Ms. Fernandez is the leader of Landrum & Brown's Aviation Planning Division.  Throughout her career she has participated in numerous airport master plans, EISs, as well as other airport planning projects of a technical nature including airport/airspace simulation analyses, benefit/cost analyses, delay Task Force studies, forecasting, and feasibility studies.  Her airport planning experience includes major U.S. hub airports and gateways such as Chicago O'Hare, Chicago Midway, Los Angeles, Denver, Atlanta, Miami, Cleveland, Fort Lauderdale and Baltimore International Airports.  Other clients include Sydney, Australia; Cologne-Bonn, Germany, and Hong Kong.

Airport Master Planning and Environmental Studies

Ms. Fernandez has participated in numerous Master Plans and Environmental Impact Statement projects.  Most recently she served as Landrum & Brown's Project Manager for the San Diego Destination Lindbergh Ultimate Build-out project.  This project focused on defining the long-term development plan for San Diego International Airport.  Landrum & Brown's role was to develop the forecasts of aviation for Destination Lindbergh and for the Regional Aviation Strategic Plan, and provide technical support on development alternatives.  She has recently participated on the Baltimore International Airport Master Plan and the Fort Lauderdale Airport Runway Extension EIS, leading the airfield alternatives and demand/capacity analysis for both projects.

Other notable projects include the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport Comprehensive Development Plan, Los Angeles International Airport Master Plan, the Atlanta Hartsfield EIS on the new 5^th parallel air carrier runway, the Denver International Airport's 6^th Parallel Runway Benefit Cost Analysis and the Denver International Airport Concourse A & C Expansion Benefit Cost Analysis.

Airport Land Use Planning and Revenue Analysis

Ms. Fernandez served as the Project Manager for an Alternative Land Use Planning Study for O'Hare International Airport.  The O'Hare Asset Maximization Plan effort is one of the most intensive and comprehensive alternative land use planning efforts ever undertaken for a major US airport.  This study involved the analysis of existing land uses, potential uses based on market demand, possible development or re-development of several thousand acres of on-airport land, anticipated incremental revenues, and possibilities for third party development and financing.  Redevelopment of this land was analyzed in part to support the airport in meeting the financial requirements of on-going capital development programs and provide a sustaining revenue stream for the foreseeable future.
