AbstractDuring the recent decade a lot of research has been focused on identification of the importance of regional airport for the local economy and the measuring and predicting of the airport’s efficiency. With regard to individual airport planning it turns out that airports are not free in the optimization of infrastructure due the need to comply international aviation standards and recommended practices, one the one hand, and the tendency of air transportation system development including aircraft design and airlines’ fleet development, on the other. Furthermore, it is also important to take into account the specificity of each particular airport, including the traffic variability resulting from seasonality, with the airport’s mission geared to it. We found, tha t one of the reasons for the relatively low efficiency of regional airports, given the general trend in the growth in the number of seats for narrow-body aircraft. Likewise, it has been found, that the seasonality of air traffic at regional airports is comparatively high. In addition, this paper spotlights the ways the theoretical model of returns to scale affects the efficiency of the apron of the regional airport and briefly discusses the different interpretations of the definition of regional airport.

Under the Beijing-Tianjin regional comprehensive transportation system, the flow of air passengers between multiple airports in the region is more frequent. The fundamental reason for the flow of air passengers is that there are differences in the level of service quality provided by airports and airlines in the region. Passengers’ choice intention is the consumption and purchase decision of passengers on aviation services. By constructing a Logit model, this paper analyzes the degree of influence on the travel choice intention of air passengers in the Beijing-Tianjin region from five aspects: individual passenger demographic characteristics, travel purpose, ground transportation characteristics, airport operation capacity, and airport soft power. Passengers can effectively predict the choice of air travel mode in the Beijing-Tianjin region. The results show that Beijing Capital Airport is favored by business travelers; Beijing Daxing International Airport is favored by travelers because of its fast security check-through speed; for Tianjin Binhai International Airport, the convenience of getting in and out of the airport by car and the speed of airport security check-through are two significant factors. Indicators do not affect the selection of airports; reasonable follow-up arrangements when airport flights are delayed are the only significant but negatively correlated factor; the research design results provide new ideas for the analysis of passenger travel mode selection behavior in multiple airport areas, enriching the data-driven research on transportation choices.

Full textAbstract:
Sustainable water management is critical for airports as they consume substantial volumes of water to maintain their infrastructure and operations. Airports also generate large volumes of surface and waste waters. The aim of this study was to examine Copenhagen Airport’s sustainable water management strategies and systems from 2006 to 2016. The study used a longitudinal qualitative research design. The annual water consumption at Copenhagen Airport has risen from 2006 to 2016 in line with the increased passenger volumes and aircraft movements. Drinking water is sourced from the Taarnby and Dragør municipal water works. Non-potable water is used wherever possible and is sourced from a local remedial drilling. Copenhagen Airport uses two separate sewer systems for handling surface and wastewater. These waters are not discharged to same system due to their different nature. To mitigate environmental risks and impacts on soil, water, and local communities; the quality of drinking, ground, and surface water are regularly monitored. The airport has implemented various water saving initiatives, such as, an aquifer thermal energy system, to reduce water consumption. The strategies, systems, and the water-saving initiatives have successfully underpinned Copenhagen Airport’s sustainable water management.

The literature on air travellers with psychiatric disorders is limited. This perspective article highlights various travel-related aspects of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The airport experience can be stressful for families of children with autism spectrum disorder (FwASDs). The aim of this study was to explore the airport experience of FwASDs using the value co-creation process approach to assist airport managers in designing improved experiences for this specific passenger segment. This study responds to the current climate in which airports are developing awareness programmes in relation to children who require special assistance at airports. The prevalence of children with ASD is 1/68. While a number of airports throughout the world have adopted procedures addressing the needs of those with cognitive impairment, these advances are far from universal. As part of an academic–industry collaboration between Vueling airlines and the Spanish airport operator Aena, 25 FwASDs took part in an inclusive airport research project in the city of Barcelona from November 2015 to April 2016. Employing a qualitative methodology that incorporated focus groups, ethnographic techniques, and post-experience surveys, the study contributes to extending the body of knowledge on the management of the value co-creation process for challenging passenger segments within the airport context. The study explains how ensuring adequate resource allocation to this passenger segment can improve the family-inclusive design of the airport experience and offers managerial recommendations.

Full textAbstract:
Utilizing an in-depth longitudinal case study research design, this study has examined Hong Kong International Airport’s water management and the annual trends in the airport’s water consumption for the study period of 2011 to 2020. Since its inception of operations in 1998, the airport has used a "triple water system", that has been designed to improve the efficiency of its three major water sources: freshwater, seawater and treated wastewater. The largest water source used by the airport is seawater. In the early years of the study (2011 to 2013), there was a general upward trend in the airport’s annual municipal supplied water consumption. However, from 2014 to 2020, there was an overall downward trend in the airports municipal water consumption at the airport. The municipal supplied water consumption per enplaned passenger or per workload unit (WLU) largely displayed a general downward trend, which is very favorable given the strong growth in enplaned passengers recorded during the study period. The airport’s annual seawater consumption, annual recycled/re-used water consumption and the annual discharged waters oscillated over the study period reflecting differing water consumption patterns.

