Note that the airport is under planning and needed to know the number and type of aircraft it needed
You should investigate and, if not already, become familiar with revenue management. https://w3.accelya.com/blog/airline-revenue-management-strategy-101-its-all-about-alignment
This will help you to understand the relationship between air transport passenger /cargo data and financial costs/revenue.
Historic data provides some guidance for predicting future trends.
If you are in the EU https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php/Air_transport_statistics

Environmental impact is a major part of airline and airspace development.

Many airlines are retiring old, inefficient aircraft. The future may not require as much capacity, as much as lower emissions and fuel types.
For airports;
You will need to understand runway length vs T/O distance, taxi/apron widths vs wingspan and most importantly weight & emissions; as this will determine airfield/landing/parking costs.
Hope that is useful?
There are other consideration for the determination of aircraft type .
The route, the stage distance, facilities available for ground handling and competitors on the airport are factors you need to consider
Quick and dirty: number of annual passengers divided by load factor (e.g. 80%) equals annual seats; this amount divided by 52 weeks/year, by 2 (inbound or outbound pax), by 6 (days/week considering weekend as a single day) and by the number os seats/acft type will result in number of daily flts/day. Since the air transportation product is affected by the frequencies offered (the higher the better), consider a minimum of two daily frequencies a goal.
