AIRPORTS AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT

Abstract

Aviation is an increasingly important form of transport, providing vital connections to the wider world for both passengers and goods. The environmental impacts of aviation, have become increasingly important. Many options exist for mitigating these impacts, including aircraft and engine technologies, advances in air traffic management and operational procedures, alternative fuels, and government policies. One of the options is the environmental impact assessment process, the aim of which to ensure a high standard of environmental protection and to contribute to the integration of environmental aspects into the preparation and adoption of strategic documents, with a view of promoting sustainable development. This paper presents the EIA process related with airports and environmental impact which must be assessment in this process.