In this paper are investigated actions for public health protection in airports’ tourism facilities and actions that promote innovation at Airports’ sustainable construction infrastructures to minimize associated pollution threats. An integrated framework is presented based on a comprehensive and analysis of the community airport tourism centers and sustainable design facilities in sustainable construction infrastructures in transportation related to waste management facilities and energy recovery from landfill emissions that are produced at nearby places at airports. Research in Sustainable Airport Designs and Infrastructures is necessary to solve common operating problems, to adapt appropriate useful information technologies, and to introduce innovations into the airport tourism industry. The study reveals sustainability dimensions that are lagging or require much greater attention, such as sustainable designs, environmental management, monitoring, safety and public health protection of tourists at airport facilities. In this study are presented useful solutions for sustainable airport designs that promote sustainability supporting an Integrated Sustainable Tourism Policy for Public Health Protection and Sustainable Development within associated infrastructures and airport facilities. Useful conclusions are made for the airport tourism industry, sustainable infrastructures, environmental technologies, renewable resources, sanitary facilities and associative infrastructures developing innovative near-term solutions to meet demands placed on it.

Full textAbstract:
Income from parking, rental car facilities, and other ground access modes for most commercial airports in the United States is a significant component in revenue. With the emergence of automated vehicles (AVs), or so-called “self-driving vehicles,” these fundamentals could change. Airport stakeholders need to understand the impacts of the emerging AVs to airport planning, design, and operation. If the impact hurts the operational resilience and financial sustainability of the airports, the stakeholders should come up with countermeasures to alleviate the impacts and to ensure the smooth operation and continuous growth of the airport. To serve these needs, this study quantifies the potential impacts of AV on airport parking and ground access by building a simulation platform and applying scenario analyses. Two airports are selected for case study: Tampa, FL (TPA) and San Francisco, CA (SFO). To fill in the gaps of historical data, statistical methods are used to generate inputs for study airports based on historical information of passenger demand, ground access mode split, and parking categories and durations. Furthermore, future scenarios are developed based on reasonable assumptions of the emergence of AVs. Outcomes of the case study show that the emergence of AVs will significantly affect airport operation if nothing as of now was changed. However, the impacts could be different for airports that are more auto-dependent versus those in metropolitan areas with various ground access options. Moreover, this study discusses possible strategies that can help airports generate revenue in the era of emerging AVs.

Full textAbstract:
Airports are one of the segments within air transport and their serviceability ensures air transport efficiency. However, airports are among the largest contributors to the negative environmental impact of this kind of transport. Individual activities at airports leave a negative environmental footprint. By optimizing processes, it is possible to reduce the negative environmental impacts of these subjects. Airport winter maintenance is one of the important activities accompanying airports in geographical areas where winter season is expected due to the climate zone and weather conditions. Effective winter maintenance ensures optimal airport operation and has a significant impact on safety. However, the winter maintenance of the airport causes an excessive burden on the environment around the airports, in particular by applying de-icing agents to aircraft and movement areas, or by emissions and noise caused by equipment for snow and ice removal. The aim of the present article is to optimize the winter maintenance of the airport, namely the deployment of winter maintenance equipment with respect to meteorological conditions while maintaining the priorities for winter maintenance between individual airport areas. The aim of optimization is to achieve the saving of maintenance time and reduce the negative environmental impact of winter maintenance by effectively deploying equipment and devices.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to question whether traditional cost approaches apply to the valuation of an airport now that they are no longer public utilities but very much commercial enterprises. Design/methodology/approach – The research discusses the business model, the ownership and the importance of non-aviation business for an airport. It examines the principles of company valuation and International Accounting Standards in determining an airport’s value. Findings – The paper argues that an airport can be viewed as a specialist property company. A key issue is the role of separability of these assets. The paper concludes that previous research has taken a too restrictive view of this concept. An airport’s value is therefore based on the valuation of its component assets according to common property valuation methods. Practical implications – The paper challenges the traditional view of airport valuation. Originality/value – The paper rethinks the way airports should be valued.

Full textAbstract:
Airports are an essential infrastructure to facilitate aviation. The substantial growth of aviation has led to a significant increase in water usage by airports. Airports also generate large volumes of wastewater that may include contaminants. Hence, understanding sustainable water management practices is essential in the aviation industry. In this study, an exploratory research design was utilized in the examination of the sustainable water management strategies and systems at Kansai International Airport from 2002 to 2016. The qualitative data were examined using document analysis as part of a case study. The quantitative data were analyzed using regression analysis as part of a longitudinal study. The airport has been able to reduce the total water consumption, water consumption per passenger, and water consumption per aircraft movement, even with increased traffic in recent years. The airport sources water from the municipal authorities and reclaims water for non-potable water uses. The airport conducts regular water quality tests which measure the Chemical oxygen demand, total nitrogen, and total phosphates. The airport’s onsite wastewater processing centre processes all wastewaters, which discharges non-reclaimed water into Osaka Bay. With a decrease in water consumption, there has similarly been a decrease in the need to treat wastewater, while the reclaimed water ratio has increased over the period of the study.

