“…ICAO performs standard measurements in measuring fuel consumption and related emissions in engine certification. The thrust levels and the duration of each phase by ICAO in the LTO cycle for the measurement of fuel consumption and pollutant emissions are given in Table 2 (Atasoy et al , 2021; Gürçam et al , 2021).…”

“…In the study, two airports were compared in terms of air quality according to aircraft traffic load and location. Atasoy et al (2021) calculated the CO 2 , CO, HC and NO x emissions caused by aircraft during the LTO cycle at the International Hasan Polatkan Airport. In the study, each pollutant emission value depending on fuel consumption is given on a monthly basis.…”

“…Aircraft exhaust emissions are caused by fossil fuels burned in the propulsion system. These emissions due to aircraft operations are basically carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur oxides (SO x ), nitrogen oxides (NO x ), hydrocarbons (HCs), water vapor (H 2 O) and other gases (Xu et al , 2020b: Atasoy et al , 2021). Airports are often built far from the city center due to the noise and pollutant emissions during the LTO cycle of aircraft.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to calculate the fuel consumption and emissions of carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxide (NOx) and hydrocarbons (HC) in the taxi-out period of aircraft at the International Diyarbakir Airport in 2018 and 2019. Design/methodology/approach Calculations were performed by determining the engine operating times in the taxi-out period with the flight data obtained from the airport authority. In the analyses, aircraft series and aircraft engine types were determined, and the Engine Exhaust Emission Databank of the International Civil Aviation Authority (ICAO) were used for the calculation. Findings Total fuel consumption in the taxi-out period in 2018 and 2019 was calculated as 525.64 and 463.69 tons, respectively. In 2018, HC, CO and NOx emissions caused by fuel consumption were found to be 1,109, 10,668 and 2,339 kg, respectively. In 2019, the total HC, CO and NOx emissions released to the atmosphere during the taxi-out phase are 966, 9,391 and 2,126 kg, respectively. B737 Series aircraft have the largest share in total fuel consumption and pollutant emissions. Practical implications This study explains the importance of determining fuel consumption and pollutant emissions by considering engine operating times in the taxi-out period. The study provides aviation authorities with scientific methods to follow in calculating fuel consumption and emissions from aircraft operations. Originality/value The originality of this study is the calculation of fuel consumption and pollutant emissions by determining real-time engine running times in the taxi-out period. In addition, calculations were made with real engine operating times determined in the taxi-out period using real flight data.

“…Akdeniz also applied the standard ICAO method to estimate the engine exhaust emissions of the aircraft at the LTO stage at the airports (Akdeniz, 2021). The ICAO method was also used at Tbilisi International Airport in Georgia (Tokuslu, 2020), Hasan Polatkan Airport (Atasoy et al, 2021), and Chinese airports (Zhou et al, 2019a(Zhou et al, , 2019b. However, these methods are more suitable for accounting for aircraft emissions during the LTO stage and cannot be combined with CO 2 calculations.…”

“…With the development of the aviation industry, access to safe and comfortable transportation became easier. Air transport also plays an important role in economic development (Sun et al , 2021a; Atasoy et al , 2021). The increase in aviation activities means more investment, but this growth also causes environmental problems.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to determine and compare the total and per passenger HC, CO, NOx and CO2 emissions from aircraft landing and takeoff (LTO) cycle before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, it is aimed to determine the global warming potential (GWP), environmental impacts (EIs) and enviroeconomic cost (eco-cost) of these emissions in total and per passenger. Design/methodology/approach Analyses were carried out with the help of the International Civil Aviation Organization’s Engine Emission Databank, using real flight data recorded by the airport authority. Findings During the COVID-19 pandemic, total pollutant emissions (HC, CO, NOx and CO2) decreased between 23.7% and 30.8% compared with the pre-pandemic period. In addition, per passenger pollutant emissions increased during the pandemic. Compared with the pre-pandemic period, GWP, EI and eco-cost values decreased by 24.1%, 23.89% and 23.93%, respectively, in the pandemic. However, the per passenger GWP, EI and eco-cost values increased by about 10% compared with the pre-pandemic period. Practical implications This study reveals the effects of COVID-19 in terms of EIs and environmental costs caused by aircraft in the LTO cycle. Originality/value The originality of this study is to calculate the pollutant emissions caused by aircraft in the LTO cycle with real flight data and to reveal the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The novelty of this study is the determination and comparison of total and per passenger pollutant emissions, GWP, EI and eco-cost before and during the pandemic.
