  • Asian Breeze (27)
    Asian Breeze (27) （亜細亜の風） Happy Spring to you 3 April, 2013 Dear Coordinators and Facilitators in the Asia/Pacific region. Long waited Spring has finally come to Tokyo. Sakura (Cherry) trees which are the symbol of Spring were in full bloom on 24 March (Sunday) in Tokyo. Full bloom in Tokyo was ten days earlier than usual because of global warming?? April is the beginning of everything like school, business and the government in Japan. Entrance ceremony of elementary school, junior high school, high school, universities and colleges will be conducted in April. So will be the entrance ceremony of companies and governments. Sakura trees goes well with those entrance ceremonies as if they are celebrating the new start of schools, companies and governments. As a new start of fiscal year of 2013, I received a wonderful contribution from Mr. Wolfgang Gallistl, Managing Director of Scheduling Coordination Austria (SCA) featuring his organization and the airports they deal with. I hope you will find it interesting and informative. Schedule Coordination Austria (SCA) Schedule Coordination Austria (SCA) was founded in December 2002 as a private limited company according to the Austrian Company Law with the aim to coordinate and facilitate the schedules of commercial airlines, operating scheduled and charter flights to and from airports in Austria. SCA started operation in February 2003 after moving into the new office premises at Vienna Airport and setting up the IT environment based on a specific software application for coordination of airline schedules. In February 2003 SCA was nominated by the Austrian Federal Minister for Transport, Innovation and Technology (Decree 131/2003 of 11th February 2003) as schedule coordinator for all Austrian Airports, based on the 1 Regulation 95/93 of the European Union.

  • Final Conference Last Mile
    FINAL CONFERENCE LAST MILE 1 APRIL 2020, LANDHAUS 1, INNSBRUCK The INTERREG EUROPE project „LAST MILE“, under the leadership of the Austrian Environment Agency, aims at finding innovative, flexible solutions for sustainable regional mobility systems. The project wants to guarantee that visitors can travel the ‘last mile’ of their travel chain in a sustainable manner and residents can enjoy alternatives to the individual car use for their daily trips as well. The project focuses on the accessibility of transportation on the last link of the travel from origin to destination (so called "last mile"). LAST MILE has aimed, among others, at emphasising how a sound institutional framework can facilitate the implementation of demand-oriented transport solutions (public, sharing, pooling). The project uses lessons learnt to further encourage regional stakeholders to try new approaches that have been successful in other regions in Europe when they develop regional action plans or revise existing policy instruments. Through the final conference, the project consortium wants to share a synthesis of results: requirements for a more supporting framework and regional projects realized under already improved framework conditions with joint efforts of our partners and their stakeholders. Notable tourism and transport experts will explore the results from the scientific and technical viewpoint. Our ambition is furthermore to offer a platform for all stakeholders interested in the topic, to connect with stakeholders from other regions and to exchange their

  • AIRCLIP – Airports and Climate Preservation, 45 Th ISOCARP Congress 2009
    Schrenk/Farkas/Eizinger, AIRCLIP – Airports and Climate Preservation, 45 th ISOCARP congress 2009 AIRCLIP – Airports and Climate Preservation 1 AIRPORTS, AIRPORT REGIONS AND ENVIRONMENT 1.1 Airports, the aviation industry and the environment Recent developments in civil aviation can be attributed to an increasingly globalized society in which mobility over long distances becomes more and more important – and more and more common as well. Paradoxically, the improvement of information and communication technology infrastructure (ICT) does not appear to lessen air travel, but actually to foster it as the global reach of companies is extended and information about recreational (touristic) opportunities abroad become more easily accessible via the internet. Because globalization and the concomitant increase in air travel has been accompanied by rising energy consumption and emissions, environmental protection and efforts to prevent climate change have become the modern scientific challenge of our times. To date, research into eco- friendly measures for the air transport industry have focused primarily on developing technical improvements for aircraft. Although aircraft contribute a large share of emissions, groundside operations and infrastructure also produce a significant amount of pollution. Moreover, the emissions associated with such operations continue to grow as airports evolve into city-like hubs of economic activities – airport cities. In addition to carbon emissions (CO 2), other major environmental concerns at most airports include noise, local air quality, ground and surface water and soil quality, recycling and sustainability as well as habitat and wildlife management (Airport Council International [ACI]. Airports-Actions on Climate Change . [2008]). Because of the growing importance of landside operations and the evolution of airport cities, environmental and climate protection measures and technologies at airports should focus on airside as well as landside activities.