AbstractThe objective of this study was to investigate the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions of an airport, to determine if strategies are helping to achieve sustainability targets. Kansai International Airport was selected as the case study, and it is Japan’s third largest airport and there was readily available comprehensive data to enable a study to be undertaken. The airport has a dedicated environmental division and has implemented various initiatives over the past decade or so to reduce the airport’s impact on the surrounding environment, especially since it is in Osaka Bay. The research used an exploratory design, with an initial qualitative case study, followed by a quantitative longitudinal study, utilizing correlation to assess trends over time. Results showed statistically significant reductions in carbon dioxide (CO2) emission from the three facets of airport operations, both in terms of the number of passengers and number of aircraft serviced by the airport. As a result, the initiatives undertaken at Kansai International Airport could be adapted and used by other airports to help reduce their carbon dioxide emissions.

Full textAbstract:
Airport capital improvement programs involve considerable flexibility in investment timing and engineering design. Even though the valuation of flexibility options may depend on several factors, the volatility of future airport activity levels, which largely defines the business risk for airport operators, makes up the focus of the present paper. As such, the paper proposes a model that can be used to value two types of flexibility options common in airport expansion projects. The first type of option—flexibility in investment timing decisions—creates value by conditioning capacity expansion decisions on trends in airport activity levels. The second, flexibility in engineering design, permits operators to influence their demand composition and to reconfigure airport facilities if their business environment changes unfavorably. A Monte Carlo simulation example also demonstrates the application of the proposed valuation model. The results show that flexibility options add economic value by reducing downside exposures and by providing the ability to increase capacity if enplanements stay on a rising trajectory. Moreover, the paper provides a comparison of enplanement growth rates by airport size for the largest 140 U.S. airports from 1990 to 2016. The analysis shows that medium airports may be uniquely positioned to benefit the most from flexible design approaches. For these airports, results imply higher exposures to excess capacity risks because of the increased persistence of losses, despite the higher year-on-year volatility of small airports.

Full textAbstract:
Airport terminals worldwide generate approximately 6 million tons of passenger waste annually. Increased awareness of climate change and global interventions for environmental sustainability requires a reassessment of airports’ current methods of waste management. This paper proposes a new design concept solution called circular airport retail waste management (CAWM) for airport terminal retail waste processing, which aims to reduce and ideally eliminate airport waste ending up in landfill or incineration. Given the need for novelty and challenging the status-quo, the double diamond design process was adopted as the research method. The research began by collating the current practices of retail waste processing in airports via a literature review and field observations. Secondly, a critical analysis of the current processes was conducted to identify the intervention points. Thirdly, a concept solution was developed based on the circular economy (CE) 9R framework. Finally, the CAWM concept was delivered to airport waste management personnel for review. CAWM offers a structured way of airport retail waste management practices, including the segregation of nonrecyclable and recyclable waste (i.e., different bin designs, color coding, harmonization of waste colors, improved instructions and signage, various bin locations, training, and installing more liquid disposal and donation stations). Airports can leverage CAWM for greater efficiency and cost-effectiveness regarding airport terminal waste processing, such that more waste can be diverted from incineration and landfill to recovery, which will subsequently help airports achieve net-zero targets. This research contributes to the extant CE literature, especially in the aviation industry context, where the academic discourse surrounding this subject and its peculiarities are limited.

Studies on the effect of biospheric value, eco-design, and green management intransigence on perceived green performance in the tourism and hospitality industry are gradually emerging. However, more evidence is needed from the aviation industry or airport context, especially in Africa. This cross-sectional study aims to probe and demonstrate the effect of biospheric value on green management intransigence and perceived green performance, the mediating role of management intransigence and biospheric value, and the influence on pro-environmental behavior among airport management and employees. The extended theory of planned behavior (TPBe) and triple bottom line theory (TBL)/sustainable economic development theory (SED) (TBL/SED) set the foundation for this research study. With the case study approach, data were collected through online questionnaires from employees and management staff of two international airports in Lagos and Abuja, Nigeria. This scientific study contributes to the literature on green energy by shedding light on the importance of integrating green practices into airport operations with environmentally friendly programs. Its focus on green management intransigence and its implications on employees’ behavior has received little or no attention. The data were analyzed using PLS-SEM and Importance–performance matrix analysis (IPMA). The IPMA is innovative as it helps to extend the results of PLS-SEM by also taking the importance and performance of each construct into account graphically as it relates to green airport management. IPMA posits that management tends to take actions to improve conditions that enhance factors of most significant concern to stakeholders. Our results reveal the effect of biospheric value and the behaviors of management and nonmanagement staff of the selected airports on the green performance with apparent differences in the group-specific performance. In practice, this implies an urgent need for airport management to review their approach and strategy to sustainable practices, airports’ resilience, and adaptation to climate change for sustainable tourism development. This study advances scientific and practical knowledge of eco-design of airport buildings (EAB), biospheric-value (BV), and green management intransigence (GMI). The findings can assist decision makers and practitioners in embracing green technologies and practices in airport management and operations.

