Nowadays, air transport is treated as a dynamically developing sector of the world economy. The technological solutions used in this kind of transport are highly advanced; thus, generate high costs, ranging from research through production to the implementation phase. Due to its technological advancement, air transport has several significant advantages over other kinds of transport. This paper presents the characteristics of selected airports in Poland together with statistical data characterising the functioning of the airports. In addition, the plans in recent years regarding the development of air transport infrastructure in Poland were summarised. Keywords: transportation, air transport, civil engineering and transportation 1. INTRODUCTION Air transport is the fastest and safest kind of transport for people and goods in the world. The importance of air transport on a global scale is constantly growing. The increase in the share of this kind of transport is majorly responsible for the development trends and intensification of international economic relations, as well as for the use of foreign investment capital and the generation of a high percentage in the tourism sector.

E-mail: [email protected] AN ASSESSMENT OF AIRPORT SUSTAINABILITY MEASURES: A CASE STUDY OF POLISH AIRPORTS Summary. Air transport, like every economic branch, strives for development. Air traffic is growing dynamically, which means that the natural environment is increasingly being polluted each year. Therefore, entities operating in the air transport sector should care for the environment. One of these entities - airports - introduces many restrictions for aircraft with high CO2 (carbon dioxide) emissions. At the same time, they introduce many ecological activities. Every year, also at the largest Polish airports, managers carry out activities aimed at caring for the environment. The main goal of the article is to evaluate the implementation of ongoing projects related to environmental protection at selected Polish airports. For this purpose, a survey was conducted at Polish airports in March 2020. The main research thesis is that as a result of the development of air traffic, airports will start investing more in innovative solutions related to environmental protection, including solar panels. This issue is extremely important from the point of view of economic, environmental, and corporate social responsibility.

German Airport Performance 2 Abstract The airport industry in Europe has undergone a lot of changes in the last decades due to commercialization, privatization, regulatory changes and the effects of liberalized aviation markets. The nature and scope of airport competition has gained interest. In this paper we analyze a key aspect of competition. Have there been significant market entries and exits in the airport industry in Europe? How do entries and exits in the airport industry compare to those in other competitive industries in particular to the downstream airline industry? After a review of the literature on entry and exits in other industries, we analyze entry and exit in the European airport sector from 1995 to 2005.
