Experience

As an airport planner and architect, Mr. Ballentine has over twenty-two years of continuous airport-related experience that touches upon all aspects of airport planning and the design of airport facilities. His airport planning experience includes the preparation of airport master plans, land use plans, terminal area plans and the planning of airport-related commercial development sites. As an airport architect, Mr. Ballentine has planned and designed numerous airport facilities including: passenger terminal buildings; air cargo facilities; aircraft maintenance hangars; and airport support facilities including air traffic control towers, equipment maintenance buildings and fire halls.

Mr. Ballentine served as Managing Director of the Toronto Airline Liaison Office (ALO) for four years and was responsible for coordinating airline participation and providing technical support associated with a $4.8 billion Airport Redevelopment Program at Toronto Pearson International Airport. He continues to manage the Airline Liaison Office at Winnipeg International Airport as part of $560 million green-field terminal building program. Responsibilities include the review of schematic design concepts and contract document submissions, the dissemination of design and technical information, and coordination of airline technical input.

In addition to his ALO responsibilities, Mr. Ballentine has participated in master planning studies at a number of hub airports; including Seattle, Orlando, and Philadelphia. These studies, undertaken on behalf of major US airlines, examined future terminal facility requirements based on projected airline activity demand levels.

In a peer review of the Draft Baggage Handling System Master Plan for Denver International Airport, Mr. Ballentine’s participation led to the development of a number of recommendations related to short and medium-term capacity improvements to the existing baggage system.
Mr. Ballentine was responsible for the preparation of a capacity/demand study for Albany International Airport that assessed the current capacity of existing terminal functions and developed a functional program for a potential four-gate expansion to the passenger terminal building.

In 2000 and 2002 Mr. Ballentine took part in the North Terminal Capacity Analysis Studies for Orlando International Airport and was responsible for assessing the capacity of various terminal facilities and providing recommendations with respect to potential capacity enhancements.

Prior to joining AvAirPros, Mr. Ballentine was a senior partner with an aviation consulting firm in Canada, and was directly responsible for all airport planning work undertaken by the firm.
