What is true at the national level is also true at the more local scale of the areas surrounding an international airport, and whose own urban, demographic, social, economic and environmental development is closely linked to the presence of such major equipment. They even often become full-fledged economic and urban hubs within their metropolitan area. These territories, whose contours, perimeters and profiles can be very different from one geographical context to another, but which have in common that their destiny

    Airport Research and Innovation Facility Hamburg (ARIF) Airport Research and Innovation Facility Hamburg (ARIF) Parallel to the installation of an operational A-SMGCS (Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control System) at Hamburg Airport, three partners agreed on the cooperation in installing and operating a unique field test platform for research and development in the field of air traffic manage- ment and airport operation. Trials to identify and evaluate improved ground processes The cooperation of DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung GmbH, Ham- burg Airport and the German Aerospace Center (DLR) enables a large variety of opportunities for both operational stakehold- ers and research/development. In 2006, the partners set up the Airport Research and Innovation Facility Hamburg (ARIF) as an operational environment. Thus, existing research infrastruc- tures such as apron, tower or airport control centre simulators could be extended with important operational input. The ARIF is a unique platform for the development, testing, evaluation and validation of future support systems in an operational en- vironment, aiming at midsize airports. Thus, ARIF provides essential advantages, such as: - Use of real-time data during development phases - Short cycles between implementation of innovative ideas and operators’ feedback - Direct evaluation of existing system components - (Pre-) testing of new concepts and future technology without operational limitations - Optimal infrastructure for shadow mode trials Research Areas Besides focusing on higher levels of A-SMGCS (e.g. planning and guidance), the ARIF at Hamburg Airport is also designed to allow research in the context of Total Airport Management (TAM) and Performance Based Airport Management (PBAM). All partners have identified the need for the development and implementation of an integrated airport management with a common set of operational data.

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: 2017 ANNUAL MEETING IN SWEDEN When is the meeting registration deadline? January 9, 2017 What is the easiest way to register and pay? Go to the tour operator’s secure website http://www.askmrnilsson.se/magnolia-society/ and pay with a VISA or MasterCard. With so many registration choices, how do I pick just one? It’s not as complicated as it seems. You only need to make 3 decisions. 1) Which locations do you want to visit? 2) Do you want the tour operator to book your travel or make your own transportation plans within the timeframe of the annual meeting? 3) Do you want to share a hotel room with someone or stay in a room by yourself? Which airport should I use? CPH, Copenhagen Airport in Denmark, is the main international airport serving southern Sweden. You should book round trip from your departure destination to/from CPH.

  • 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.