Indonesia's air transportation business has grown substantially to suit the community's transportation needs. An increasing number of people travel by airline each year. By way of secondary and tertiary multiplier effects, the intensifying competition between airport services provided in neighboring regions is likely to have a multiplier influence on a territory. Simultaneously, airport services that are more competitive are focused on areas with rising economic growth in sectors like tourism. MAS is an airport system consisting of at least two airports within a metropolitan area that support civil aviation. MAS includes both big and small airports. MAS is the development of an air transportation system to suit the growing demand for air transportation services. As an example of an integrated multi-model airport design in Indonesia, this research will examine Juanda International Airport, Surabaya, as the major airport and Abdul Rachman Saleh Airport as the secondary airport. In order to establish an integrated multi-modal airport in Indonesia, it is necessary to adopt a multi-airport system. This study's airport location is in East Java Province and includes two airports: Juanda International Airport and Abdul Rachman Saleh Airport. The Juanda International Airport is situated in Sedati, Sidoarjo, whilst the Abdul Rachman Saleh Airport is in Pakis, Malang Regency. Using modelling findings and final passenger statistics, airport capacity in 2045 is determined. The results demonstrated the necessity for more comprehensive points in the MADAM simulation used in this research study, which can estimate a number of crucial parameters.

Full textAbstract:
This paper proposes a new airport typology that might arise from the expansion of airports with dominant low cost carrier traffic. In the first part of the paper, the typologies and different airport categorizations are reviewed with examples of current taxonomies used by principal international organizations. However, none of the current airport taxonomies takes into account low cost (LCC) carriers and cannot be used to create an airport market strategy with LCC operation. The paper highlights the characteristic of LCC features, the differences between the LCC airlines, and the characteristics of secondary – low cost airports. Finally, the paper proposes a new taxonomy of airports with low cost operations based on the airport data analysis and expert panel elucidation. For identification of airports with a high share of low cost carriers, Eurocontrol 2013 data on airline types and movements were used. The novel classification of low cost airports enables management to design marketing strategies to respond to LCC dominance and its implications. The main contribution of this research is to provide a novel classification for low cost airports which is relatively new phenomenon comparing with the problems of full service carriers dominance at large airports.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this paper is to design an approach to evaluate the expected efficiency and performance of future airport infrastructure. First, an airport sampling method to select similar airports is developed based on socioeconomic and operational airport variables that are summarized in a proxy variable; second, the ARIMA-GARCH-Bootstrap method is applied to forecast the selected outputs (PAX and ATMS) whilst the selected inputs (Cities, Gates, Runaways, Airport Size, Pax carriers, and Num. of employees) remain constant; and third, the VRS-OO and the CRS-OO DEA models are implemented to evaluate the efficiency and performance of the airports in the current and future years. The proposed approach is used to evaluate the future airport infrastructure of the new Mexico City Airport against 19 representative worldwide airport hubs. The proposed approach is applied to analyze the Mexico City Airport multi-airport system infrastructure as a case study. The results show that this multi-airport system requires more airside infrastructure that must be added by the new Mexico City Airport, airlines should operate aircrafts with more capacity to serve more PAX per ATM, and airlines must open new connections at the new Mexico City Airport to increase the expected efficiency and performance of this multi-airport system.

The growth in demand for air transport and budget constraints put the pressure on airport development. Therefore, airports worldwide need to finance themselves and look for better managerial tools to improve airport efficiency. Business models and business model innovations as a means of strategic management are proved to have positive impacts on performance. However, the studies relating to airport business models are scarce and lack scholarly attention, especially in the contexts of small airports. Consequently, to bridge the gap in the literature, the dissertation’s goal is to design business models and propose business model innovations using a case study of local and regional airports in Thailand.

The use of photovoltaic power plants is gradually increasing in order to reduce energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions at airports. Airports are suitable settlements for the installation of photovoltaic power plants as they have vast and free of shade areas that are not used in aviation activities. In this study, a 1 MWp photovoltaic power plant is proposed for Gaziantep Airport, Turkey. Performance, economic and environmental benefits of the proposed system were analyzed using the PVsyst simulation tool developed by the University of Geneva in Switzerland. The study demonstrates that Gaziantep Airport is suitable to installation of a grid-connected photovoltaic system and has a high solar energy resource. The proposed photovoltaic power plant at Gaziantep Airport is predicted to operate with an annual electricity generation of 1702.09 MWh, 78.6 % annual average performance ratio (PR), 19.43 % average capacity factor (CF) and 4.67 [h/d] annual average daily final yield.

This paper aims to analyze the key elements influencing the airport passenger experience at Cairo International Airport (CIA). The research confirmed that four main dimensions (the airport’s services and facilities, access procedures, environment and personnel) have a significant positive effect on passengers’ perception of the overall airport experience. The research proved that the airport’s services and facilities is the most influential dimension of the passenger experience. The results also revealed that socio-demographic variables have a significant influence on passengers’ impressions towards the overall airport experience. The paper confirmed that the airport customer care, airport ambiance, airport design, dining areas and staff efficiency are the primary elements of the passenger experience. Passengers’ ratings of CIA were found to be below average in the most influential areas of the airport experience. The research concluded a number of recommendations that aim to enhance the overall passenger experience at CIA.

