Multicriteria Decision Aiding for Planning Renewable Power Production at Moroccan Airports

2022

This study is about multicriteria decision aiding (MCDA) for the green airports program of the Moroccan Airport Authority ONDA. The goal of the program is to develop significant amounts of renewable power at airports. In particular, ONDA wants to select airports at which large solar and wind power parks should be built. Multiple criteria, including economy, technical feasibility, and environmental concerns, must be considered simultaneously. In this study, we apply Stochastic Multicriteria Acceptability Analysis (SMAA) for ranking the candidates to be developed into green airports. The analysis is conducted in phases with different sets of criteria. This study is the first application of MC…

Forecasting Passenger Traffic for a Regional Airport

2019

Abstract The purpose of the present research is estimating the potential traffic for SIA (Sibiu International Airport, SBZ) for the year 2017. Predicting as accurate as possible the passenger traffic for a certain airport is an aspect of major importance for both the airport management and the airline companies. The theoretical quality of the forecasting models for air traffic of passengers is fundamental for obtaining the most accurate predictions. In this regard, a two-step process was used in developing the traffic forecasting model: (1) Identifying the proper regression model for traffic estimation based on the number of aircraft departures, and (2) Forecasting the number of aircraft de…

Managing Greenhouse Gas Emissions for Airport Inventories: An Overview

2011

For some years now, problems relating to gas emissions that affect climate and result from human activities have assumed a global dimension of large importance. The climate is, indeed, influenced by the concentrations of some pollutants in the atmosphere; these pollutants trap the long wave radiation emitted by the Earth and alter the energy balance, causing an accentuation of the natural greenhouse effect. In this view an inventory of greenhouse gases can become the benchmark against which to measure the achievement of quantitative targets set at the political level in the fight against climate change. Contrary to a general inventory of emissions related with air quality objectives and loc…

Factor Analysis of Passengers’ Satisfaction at “RIGA International Airport”

2015

Abstract The aim of the paper is to determine complex factors influencing passengers’ satisfaction at RIGA International Airport (Latvia). Theoretical evidence was examined and factor analysis was carried out to identify the main groups of factors affecting passengers’ satisfaction at the Airport. The findings of the study show that the most important five factors affecting it are: (1) availability of telecommunications, (2) effective way finding signs, (3) cleanliness of restrooms, (4) courtesy of staff and (5) availability of staff. The results based on this study will help airport managers in the Baltic Sea region to better serve their passengers through introduction of modern technologi…

2014

Lʼarea a sud-est dellʼaeroporto di Palermo è in rapida trasformazione: le espansioni edilizie di Cinisi e Villagrazia di Carini si sono saldate in una “campagna urbanizzata” continua, nel 2001 è stato inaugurato il tratto di metropolitana di Palermo che da Piraineto giunge a Punta Raisi con fermata intermedia “Tonnara Orsa”, la Società di gestione dellʼaeroporto Falcone-Borsellino (Gesap) ha previsto la realizzazione di un nuovo ingresso a sud dellʼaeroporto in corrispondenza del fuso racchiuso fra lʼautostrada A29 e la linea ferroviaria, a sud-ovest dello svincolo autostradale di Villagrazia di Carini, in località Bosco Tagliato, sorgerà un centro commerciale. I cambiamenti in atto e le ce…

Asphalt mixtures improved with plastic additives: mix design and case study in an airport

La crescente domanda di prestazioni e le esigenze di salvaguardia dell’ecosistema spingono a sviluppare nuove tecnologie di lavorazione, a sperimentare l’impiego di nuovi materiali, a migliorare i metodi di progetto delle miscele. Il criterio seguito è quello di un impiego più razionale delle risorse e dell’utilizzo di tecniche a basso impatto ambientale. Per ragioni tecniche ed economiche stiamo assistendo al fenomeno di espansione nel mercato degli additivi, impiegati nella produzione di miscele bituminose per migliorarne le prestazioni e ridurre i costi. In generale, però riuscire a soddisfare tutti gli obiettivi con un unico prodotto è difficile, perché l’alta qualità richiede costi più…

The Importance of Air Connectivity and the Impact on Romanian Airports

2019

In a world where passenger air travel is set to keep a positive growth rate over the years, airports all over the world are striving to increase their connectivity rate by attracting different airline companies, either for point to point connections or hub connectivity to wider the number of destinations reached from the airport to all over the world via a hub. From an airport perspective, creating a strategy to increase the connectivity performance index requires a lot of market analysis, following latest developments of hub connections from all over Europe, as hub connectivity tends to change on a yearly basis. Airport connectivity performance is directly linked to growth, studies (ACI Eu…

REGIONAL AIRPORT: STUDY ON ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL PROFITABILITY

2010

Using Geomatics and GIS technologies, the aim of this study is the recovery of a regional economy focused on the areas that are marginalized and depressed, or with an emerging tourist industry, to reach explanatory variables of the airport impact on the regional economy. This analysis is conducted on the basis of geographical data and socio-economic features that characterized the area taken into account. Next to the main activities relating to international air traffic, which absorb large flows of traffic and offer primary and supplementary services, today airport is identified by their irreplaceable role in modern economic life, especially in the connections between places that, for geogr…

Airport Charges Policy as a Tool for Achieving Competitive Advantage in the Aviation Market

2020

Air transportation plays an important socio-economic role, and an airport, as part of the transportation system, is a significant component of the national infrastructure. The airport is not just a provider of aviation services, whose activities are regulated by the state, but is a self-sustainable commercial complex with its own business goals and development strategy aimed at the growth and economic efficiency of operations. Strengthening its position in the Nordic region is the strategic goal of Riga International Airport. Competitive advantage in airport charges policy should contribute to the accomplishment of this strategic goal - Riga Airport should be the first choice for airport tr…
