As a result, we have been able to lower CO2 emissions per passenger by 46 percent since 2005. We have implemented several programs for optimizing our CO2 footprint in close collaboration with our business partners. Our commitment to becoming carbon neutral by 2030 stands firmer than ever and we strongly believe that the industry will not only evolve better but also greener when global air traffic rebounds. With anti COVID-19 measures in place and the airport operations recovering in a safe manner it is now time to focus our attention and combined efforts to economic and ecological sustainability measures, such as: • Introduction of smart and innovative lighting technologies across our campus • Usage of solar electricity and cooling with intelligent photovoltaic systems • Utilization of alternative fuels from renewable energy sources • Recycling of the active glycol component in the de-icing fluid • Efficient cogeneration of heat and power with our own CHP plant If you are interested in learning more about how you can reduce airport CO2 emissions and how you can introduce sustainable solutions in all fields of airport business, please contact us at [email protected]. Our sustain- ability experts are looking forward to working with you towards a greener future of aviation. Inserat_grün1.indd 1 11.09.20 16:50 Returning to the skies with confidence As airlines and airports resume operations in a post COVID-19 world, new health and safety requirements are transforming the passenger experience. SITA has the solutions today to accommodate these new demands. This starts with a low-touch passenger journey where mobility and biometrics automate the travel process, limiting the need to touch equipment in the airport. We help airports and airlines manage the flow of passengers and provide dynamic safety information along the journey. SITA also helps governments by identifying high-risk passengers while managing fast changing borders. Together these solutions help drive compliance for the industry and increase confidence for passengers. sita.aero EDITORIAL he COVID-19 crisis has turned our lives upside down, with aviation and travel being by far the most T impacted. Apart from passenger volumes going back where they stood some 50 years ago, the ranking of airports is just another stark illustration of the fact that that we continue to live in a paral- lel world. Last September, Antalya was the busiest airport in Europe with just 2.25 million passengers, followed by Moscow-Sheremetyevo and Moscow- Domodedovo. St Petersburg welcomed more passengers than Paris-CDG, and Athens more than Munich.

  • Methodology EN – Dataset – MCA – Omio
    Methodology Stress-free Travel: The Most Convenient European Capital Airports The ranking of airports in Europe that offer a stress-free and convenient travel experience was determined by examining all European capital cities. If a capital city had more than one airport, the main international airport, defined as the one with the largest number of international flights, was selected. To create the ranking of the most convenient airports in Europe, all airports were analysed according to 17 factors that were grouped into four data-clusters: connectivity​, f​ acilities​, e​ ntertainment ​and s​ tress​. These were then weighted according to the level of influence airport operators can exert on each data cluster. Since “facilities” and “entertainment” can be determined by airport operators, they were deemed important data clusters when determining the level of convenience, weighing 40 percent each of the final score. However, airport operators have less influence on “stress” and “connectivity,” so both data clusters contribute to only 10 percent of the final score, since the punctuality of airlines, the geographical location and the availability of public transit options to reach the airport, for instance, cannot be controlled by the managing body of the airport. Research factors and sources Data cluster one: Connectivity (10%) ● Distance: ​The linear distance in kilometres between the capital’s main train ​ station and the airport was determined using G​ oogle Maps​. ● Public transport: ​The number of public transit options connecting the main ​ airport to the city centre was sourced from the official information provided by airport operators. Shuttle services were not included unless there were no other public transit options available.

  • Travel Information for Portugal
    A. Transportation Information B. Language Tips C. How to Dial Telephone Numbers D. Hotel Recommendations E. Reading and Movie List Travel Information for Portugal A. Transportation Information International airports are located in Lisbon, Porto, and Faro. Both Lisbon and Porto are interesting cities to spend time in before or after your tour, as is Faro although it is smaller in size. For price and logistical convenience, we recommend flying into Lisbon, or if you are interested in visiting northern Portugal, flying into Porto and then making your way south to the tour is an option. If you are interested in spending time on the south coast after the tour ends, leaving from Faro is an option. The general airport website www.ana.pt/en-US has a section detailing how to access any Portugal airport by taxi, train or metro. To view an English version of the website, click on the English icon or label on the homepage. Air Travel within Europe and Portugal European carriers such as Alitalia, British Airways, Sabena, TAP and Lufthansa service some cities in Portugal. It is also possible to fly into small airports from other European cities as well as a domestic flight from Lisbon, Porto and Faro. Try the following national airlines: • TAP Portugal: http://www.flytap.com • Portugalia Airlines: http://www.portugalia-airlines.pt There are also many low cost airlines that fly in and out of Portugal, see the list below. Remember these airlines have restrictions on luggage and may also have other “quirky” policies, but are at times great options for one way flights to and from smaller cities in Portugal.

  • Milan Linate (LIN) J Ownership and Organisational Structure the Airport
    Competition between Airports and the Application of Sfare Aid Rules Volume H ~ Country Reports Italy Milan Linate (LIN) J Ownership and organisational structure The airport is part of Gruppo SEA (Milan Airports). Ownership is 14.6% local government and 84.6% City of Milan. Other shareholders hold the remaining 0.8%. Privatisation (partial) was scheduled for the end of 2001 but was stopped after the events of 11th September. Now the proposed date is October 2002 but this has still to be finalised. Only 30% of the shareholding will be moved into the private sector with no shareholder having more than 5%. There are no legislative changes required. The provision of airport services is shared between ENAV (ATC), Italian police (police), SEA (security), ATA and SEA Handling (passenger and ramp handling), Dufntal (duty-free) and SEA Parking (car parking). There are no current environmental issues but, in the future, there is a possible night ban and charges imposed according to aircraft noise. 2 Type ofairpo Milan Linate is a city-centre (almost) airport that serves mainly the scheduled domestic and international market with a growing low-cost airline presence (Buzz, Go). There is very little charter and cargo traffic but some General Aviation. The airport is subject to traffic distribution rules imposed by the Italian government with the aim of 'encouraging' airlines to move to Malpensa.
