“…For example, Graham and Guyer (1999), referring to projected growth of air transport within the European Union, suggested that planners must consider environmental capacity, which comprises infrastructure, sources of pollution, and visual amenity. Similarly, Abeyratne (2000) argued that effective expansion and management of airport capacity includes environmentally sustainable development (as outlined in the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, United Nations Conference on Environment and Development).…”

a b s t r a c tProjecting risks posed to aviation safety by wildlife populations is often overlooked in airport land-use planning. However, the growing dependency on civil aviation for global commerce can require increases in capacity at airports which affect land use, wildlife populations, and perspectives on aviation safety. Our objectives were to (1) review legislation that affects airports and surrounding communities relative to managing and reducing wildlife hazards to aviation; (2) identify information gaps and future research needs relative to regulated land uses on and near airports, and the effects on wildlife populations; and (3) demonstrate how information regarding wildlife responses to land-use practices can be incorporated into wildlife-strike risk assessments. We show that guidelines for land-use practices on and near airports with regard to wildlife hazards to aviation can be vague, conflicting, and scientifically ill-supported. We discuss research needs with regard to management of stormwater runoff; wildlife use of agricultural crops and tillage regimens relative to revenue and safety; the role of an airport in the landscape matrix with regard to its effects on wildlife species richness and abundance; and spatial and temporal requirements of wildlife species that use airports, relative to implementing current and novel management techniques. We also encourage the development and maintenance of datasets that will allow realistic assessment of wildlife-strike risk relative to current airport conditions and anticipated changes to capacity. Land uses at airports influence wildlife populations, and understanding and incorporating these effects into planning will reduce risks posed to both aviation safety and wildlife species.Published by Elsevier B.V.

“…This taxonomy neatly overlays the Thomas and Lever (2003), Graham and Guyer (1999) and Pastowski (2003) categories, though it disaggregates the 'industry' grouping and introduces a form of hierarchy that is not presented before.…”

“…Thus, Thomas and Lever (2003) list ten actors, namely the government, airport, employees, service partners (include airlines), local authorities, travelling public, local community, Non Governmental Organisations, providers of other transport services in the area and airport suppliers. Taking a different perspective, Graham and Guyer (1999) suggest airlines, wider society, airline customers, regulators and airport operators as being the relevant stakeholders. Aggregating these groupings, Pastowski (2003) categorises the stakeholders in the aviation sector into:…”

“…In response to the growth of the LCCs market share, several major airlines have announced initiatives to meet the growing demand of fare conscious travellers (Eroglu, 2015 The low cost carrier business model has transformed airlines market, making flying cheaper than driving, and opening significant new market opportunities (Price and Hermans, 2008). Strong liberalization of the EU airline industry, occurring by the introduction of the third package of deregulation measures in 1993, has granted EU airlines access to other EU markets under its provision (Graham and Guyer, 1999). For airlines operating in the EU, that meant that they could establish themselves in any EU country, operate services to and from the EU member states that are not the airlines' state of origin and determine their own fares, level of frequency, schedules and capacity, with all effective economic restrictions having been removed (Scharpenseel, 2001).…”

The effects of the low cost carriers' presence on airport performance: evidence from Croatia

2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Purpose -Although Low Cost Carriers (LCCs) expansion coincided with the growth of tourism demand in Croatia (and worldwide), their arrival on Croatian airports has happened just recently. As data related to their impact on airport business performance is scarce, the following research is done for the purpose of filling up a small portion of this knowledge gap. Design -Besides the theoretical framework on the issue of the LCCs impacts on airports business performance, the paper also gives empirical insights into the matter on the Croatian international airports. Methodology -Information were collected by using both available secondary data as well as the results of a semi structured questionnaire filled in by the officials from the Croatian international airports, in the period from January to May 2014. Findings -The empirical research has showed that respondents had positive opinion on the LCCs presence and their overall impact on the airports business performance. Related to the findings some strategic directions for the policy makers have been given. Originality -This article is one of the very few dealing with the LCCs presence on Croatian airline market and definitely the only one discussing LCCs impacts on Croatian airport performance from the airports' managers point of view.
