From the comparative analysis, it can be understood that the main objective for conducting the audit was to provide aspiration for the growth of the airport and to determine the drawbacks that are prevailing in the airport site (Wang, 2019). An audit provides a detailed study of the Terminal factors that play an important role in the maintenance and the proper functioning of the works related to the airports. It also focuses on the various internal and external factor that affects airports. from the analysis of the audit, it can be concluded that there is a large number of scope and options available for the purpose of choosing the destination (Wise et al., 2019). The choice of the destination totally depends on the proper functioning and the capacity of the fuel that can be borne by the respective aeroplanes. This is considered to be one of the most important and vital information that is required to be considered by the different types and kinds of airports (Zhang, 2019).

Requirement For The Changes

After the analysis of the terminal factor of the Newcastle International Airport (NCL) and Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LPL), it has been seen that there are certain situations in the aviation sector that needs some changes (Dewi et al., 2020). These changes are to be made for the purpose of improvement and coping with challenging situations. It is also seen that these changes are required to be implemented as fast as possible. These changes are one of the vital parts of the growth and expansion of the aviation sector. These changes can be sited as follows:

1. Improving the safety and security of the
2. Improvement in the services provided to the passengers (Li and Love, 2019).

• Development in the airport should be made as per the changes and innovations that have taken place in the aviation sector.

1. Improvement should be made for the growth and expansion purpose of the airports.
2. It is necessary that both the airports i.e. Newcastle International Airport (NCL) and Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LPL) should undertake various corrective measures (Pagliari and Graham, 2020).
3. It should aim at the direct access and sharing of information with the passengers

Airfield Considerations

Points Of Comparison Between LPL And NCL

From the above Airport Comparative Analysis Audit, a complete Airfield Audit of Newcastle International Airport (NCL) and Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LPL) have been conducted with the help of the Master Plan (Quick, 2019). The comparative airfield audit has been conducted on the basis of various airfield factors Like Strategic Management. These airfield factors include -Runway length, Number of taxiways, Level of slots at the airport, Overall site size, Engineering facilities (hangars etc.), Control tower, Size of Apron. On the basis of these factors the airfield audit has been conducted efficiently (Saeed et al., 2020).

Comparison Between LPL And NCL

A comparative study has been made regarding the airfield audit of Newcastle International Airport (NCL) and Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LPL). It is seen that both airports have well-developed and well-designed runways (Shadow, 2019). The size of the runway depends on the size of the aircraft. for a large-sized aircraft, the size of the runway should be longer. Whereas on the other hand for a smaller sized aircraft, the size of the runway should be smaller. The length of the runway of Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LPL) is 7,497 ft. And the length of the runway of Newcastle International Airport (NCL) is 7,641 ft. Hence on the basis of the comparison, it is seen that the size of the runway of Newcastle International Airport (NCL) is Comparatively bigger than the size of the runway of Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LPL). It is also seen that the number of taxiways of Newcastle International Airport (NCL) is larger in number than the other airports (Turay et al., 2019).

It also focuses on the various internal and external factors that affect airports. from the analysis of the audit, it can be concluded that there is a large number of scope and options available for the purpose of choosing the destination (Wang, 2019). There are various airfield factors like - Runway length, Number of taxiways, Level of slots at the airport, Overall site size, Engineering facilities (hangars etc.), Control tower, Size of Apron. On the basis of these factors, the airfield audit has been conducted efficiently. These factors provide the basis of comparison for the airfield audit that has been conducted in the two airports namely Newcastle International Airport (NCL) and Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LPL). The choice of the destination totally depends on the proper functioning and the capacity of the fuel that can be borne by the respective aeroplanes. All the factors have been well designed and planned for the betterment, growth of the different types of airport authorities for their proper functioning of the aviation sector.