Shortly after the passage of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991, the Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Aviation Administration recognized that there was very little guidance available for airport operators and metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) to use for planning intermodal access to airports in the United States. As a result, the Intermodal Ground Access to Airports: A Planning Guide was developed. This Guide is designed to provide guidance to states, MPOs, and airport operators on the types of analyses that should be performed when airport access is being planned. It describes the airport access planning process and procedures for performing analyses. During the development of the Guide, relationships were developed between the level of originating passengers at American airports and the characteristics of airport access and landside facilities. The types of characteristics that were related to originating passengers included public parking, vehicle trips, terminal curbside design, and mode of access. Some of the relationships that were developed, how they were derived, and their importance to airport access planning are now presented. In addition, some additional relationships that should be developed are suggested.

This paper looks at Airport Terminals as icons in a city and the design aspects for the Terminal building which is the interface between ground & air transport. The architecture of Terminal building involves diverse perspectives of analysis and understanding. As glamorous gateways to a city, Airports are representative and first impressions of the city. Hence, form and function of Terminal buildings are both equally prime aspects of planning & design. Cities vie for world class airports- domestic or international, as they are a city’s pride like any other monument or landmark, catering to visitors across cities and nations. Airports are generally planned for a longer life term functioning at least for half a century with intent of good possibility of future expansion. A Terminal has two sides to it; land-side and air-side. While passenger comfort and safety are of utmost importance, on air-side the operational activities of the aircrafts require critical planning and management. They are large establishments involving architecture and technical design detailing at various scales. Apart from the primary objectives of passenger needs, airline operational needs, airport management- safety & security, there is a community objective as well; which involves a facility for citizens; airport building itself being an aesthetic and integral part of the city. Indian cities are witnessing unprecedented growth in air travel and expectations of a good experience at the Airport is deemed prerogative. ‘Green Airports’ are the current theme in India going the social & environmental way of design & conceptualization.

Full textAbstract:
Dynamic inductive charging is a contact-free technology to provide electric vehicles with energy while they are in motion, thus eliminating the need to conductively charge the batteries of those vehicles and, hence, the required vehicle downtimes. Airport aprons of commercial airports are potential systems to employ this charging technology to reduce aviation-induced CO2 emissions. To date, many vehicles operating on airport aprons are equipped with internal combustion engines burning diesel fuel, hence contributing to CO2 emissions and the global warming problem. However, airport aprons exhibit specific features that might make dynamic inductive charging technologies particularly interesting. It turns out that using this technology leads to some strategic infrastructure design questions for airport aprons about the spatial allocation of the required system components. In this paper, we experimentally analyze these design questions to explore under which conditions we can expect the resulting mathematical optimization problems to be relatively hard or easy to be solved, respectively, as well as the achievable solution quality. To this end, we report numerical results on a large-scale numerical study reflecting different types of spatial structures of terminals and airport aprons as they can be found at real-world airports.

Airport design has improved significantly in the last 20 years. Design has moved from simple protection from the elements to almost full automation. Many older airport facilities are now outdated and require replacement. The decision to replace must be made based upon benchmarking with similar airport facilities. Summarises the current position with airport design and suggests that efficient use of facilities cannot depend upon shareholder return alone but must be based on national interest and efficiency demonstrated through external benchmarking. Suggests that facilities managers must be aware of the expectations of the airlines and passengers and the indicators used in the assessment of performance. Outlines the reasons that influence an airport’s decision to upgrade or replace its terminal facilities.

Abstract All of the pollutants found in stormwater runoff at airports, including surface and aircraft de-icing/anti-icing glycols, can be treated and removed to low levels in well-designed sub-surface flow (SSF) constructed wetland systems. There are two common forms of constructed wetlands used for pollution control: those where water flows over the surface among wetland plants (free water surface or marsh type wetlands); and SSF types where the wastewater flows below the normally dry surface of a gravel substrate in which the wetland plants grow. SSF wetlands have no open water to attract waterfowl and are particularly suitable for use at airports. Of the glycol used at Edmonton International Airport (EIA), 80 to 90% eventually entered surface runoff. Edmonton International Airport's operator, the Edmonton Regional Airports Authority (Edmonton Airports) evaluated a number of glycol management options, including constructed wetlands. As a result, a very large SSF wetland system was installed to handle glycol-contaminated stormwater. This paper reviews results of a feasibility study carried out to define design parameters and scale up kinetics for this wetland system, the detailed design that resulted, the SSF wetland's construction, and the start-up of the Edmonton facilities in August of 2000. It also compares the Edmonton wetland system with a similar facility at Heathrow Airport in the United Kingdom.

Abstract The population growth has resulted in demands for transportation needs to be able to carry out activities outside from home such as work, schooling and even travelling to other city dan countries. A transportation equipped with rest area facilities in order to facilitate the comfortable movement of resident activities. From these conditions, a rest area design is needed, especially at airports that can provide convenience and comfort for residents who want to travel to other city dan countries. This study used a qualitative descriptive method by collecting primary data, studying literature from similar projects. The rest area design at Soekarno Hatta Airport produces a rest area design that accommodates the density of visitors at Soekarno Hatta Airport by using the eco building concept in the building which is expected to provide comfort and convenience in using transportation in airport.

