  • Regional Airports' Environmental
    Regional Airports REGIONAL AIRPORTS’ ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT: KEY MESSAGES FROM THE EVALUATION OF TEN EUROPEAN AIRPORTS D.J. DIMITRIOU & A.J. VOSKAKI Department of Aerospace Science, School of Engineering, Cranfi eld University, UK. ABSTRACT In a modern society, connectivity is the basis for economic competitiveness, social reform, regional development and cultural exchange. City airports serving mature markets have already expanded to meet existing and future demand and the challenge for the airport industry is now focused on the development of the secondary and regional airports to accommodate further air transport demand. Consequently, regional airports attract the interest of investors by providing new business opportunities. Although airports bring signifi cant benefi ts to local and national economy, their contribution to environment disturbance in local and global scale is sig- nifi cant. As a result of the growing environmental sensitivity, airport environmental management is a crucial element of the aviation industry development. This is for reasons related to the control of community and non- governmental organisations (NGOs) complaints on one hand, and to meet the regional and national targets set by the civil aviation and local authorities on the other hand. Especially for regional airports, the need to identify the environmental issues is essential, because their business development is directly linked to disturbance in the environment and to the local/national communities’ level of tolerance. Although environmental management process is crucial to regional airport development, there is little research related to measuring the effi ciency and the performance of their environmental management systems. Nevertheless, not many regional airports, espe- cially those serving fewer than 5 million passengers, annually, have set specifi c targets for their environmental performance.
