... Apron Planning and Design Process 5 potential for changes in the number of operations or an evolving fleet serving the airport is important to consider during this step to ensure flexibility and the longevity of the useful life of the apron. The goal of the demand forecasting step is to quantify, to the degree possible, what the planned apron must be able to accommodate.

... 6 Apron Planning and Design Guidebook that these alternatives will be further evaluated in a later step. It is possible that, in some cases, the project requirements may be satisfied by implementing operational solutions rather than modifying, expanding, or otherwise reconfiguring the apron area.

... Apron Planning and Design Process 7 the planning process, increasing the likelihood of stakeholder support for the project before and after construction. This involvement also helps reflect broader industry perspectives in the planning and design of apron facilities, informing the planner/designer of technologies, operational procedures, and other relevant factors that may warrant consideration.
