Creating the airport effect?

Global institutes are expecting a very large passenger growth for both airports and airlines, and many believe the volume will double over the next fifteen years. This growth is a challenge, especially in Europe, where many airports have already reached or stressed their capacity constraints.

Technical progress has been rapid in recent years. Airports today have great opportunities to increase their earnings through increased efficiency, such as by increasing the number of start- and landings within the existing infrastructure and thus also offering airlines better service. For an airline it is a dream to be offered more attractive start and landing times at an airport that is part of its network. Increased efficiency, for example, means shorter taxi times for the aircraft on the ground which also reduce fuel consumption. In order to create and realize the airport effect, airports, airlines and ANSP´s, together with advanced technology provider, must work together towards common goals.