The aviation industry is a prominent contributor to economic development. The existence of an airport hub that provides a worldwide transportation network generates economic growth, creates jobs, and facilitates international trade and tourism. This industry also helps in connecting different continents, countries, and cultures. This study utilizes the Data Envelopment Analysis models Charnes, Cooper, and Rhodes (CCR), Banker, Charnes, and Cooper (BCC), Slacks-Based Measure (SBM), and Epsilon Based Measure (EBM) in analyzing and evaluating the operational performance of the 21 major airports runway design during the years of 2016–2019 using the data of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) air transport statistics. The objective of this paper is to assess the efficiency of various airport runway configurations based on input factors such as number of runways, dimension of runways, airport area, and output factors such as annual number of flights and annual number of passengers. In the four applied models, the results indicated London Heathrow Airport (LHR) and Munich International Airport (MUC) are efficient in utilizing the runway during the considered periods. Surprisingly, airports in the Asian continent with a parallel runway design are more efficient than in North America and Europe. This study can be a valuable reference for operation managers in evaluating and benchmarking the performance of an airport with different types of runway configurations. Moreover, it can be used by decision-makers, investors, stakeholders, policymakers, private companies, and government agencies as a guideline suitable for an airport.

The airport ground transportation system is receiving increasing attention from airport authorities and regional transportation planning agencies. The need to plan for facilities at the airport and concern about the impact of traffic on streets and highways surrounding the airport, and about emissions generated by this traffic are forcing airports to consider strategies to reduce or mitigate ground access traffic. The 1991 Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act has caused transportation agencies at all levels to address the integration of different transportation modes, including coordination between the air and surface components of the transportation system. The range of ground access planning issues is reviewed, and three alternative strategies to improve intermodal connections at airports are discussed: new or upgraded rail links, off-airport terminals, and ground transportation centers at the airport. The planning and design issues that arise with each type of facility are addressed, as well as the analytical tools and data needed to evaluate the wide range of airport ground access projects and to plan the implementation of those selected. These include air passenger and truck surveys, development of operational data on the ground access system, and use of access mode choice and traffic flow models. Research needs in the area of airport ground access are also discussed.

With the status of an international airport and the size of this airport, the airport enforces a policy, namely that every area in Hang Nadim Airport has certain access restrictions. Airport employees can pass through or enter several vital areas of the airport, in contrast to shopkeepers or tenants, cargo employees, and airline employees, they cannot enter the airport area freely, usually all workers at the airport have certain area restrictions on the card The airport's Public Address System (PAS) is used and has been determined. The objectives and expectations of this research are to analyze the needs, design, and implement a web-based PAS card service system at Hang Nadim airport. By determining the system design method used by researchers in making this research, namely the Waterfall method, and concluding that, the pass card service system at Hang Nadim Airport Batam currently has too many unnecessary procedures, which makes the bureaucratic process of making existing pass cards. In that place it seems convoluted. With the new system it is hoped that it can cut more unnecessary time and procedures, and the application of web-based PAS card services at Batam Hang Nadim airport which is designed is expected to simplify the process of making the pass card itself, as well as the implementation process at Batam Hang Nadim Airport. Done by installing software and also the required hardware and a system server whose system design only reaches the proposed stage of system implementation.

As part of the agency's broader noise research program, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has undertaken a multi-year research effort to quantify the impacts of aircraft noise exposure on communities around commercial service airports in the United States (U.S.). The overall goal of the study was to produce an updated and nationally representative civil aircraft dose-response curve; providing the relationship between annoyance and aircraft noise exposure around U.S. airport communities. To meet this goal, the FAA sponsored a research team to help design and conduct a national survey, known as the Neighborhood Environmental Survey (NES). Residents from households around 20 airports were selected for participation in the survey; the detailed sampling process is covered in another paper. Two survey instruments were administered to adult residents within the NES: a mail questionnaire and a follow-up telephone interview for the mail respondents. The mail survey was administered to samples of individuals in the selected airport communities in six separate "waves" over a 12-month period starting in October 2015. All mail survey respondents were invited to complete a follow-up telephone interview, which asked detailed questions on several areas including respondents' opinions on noise, exposure to aircraft noise, relationship to the airport, concerns about aircraft operations, views on airport community relations, among others. Analysis of the survey responses on annoyance levels and the associated DNL was used to estimate dose-response curves for each individual airport and a national dose-response curve. The national dose-response curve created from the mail questionnaire shows considerably more people are highly annoyed by aircraft noise at a given noise exposure level compared to historical FICON data. This paper provides a detailed discussion of the survey design and methodology. Additional information describing the motivation to conduct the NES and how its findings will help inform ongoing work to address aircraft noise concerns; and the noise methodology are provided in companion papers.

The physical environment of airports plays a crucial role in improving travelers’ perceptions and well-being. Adopting a green physical environment may elicit customers’ cognitive and emotional responses and provide a convenient consumption environment. Brand experience and engagement are other important consumer–firm interactions that influence the attributes of the passengers’ well-being. The current study sought to assess the impact of the eco-design of buildings, brand experience and engagement on the well-being of travelers at an international airport in Saudi Arabia. Additionally, the current study investigated the possible effects of eco-design on airport experience and engagement. The results of the structural equation modeling analysis revealed that the eco-design of airport buildings was independently associated with passengers’ well-being and brand engagement, but not with brand experience. Additionally, well-being was significantly predicted by brand engagement and experience. Airport managers are advised to adopt an internal eco-design to help promote passengers’ connection with the brand and improve their well-being, which would eventually be reflected in their behavioral attributes and decision-making.

