Comments on Discussion Papers are welcome. Mujica Mota, Boosten and Zuniga – Time to Sweat the Assests? Abstract Air traffic numbers have been steadily increasing and are projected to so in the future. Most traffic growth pertains to a small fraction of the total available airport capacity worldwide; particularly the main airport hubs present these trends. As a consequence, they are becoming increasingly congested, which results in the increase of delays and reduction of reliability. For these reasons it is important to look for ways in which the existing assets can take up more traffic. These solutions should go beyond long-term considerations to build more infrastructures. In the current paper we discuss of different ways of increasing capacity. First we define capacity and then we discuss techniques for identifying bottlenecks and room for improvement. We exemplify them by providing two examples of airports in different continents, Schiphol Airport and Mexico City Airport.

  • The Use of Aviation Biofuels As an Airport Environmental Sustainability Measure: the Case of Oslo Gardermoen Airport Glenn Baxter1*, Panarat Srisaeng1, Graham Wild2
    Czech Technical University in Prague Magazine of Aviation Development Faculty of Transportation Sciences 8(1):6-17, 2020, ISSN: 1805-7578 Department of Air Transport DOI: 10.14311/MAD.2020.01.01 The Use of Aviation Biofuels as an Airport Environmental Sustainability Measure: The Case of Oslo Gardermoen Airport Glenn Baxter1*, Panarat Srisaeng1, Graham Wild2 1School of Tourism and Hospitality Management, Suan Dusit University, Hua Hin Prachaup Khiri Khan, Thailand 2School of Engineering, RMIT University, Box 2476, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia 3000 *Corresponding author: School of Tourism and Hospitality Management, Suan Dusit University, Hua Hin Prachaup Khiri Khan, Thailand. Email g [email protected] Abstract In recent times, there has been a growing trend by airports and airlines to use aviation biofuel as an environment sustainability measure. Using an instrumental qualitative case study research design, this paper examines the evolution of sustainable aviation fuels at Oslo Airport Gardermoen. Oslo Airport Gardermoen was the first airport in the world to offer the first airport in the world to offer aviation biofuels to all airlines in 2016. The qualitative data were examined by document analysis. The study found that the use of sustainable aviation biofuels has delivered tangible environmental benefits to Oslo Gardermoen Airport. The usage of aviation biofuels has enabled the airport, and the airlines using sustainable aviation biofuels, to reduce their greenhouse gases by 10-15%. Also, as part of Norway’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the Norwegian Government have mandated that the aviation fuel industry must mix 0.5% advanced biofuel into jet fuel from 2020 onwards.
