THE AIRPORT AND THE AIR TRANSPORT CRISIS

L'AEROPORTO E LA CRISI DEL TRANSPORTO AERO

I.C.A.O. (International Civil Aviation Organisation) statistics are presented, which show that the total volume of world air traffic (including passenger, freight and post) increased by only 2 per cent in 1975 with regard to 1974. The statistics are based on data supplied by 131 member countries and states, and the overall 2 per cent increase is an average derived from a 3 per cent increase in passenger traffic, a 1 per cent decrease in freight traffic, and A stable position in postal traffic. The article discusses the difficulties of airport location (proximity to urban areas, ground traffic facilities and noise control) and reference is made to the time lapse between decision making and the commencement of building. Finally, some promising aspects of marine and off-shore airports are discussed.