Full textAbstract:
Congestion at busy airports has become one of the major bottlenecks to air transportation development around the world. Airport congestion pricing is one of the most popular market-based mechanisms to relieve airport congestion. This study develops a steady-state congestion model, which considers the market power of airlines and the costs of externalities (i.e., airlines, passengers, and the environment), to estimate congestion fees for different times and queue lengths. To reduce airport congestion fees, we propose and discuss two different options for airlines: schedule adjustment and flight merging in detail from the views of economic, operational, and environmental benefits, and provide a comparative performance analysis of two different measures using an empirical example of Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN). Our analysis shows that: (1) during the peak period, the congestion fees for one specific flight (operated by B738) may exceed 10,000 RMB, even reach 25,000 RMB; (2) both the methods can relieve congestion and effectively reduce congestion fees; (3) in the CAN case, flight merging by a bigger aircraft B744 is more effective in congestion relief, total fees reduction, and emission mitigation; and (4) schedule adjustment has a better performance of reducing fees per adjusted flight and is more simple and straightforward. We also provide several recommendations to relieve congestion and cut congestion fees.

The topic of this thesis is wastewater treatment and recycling of Western Sydney Airport. Due to the airports’ increasing demand for water and the limitation of total water resources, it is necessary to design a wastewater treatment and recycling system for Western Sydney Airport. There are two primary types of wastewater generated by an airport: wastewater generated by passengers and wastewater generated by the operation and maintenance of the airport. The treatment of these two types of wastewater should be designed separately since these two types of wastewater have different pollutants. The primary pollutants of wastewater generated by passengers are similar to domestic wastewater, which contains organic pollutants, the primary pollutants of wastewater generated by the operation and maintenance of the airport are nitrogen and carbon compounds. By designing a wastewater treatment and recycling system, the water consumption of the airport can be reduced significantly.

Purpose This paper aims to answer the following question: Is PPP a financially viable alternative for the management of regional airports in Brazil? Design/methodology/approach The methodology is based on the case study of the innovative model of Zona da Mata Regional Airport management. It was used Value for Money as a method to compare this case with the conventional airport management alternative. Findings It was observed that, when compared to the airport management alternative through contracting third parties, the public–private partnership (PPP) provided a reduction of almost 70% of public spending on the management of this infrastructure. Besides the financial advantage, other benefits of this PPP contract were also observed. Research limitations/implications The analyses carried out in this study are not exhaustive and can be improved and remade as the life cycle of the PPP contract studied is progressed. Practical implications It was concluded, from the results found, that PPP is an efficient alternative for the management of regional airports in Brazil, and the model can be replicated for similar airports. Originality/value When analyzing the results of this innovative project of managing a regional airport through a PPP, this work made it possible to measure the positive impacts of this alternative and demonstrate the potential of the PPP as an alternative for the management of other regional airports in Brazil.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop a method for diagramming a base camp or space for emergency workers and a staging area to be used during sorting, storing, loading, and unloading of relief goods in a humanitarian logistics base airport. Design/methodology/approach A method is developed based on a synthesis of the relevant literature and current practices of airports. This provides a means for estimating the area required for each facility and visualizes the layout of the base through an adjacency diagram and a bubble diagram. The method is applied to the Shizuoka Airport in Japan as a case study. Findings The proposed method can be used to determine the approximate size and layout of a humanitarian logistics base in an airport based on the affected population and the number of emergency workers. Research limitations/implications Airport operation regulations and mathematical models from architectural planning need to be reflected further. Practical implications The method provides potential operational improvements for policies and standards for airport operations and enables government officials and humanitarian logistics organizations to identify concerns in facilitating and managing constraints in existing airports. Originality/value This study addresses the detailed phases in a diagramming for a humanitarian logistics base airport by integrating an architectural approach and airport disaster management.

Full textAbstract:
The airport, in general, has a huge catchment area and a hardstand area that includes runways, taxiways, as well as parking aprons. Therefore, these areas are expected to produce a huge volume of stormwater. Besides this problem, the jet fuel and suspended solids contaminate the stormwater flow rate; hence, much consideration should be given in designing the treatment system to ensure that there is no back-flow expected during the high stormwater production to avoid any flooding occurrences in the airports. Currently, the stormwater treatment system in the Malaysian airport is minimal, and there is no specific treatment for the stormwater contaminated with jet fuel in Malaysia. In this paper, an oil-water separator named Corrugated Plate Interceptor (CPI) was explored to treat stormwater contaminated with jet fuel in the airport. Treating the airport stormwater contaminated with oil, grease, or jet fuel could significantly reduce the contamination issue and develop an environmentally friendly airport in Malaysia. The CPI has combs of plates arranged in packs, and this creates the surface areas for the removal reaction of jet fuel and suspended solids between the incoming contaminated stormwater and the plates. Accordingly, in this paper, the design and development of CPI were discussed, particularly on the design criteria for the oil-water separator, standardized tank dimensions, oil storage capacity in the tank, sludge storage capacity in the tank, and finalized plate packs.

