This report is based on the workshop organised to examine Gateway Airport Investment and Development of Airline Services for a Global Economy at the ITF’s 2009 Forum on Transport and Globalisation. The workshop focussed on financing airport infrastructure through airport charges in light of the competitive interaction between airports and airlines. Participants discussed the circumstance…
New fuel and propulsion technologies are being proposed to ï¬ nd suitable alternatives to fossil fuels and new green energy production methods, such as batterypowered and hydrogen-powered aircraft, hybrid systems, and synthetic fuels. Various processes can produce hydrogen, but achieving a low maximum take-off mass is the biggest challenge. Fuel cell aircraft have a low power-to-weight rati…
This book is really designed for anyone involved in preparation of safety and security plans for large events. I am writing this book for two groups of readers. First, I am writing this book for the many people who plan, manage, and provide emergency services support to major events. Few of these people will be subject matter experts in CBRN/HAZMAT but need to know about how to correctly consid…
The book selectively represents the chemmotological aspects of sustainable transport development and providing environmental safety of modern aviation. It is devoted to the relevant problems of rational use of conventional and alternative fuels, lubricants, and other operation materials, as well as environmental and economic aspects of road and air transport exploitation. This book, Sustainable…
In an era defined by environmental consciousness and technological innovation, the aviation industry finds itself at a pivotal juncture. The escalating demand for air travel, coupled with the imperative to mitigate carbon emissions and enhance sustainability, has spurred a wave of transformative advancements. This edited volume serves as a comprehensive exploration into sustainable materials an…
Especially after the second half of the 90s, the Internet became widespread, and the developments in computer and software technologies were accepted as the beginning of a new era with the introduction of Industry 4.0 in 2011. The aviation industry, which has used edge technologies the most since World War II, is experiencing a significant transformation with Industry 4.0 technologies. Automati…
In June 1986, the ICAO Air Transport Committee decided that a manual on airport economics should be developed; consequently, the first edition of the Airport Economics Manual (Doc 9562) was released in 1991. In April 2001, the Air Transport Committee decided that the Airport Economics Manual should be revised as a follow-up to the Conference on the Economics of Airports and Air Navigation Servi…
This textbook is about aviation operations: the organizations and infrastructure in which commercial aircraft operate between airports, providing connections to society with the aim to earn profits. It is about rules, markets, suppliers, airports, airlines, money, people, politics and the aircraft itself. Aviation operations is a sector in which commercial aircraft are operated, deployed, assig…
The European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation (Eurocontrol) took up this topic in the Challenges of Growth project and concluded that À depending on scenario assumptions À the European network will be unable to accommodate nearly two million flights in the year 2035 due to airport capacity constraints. The institutional interest in the capacity issue concurred with our rese…
In addition to updating with incident descriptions and references from mostly the last 10 years, this version is different in two major ways. First, I have reorganized the writing into seven main sections (including a definitive introduction and conclusion containing new material) rather than two parts (A and B). While reading the fifth edition in 2017— when I began the revision process …
