Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject Business economics - Supply, Production, Logistics, grade: 1,3, University of Applied Sciences Wildau, course: Aviation Management Master, language: English, abstract: The air transport industry is despite all challenges a continuously growing sector. The World Bank publishes registered airlines departures every year: In 2012 3.3 times more planes departed than in 1975 and still 1.4 times more than in the year 2000. It is out of question that this rapid increase of aircraft movements of today more than 30 million per year had and will have effects on the surrounding areas of airports. ICAO even predicts the number to rise up to 50 million by the year 2030 with many new airport facilities needed. In Germany the "Frankfurt Startbahn West 18" construction in the 1980's was one of the most negative experiences with two shot protesters.This tragic event but also the ongoing protests around the world show the need of improving airport expansion strategies and interaction with the society. This paper will therefore illustrate the positive and negative impacts of airport operations on the society. Further, using the example of Frankfurt Airport and its pro and contra initiatives, the social responsibility of an airport will be described and possible solutions and opportunities to reduce conflicts will be brought up. Thereby sustainability of airports includes fields like economic profitability, operational safety, environmental responses to air operation impacts and the regional society.Social responsibility can be defined as "the obligation of an organization's management towards the welfare and interests of the society in which it operates."
Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,0, University of Applied Sciences Wildau (Institute of Technology), language: English, abstract: The air transport industry is despite all challenges a continuously growing sector. The World Bank publishes registered airlines departures every year: In 2012 3.3 times more planes departed than in 1975 and still 1.4 times more than in the year 2000. It is out of question that this rapid increase of aircraft movements of today more than 30 million per year (table 1) had and will have effects on the surrounding areas of airports. ICAO even predicts the number to rise up to 50 million by the year 2030 with many new airport facilities needed. In Germany the "Frankfurt Startbahn West 18" construction in the 1980's was one of the most negative experiences with protests against airport extensions. Up to 120,000 people were demonstrating for more than 10 years. Two police men were shot and seven injured on one demonstration in 1987 after the runway was already operating for three years. This tragic event but also the ongoing protests around the world show the need of improving airport expansion strategies and interaction with the society. This paper will therefore illustrate the positive and negative impacts of airport operations on the society. Further, using the example of Frankfurt Airport, the social responsibility of an airport will be described and possible solutions and opportunities to reduce conflicts will be brought up. Thereby sustainability of airports includes fields like economic profitability, operational safety, environmental responses to air operation impacts and the regional society. Social responsibility can be defined as "the obligation of an organization's management towards the welfare and interests of the society in which it operates."

Balancing the capacity enhancing needs of the national airspace system with the need to protect the environment can be challenging. The FAA estimates that the annual number of passengers travelling by air in the United States will grow from 750 million in 2012 to over 1 billion by 2023. It also forecasts a corresponding 20 percent increase in the number of flights, which could add to existing flight delays and air traffic congestion. Even while the aviation system has grown and continues to grow, airports have sought to limit the environmental impacts generated by their construction and operations - such as noise, water, air, and waste pollution - in part, to meet applicable legal requirements. However, airports' environmental impacts have been a source of friction with neighbouring communities. This book addresses the actions that airports have taken to reduce the environmental impacts of airport operations and development; and the strategies they can adopt to mitigate delays in implementing capital projects and operational changes.
Explores judicial decisions related to challenges to airport expansion and development. The report examines the basis, defense strategies, and outcomes of cases, as well as the results of a survey of airports regarding litigation strategies.
Lists airport technical and research reports sponsored by the Federal Aviation Administration in a subject arrangement.
