SCAN‐UK — a network approach to environmental best practice in the aviation industry

Abstract

The ability of cities to play a full part in and achieve maximum social and economic benefit from the global economy is often considered dependent to a significant extent upon the development of the airports that serve them. Many such airports however are at risk of reaching their environmental capacity before they are able to fulfill the demand for air travel.A lack of communication between key sectors such as industry, government, non‐governmental organizations (NGOs) and academia is often considered the limiting factor in the production of quality research to address issues of such environmental capacity constraints within the aviation industry from an unbiased platform. The UK Sustainable Cities and Aviation Network (SCAN‐UK) has been created in order to generate a network of experts and provide a forum designed to encourage debate between the key players.

Therefore, sustainability has become as important as safety and security issues in civil aviation in recent years.…”
