Airports Environmental Management: Results from the Evaluation of European Airports Environmental Plans

Although airports contribute to region’s economic development, they have a negative impact on the environment and on the communities around them. Environmental impacts such as noise, air and water pollution, and natural resources consumption are some of the implications resulting from the operation of airports that have the ability to constrain airports further development. In addition, increas...

Dynamic Ground-Holding Policies for a Network of Airports

The yearly congestion costs in the US airline industry are estimated to be of the order of $2 billion. In [6] we have introduced and studied generic integer programming models for the static multi-airport ground holding problem (GHP), the problem of assigning optimal ground holding delays in a general network of airports, so that the total (ground plus airborne) delay cost of all flights is min...

Evaluation of strategies for reducing taxi-out emissions at airports

Aircraft taxiing on the surface contribute significantly to the fuel burn and emissions at airports. This paper is aimed at estimating the baseline fuel burn and emissions from taxi-out processes at airports, evaluating the potential benefits of strategies proposed to reduce them, and assessing the critical implementation barriers that need to be overcome prior to the adoption of these approach...

Airports and Railways: Facility Location Meets Network Design

We introduce a new framework of Airport and Railway Problems, which combines capacitated facility location with network design. In this framework we are given a graph with weights on the vertices and on the edges, together with a parameter k. The vertices of the graph represent cities, and weights denote respectively the costs of opening airports in the cities and building railways that connect...
