Le projet

Bordeaux-Mérignac airport is the main airport in the Bordeaux region. Its perimeter is conceded to ADBM until 2037.

It hosts a wide range of activities on its platform:

  • commercial activity, with the special feature of the low-cost billi terminal,
  • military activity,
  • industrial activity with manufacturers’ test flights,
  • general and business aviation, with private and club flights.

In accordance with article 58 of the specifications applicable to state airport concessions, and under the impetus of the Grandes Orientations Stratégiques (GOS), ADBM is required to draw up its Schéma de Composition Générale (SCG), which must plan and organize the overall development of the hub up to an ultimate horizon defined at 20MPax, with an imposed plateau in 2037, the end of the concession.

It was in this context that setec was chosen to carry out this strategic study.

Nos missions

The SCG focuses on 4 development areas:

  • Aeronautics section,
  • Land accessibility,
  • Economic aspects,
  • Sustainable development.

The SD component consists of carrying out an environmental pre-assessment of the SCG: noise, energy consumption, biodiversity, water management, etc., and assisting the project owner in managing the procedures.

The SCG was developed in 4 successive phases:

  • Phase 1 : Diagnosis and analysis of existing situation
  • Phase 2 : Air and road traffic forecasts
  • Phase 3: Scenario development
  • Phase 4: Refinement of the selected scenario

setec therefore carried out a complete diagnosis of the hub, drew up air and road traffic forecasts up to 2037 (end of the concession), with an ultimate horizon of 20MPax, and submitted 3 complete scenarios to ADBM, accompanied by decision-support tools including a multi-criteria analysis matrix.

ADBM then made a concerted choice of a preferred scenario, which setec developed.
