Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on the benefits of employing mobile LiDAR technology for airports surveys to deliver faster, safer and better geographical data. Airports administrations are bound to provide geographic data related to infrastructure and obstacles in nearby areas according to international regulations. Acquisition of these data using conventional surveying methods is slow but with low cost. Using airborne LiDAR technology is fast but very expensive. An appropriate compromise is the use of terrestrial mobile mapping LiDAR system. Surveys for Timisoara airport are presented together with the results of the study. In the end, a SWOT analysis is shown for the technology used in the study. Three results are introduced: “Certification Specifications (CS) for Aerodromes (EU) No 139/2014”, “International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Annex 14 Obstacle Limitation Surfaces”, and “ICAO Annex 15 Terrain and Obstacle Data Collection Surfaces”.
