today have the option of flying nonstop from KNP to Cape Town, thus avoiding the hassle of connecting flights. With further international links for passengers and cargo added in the future, the airport holds the potential of having a significant impact on the development of the Lowveld region.

Conference goals
To build a winning team from concept to completion and beyond.The emergence of the airport city is a relatively new development and can take different forms depending on variables such as the physical location of the airport and the economic goals of the management team.
There are however, many elements common to all the projects and this conference sets out to examine the key drivers for the development of an airport city. Through a series of industry case-studies we examine how airports have successfully planned and managed the development process and identified the right partners for the key
long-term relationships vital to the success of the project beyond its physical completion.

Conference Mission
To create an interactive forum that brings together
senior airport executives with their peers in the
real-estate, commercial development, retail, hotel, tourism, entertainment and finance industries
dedicated to the creation of airport cities.

The common factor linking airports with these diverse industries is that they all require real-estate for their
operations and many of them also want to benefit from the economic gateway that airports provide.
