Achieving food quality with respect to its flavor and stability is a complex process, especially when considering the large variety of flavor compounds and diversity of food accepted by consumers. Knowledge of all mechanisms involved in the change of food flavor during processing and storage and identifying the techniques for its constant quality assurance is essential. The desire for food prod…
This verifier manual provides an additional resource and support for prospective and current Airport Carbon Accreditation programme verifiers reviewing airport applications for accreditation on entry, renewal, or upgrade at any of the applicable levels (Level 1 through Level 4+) under the programme. It outlines the requirements and process for becoming an approved Airport Carbon Accreditation v…
The aim of Airport Carbon Accreditation is to encourage and enable airports to implement best practices in carbon management and achieve emissions reductions. Accreditation provides the opportunity for airports to gain public recognition for their achievements, promotes efficiency improvements, encourages knowledge transfer, raises an airport’s profile & credibility, encourages standardi…
The level and structure of airport charges are an important part of the commercial aviation ecosystem, affecting decisions on infrastructure development, aviation’s social and economic connectivity and the prices consumer pay for air travel. They also provide important signals to airlines regarding optimal and efficient use of scarce airport resources, including airport slots and reduct…

Whilst we were reviewing our approach to sustainability in 2016, we consulted with several sustainability and environmental stakeholders, as well as our airport business partners. There was a strong consensus that Heathrow should play a convening role in the fight against illegal wildlife trafficking.
One-Stop security is the concept where transfer passengers and/or hold baggage are not re-screened at transfer airports if they were adequately screened at the airport of origin.
Active flow control (AFC) utilizes local active perturbations to induce changes in global flow behavior that result in aero/hydrodynamic performance improvement. It has been a vibrant research area with potential applications in a wide range of engineering fields. This Special Issue is a collection of 11 excellent research papers published in Actuators, showcasing and discussing new advances in…
