Expected Directions of Developments Aimed at Reducing the Environmental Impact of Airport Processes

Abstract

The environmental development of air transport and the reduction of atmospheric and noise pollution have also had a significant impact on airports in recent decades. In connection with this, Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA) was created, the only institutionally supported, global carbon dioxide management certification program that provides airports with certified compliance and certification to prove their environmentally friendly operation. In addition, it makes visible the possibilities and ways forward that can ensure the realization of the long-term goal of “zero emissions”. An important task is the examination of a European overview, which for the time being must be based on the analysis and processing of available source works. Finding the best practices and examining their applicability to domestic – both commercial and military – airports will be the result of further research.
