93 An important component of the guidelines developed in this project is the Air Cargo Facility Planning Model, which provides airport planners a single source for calculating space and facility utilization for future air cargo buildings, apron area, and parking space. Professional airport planners tested this model as part of the project's validation process.

94 Guidebook for Air Cargo Facility Planning and Development 9.2 Collect Air Cargo Facility Data The airport master planning process includes completing an inventory of all facilities at an airport, including air cargo facilities. The Air Cargo Facility Planning Model requires air cargo facility data to be separated into the five categories that are provided in the model.
