Why Airport Regions Conference?
� Aviation is a global industry
� that generates local and regional economic growth
� brings Europe together and connectsEurope regions to the world
Why Airport Regions Conference?
� Aviation is a global industry
� with local and regional impact
� depending on local infrastructure and public investments
� with severe local environmentalimpact
Airport regions play a key rolein European development
� Airport regions are the engines for economic growth and global competetiveness.
� Airport regions are focal points for bringing Europe together.
The ARC MissionBy working in partnership:
� Enhance the role of regional and local governments as active partners in the development of European Transport Policies
� Undertake common initiatives for the exchange of information and best practice among its members
� Co-operate at European/International level to pursue common interests
Key issues� Noise
� Noise mitigation� Legislative aspects
� Airport Mediation� Competence Centre
� Economic growth� Opens skies� Tourism � Labour market and
education
� Climate change� Surface access� Intermodality
� Quality of Life� Integrated airport and
local/regional planning� Air Traffic Management
impact� Investments and
compensation� Land use planning
� What are the common key elements for improved quality of life in European airport regions and a level playing field?
� How are the key elements related to national and regional governance structures?
� What steps can be taken to meet demand for additional capacity and at the same time improve living conditions?
QLAIR objective
Create competitive airport regions in which economic development and
the improvement of quality of life are equally balanced
short term projects -2008/2009
� Improved information and communication
� Inclusion of ground noise in airport nuisance reduction policies
� Innovative approaches to compensation schemes
� Impact of Air Traffic Management on spatial planning
Information and communication� Collect experiences of ARC regions and other
relevant airport regions on (web based) information to citizens
� Assess strengths and weaknesses of policies and systems
� Provide best practices regarding policies
� Discuss framework for policy position
Information – airport operations
� Availability (of data/information)� Accessibility (how and where to find information)� Basic information� (Pre-)notification of airport operation:
� Current runway use� Flight paths� Real time flight data (noise tracking)
� Noise measurement data� Complaints
Results� Airport websites available
� Not user friendly access to aircraft noise information
� Variety in information provided in different regions
� Objectivity of data questioned� Various information/sources with unclear status
� Communication operations ( handling complaints)� Mixed results (from successful to unclear to ineffective)
� Communication airport expansion� Mostly informal, difficult to formalise
Ground noise
� Ground noise is a relatively new and growing area of concern around major hubs and growing airports
� The challenge� Finding solutions for a phenomena not included in noise
policies
� Noise reduction schemes and noise models mainly focus on ‘general’ noise
Definition of the problem
� Ground noise problem increases with � flight intensity (3 flights/hr is different from 30)
� hugh aircrafts entering the market
� Wind, weather conditions
� GN relates to housing development/ runway use/ runway expansion
� Current noise contours inadequate in representing
� the GN problem
Ground noise - results� First report made to identify the issue in
Europe
� Brought to the attention of the EU and the Industry
� Second report in 2011 with global perspective
� Conference in Frankfurt 2011 to recognise ground noise at a high level.
Mitigation and compensation� Mitigation:
� Reduction or elimination of noise annoyance� Sound insulation schemes
� Demolition and buy-out schemes
� Compensation:� Payments for disproportionate effects
� Damage caused by spatial planning
� Other compensation schemes
findings� Mitigation (insulation) present in most regions
� Efficiency? Scope?� Mix of voluntary and legal agreements
� Compensation� Depending on noise zones – planning issue� Mutual agreement provides satisfactory results� One sided (airport) programs has limited effects
� Other financial compensation schemes� Scientific basis inconclusive� Damage needs to be proven� Large potential for regions
� Very few innovative approaches
Air traffic management
� Structure� How are ATM and spatial planning linked today?� What ATM concepts and technologies are foreseen and what are
their effects?� Does new technologies of tomorrow impact on spatial planning
today and vice versus?
� •Documentation� Booklet: “ATM and spatial planning in Airport Regions”
� Workshop with Eurocontrol and ATM and political rep/planners� Confirms that regions should be involved
Projects 2010-� INTEREG Capitalisation project – implement
QLAIR policies in action plans� Barcelona LP + 8 ARC members
� Optimal land use strategies –� Dublin Region LP
� Investments in noise restricted areas-� Amsterdam Region LP
Projects 2010-� Communication policies with citizens-
� Amsterdam LP
� Ground Noise continued� Frankfurt LP
� ARC policy statements
The time perspective
� What can be achieved in:� Short term 1 to 5 years.
� Financial incentives, administrative, regulations etc.� Administrative improvements, financial incentives for traveller to
reduce carbon footprint, on line national travel planners, better regional travel experiences.
� Medium Term 5 to 10 years.� Technological developments, implementation of new techniques.
� Integrated ticketing using new or adapted technologies, on lineinternational travel planners using new or adapted technologies.
� Long term 10 to 20 years.� Infrastructure projects;
� new/enhanced rail access to airport, airports as intermodalinterchanges, high speed train/air substitution over short hauljourneys.
The geographical perspective
� Start at the centre, the airports;� Airport catchment area accessibility
� Intermodality at the airport -> administrative routines -> ticketing in the metropolitan area ->Seamless door to door journey -> Integrated ticketing -> Air/Rail substitution.
� Analysis of traveller behaviour� different customer needs are dominant in
different airports – find “tailor made solutions”
