The increasing frequency and intensity of weather events require new approaches to airport infrastructure planning, operations, and investment.
Transportation Insights 8: Preparing U.S. Airport Infrastructure for Weather Events summarizes a May 7–8, 2025, Airport Cooperative Research Program Insight Event that brought together airport staff, airport industry practitioners, academics, and other aviation and subject matter experts. Discussions focused on preparing airport facilities, infrastructure, and human resources for unexpected weather events. The goals of the event were to enhance understanding and share best practices for planning for and responding to weather events; explore gaps in existing weather preparedness planning for airport personnel; examine research at the intersection of weather preparedness and airports; and identify future research needs related to weather, resilience, and airports.
