Overview
Small and medium sized airports are crucial for regional accessibility and competitiveness, however at the same time European policies and national set strict environment targets.
Green Airports aims to develop strategies and solutions for a more eco-efficient, sustainable and green regional aviation. Tackling the challenges of regional accessibility, sustainability and regulation Green Airports is modelled to decrease green house gas and noise emissions as well as operation specific waste volumes, to increase energy efficiency and surface accessibility of airports by innovative concepts on public transportation.
As cross sectional objective the project comprehensively focuses on regional airport communication, regional cooperation and policy resolutions to safeguard the role of regional airports as accessibility gateways by improving public perception and acceptance.