Purpose Travelers are both surrounded by and perform places, thus making places ambiguous sites that “come alive” when travelers use them and engage in various performances. A place many travelers pass through is the airport. Airports are places where travelers’ performances are restricted in many ways and waiting is a key element of the airport experience. This paper contributes with knowledge on what airport terminals “are”, not as designs or material objects but as places enacted by travelers. In doing so, the paper aims to emphasize on both how travelers “see” airports and how they use them. Design/methodology/approach The study uses different qualitative methods and notions of time and waiting. Sources of data are small-scale netnography, focus group interviews, observations done at airports and qualitative interviews. Findings The study shows that airport terminals are heterogeneously enacted environments that are heavily inscribed with the mundane act of waiting and travelers use a series of different strategies to “use”, “spend” and “kill” time. Furthermore, whereas more affluent travelers spend waiting time using airports’ commercial offerings (shopping, restaurants, bars, etc.), less affluent travelers do not have the same options. Research limitations/implications The research points to airport terminals as not only “places of movement and mobility” but also “places of waiting” inscribed with boredom and travelers actively fight boredom by spending, using and killing time in a variety of ways. Furthermore, the study points to significant differences between affluent travelers and other travelers and differences between people travelling alone and in groups. Therefore, a call is made for research focusing on less affluent travelers, people traveling in groups and on waiting and waiting time. Practical implications The study suggests that airports are more than consumerscapes and places of movement, hereby questioning the current focus on commercial revenues. Social implications The study points to airport space as space “inhabited” not only by travelers willingly taking on the roles as consumers but also by travelers that kill, spend and use waiting time in other ways, hereby questioning the idea that airports are places for the “elite”. Originality/value Travelers associate airports with boredom and inscribe them with waiting. However, travelers “fight” boredom and waiting with performances and acts designed to use, spend, pass and “kill” time. Hereby, travelers not only accept but also construct the seemingly mundane act of waiting as restricted, negotiated and confined, but nevertheless meaningful performances.

This paper conducted research on the efficiency of the Korean airports in operational and environmental aspects. Adopting DEA models, seven variables were selected for analysis. Findings – This paper found that efficient airports are mainly supported by their large business markets, better hinterland connectivity, being a major airport, and effective resource management. Also, comparing the overall productivity of Korean Airports from 2018-2020, it is fair to say that from 2018 to 2019, before COVID-19, internal factors were driving the overall productivity change. Following other airports, Yeosu were successful in enhancing the efficiencies of the internal operation of airports in the 2020 period. It is also notable that, during COVID-19, the level of cargo at Incheon International Airport, and skyrocketed passenger movements at Jeju International Airport affected the level of efficiency. After COVID-19, although internal efficiency was apparently evident as a decisive factor for overall productivity for most airports, some airports (Jeju, Pohang, and Yangyang) focused on external factors such as technology, which was driving the overall productivity change in their operation compared to others in the sample in this study. Research Implications – This study implies that COVID-19effects on global trade have changed the way airports operate, as most airports now focus on and invest in safety instruments as well as cargo support services and auxiliary services. Airports will confront an enormous task in the coming years, and these goals are ideologically compatible with sustainable development goals. Airports are here to endorse sustainable development, as well as facilitate possibilities and connectivity, and the disclosure of ESG business information are the appropriate resource to help expansion and improvement.

Full textAbstract:
The main focus of international civil aviation is on ensuring the safety of the aviation industry, the need to address the problems of safe and efficient deployment of new types of aircraft, accompanied by the introduction of new types of operators in aviation. Implementation of effective international and European standards, transformation and modernization of airport infrastructure is one of the directions of Ukraine's work in the process of adapting civil aviation legislation to international and European standards, as well as in developing the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Effective operation of international airports in the XXI century is impossible without improving the unification process.
In the context of global competition, the developed infrastructure of international airports is becoming not only one of the factors increasing the country's capacity for economic growth, but also becoming a competitive advantage in the global market. However, with the expansion of air traffic, the issue of imperfection of airport service infrastructure is becoming more acute, there is a need for balanced development of all its elements.
The aviation industry is one of the most innovative in the world, where infrastructure is created through airports and air traffic control. The article analyzes the ways to restore the infrastructure of Ukrainian airports after the cessation of Russian military aggression, which caused incredible destruction, in particular, in the airport industry, describes the requirements for the design and construction of new and reconstruction of existing facilities at the airport. Emphasis is placed on the fact that regardless of the size and intensity of passenger traffic, special requirements are set for airport security. In the construction of new airports, security begins to play an important role during the preparation of relevant documentation. The design of runways, taxiways, platforms and car parks is subject to exceptionally high quality standards in terms of their load-bearing capacity, properties and durability. It is determined that construction on the aerodrome territory is carried out during the planning of territories by developing and approving urban planning documentation taking into account the restrictions on the use of the aerodrome territory (obstacle-limiting areas, aviation noise restriction zones, aeronautical equipment protection zones, as well as restrictions on landing and departure at the aerodrome, use of zones for training and other flights).
The aim of the article is to substantiate with the use of comparative and systematic methods of priority areas of infrastructure development of international airports of Ukraine, identify current trends in development, transformation and modernization of airport infrastructure, as Ukraine's development is influenced by current global trends.
