Introduction

• This session outlines operational opportunities
  at airports to minimise emissions from
  ground-side operations.

3
International Survey - 1999

• ICAO/CAEP WG4 conducted an international survey
  to assess various operational opportunities to
  minimise fuel use and emissions (Operational
  Opportunities to Improve Air Quality Management
  at Airports, May 2000).
• Recommendations are included in Chapter 3 of the
  ICAO circular on Operational Opportunities to
  Minimise Fuel Use and Reduce Emissions.

4
International Survey - 1999

• Surveys were provided to a total of 151 airports
  and airport authorities 58 responses were
  received.
• Summary of recommendations made by survey
  respondents to further reduce gaseous emissions
  are included.
